She then added: ‘I thought that’s a good strategy because I figured that the judges wouldn’t be as familiar with Korean food as they would be with Italian.’

Dami went on to tell the publication that she was keen to be part of the reality series as she’s a lover of food. 

‘I was really keen to do it because I love nothing more than food,’ she said.  

‘Even though I wouldn’t call myself the best cook, my mum’s a really good cook so I really appreciate great cooking,’ she added.

It comes after Dami spoke out on her frustrations at being asked about her family plans in a recent Stellar magazine article in February.

Dami, who wed boyfriend Noah Kim in 2012, said she has found questions to do with baby plans frustrating. 

‘It’s such an inappropriate question [to ask about baby plans],’ she said, referring to a particular story early in her career.  

‘I was only 24, just getting started. I wasn’t this girl who was dreaming of having this perfect family,’ she added.

‘I felt like that’s how people saw me because I had a husband and I was this nice, smiling Asian chick,’ she continued. 

Dami has proven to be a force on the Australian music scene since winning The X Factor in 2013.

She has released five successful studio albums, toured the country, represented Australia at Eurovision, and starred on Dancing With The Stars.
