Below Deck legend Kate Chastain might be just as excited about Chef Ben Robinson’s return to the high seas as fans are.
On April 11, Bravo announced that Ben was returning to the galley in Below Deck Down Under Season 4. When Kate saw the news about her BFF’s return, she immediately Tweeted a cheeky response.
“Hi @bravo @51minds I’d like to book a charter. #BelowDeck,” she wrote. Wouldn’t that be a treat to have Ben and Kate back together again?
Chef Ben Robinson will make a Below Deck return on Down Under Season 4
While Kate was chief stew on Below Deck Seasons 2 through 7, she and Ben were only on two seasons together. During Seasons 2 and 4, the pair had their ups and downs, but became fast friends in the end.
They became such good buds that they rented neighboring apartments in the same Florida building during the Covid pandemic. Though rumor has it they hooked up between Seasons 2 and 3, Kate insists Ben is not her son’s father. They are close, but not that close.
We last saw Ben on Below Deck Mediterranean Season 4, when he replaced Mila Kolomeitseva. Now that he’s returning to the franchise on BDDU, even Andy Cohen is giddy. “We have waited too long for this,” Andy commented underneath Bravo’s announcement.
Joining Captain Jason Chambers and Chef Ben on Below Deck Down Under is another fan favorite. Chief stew Daisy Kelliher is transferring in from Below Deck Sailing Yacht. She probably needs a change of scenery following her messy history with Gary King.
Though none of the other crew have been confirmed, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City ladies will come aboard for a charter. It’s about time we got a Housewives/Below Deck crossover.
Below Deck Down Under airs Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
TELL US – ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING CHEF BEN AGAIN? ARE YOU HAPPY TO HAVE THE RHOSLC HOUSEWIVES ON BOARD?
