    Disgraced celebrity chef Pete Evans looks dishevelled in Sydney after being fined AGAIN for spruiking fake treatments for Covid-19

    Disgraced TV chef Pete Evans has been pictured for the first time since being fined yet again for trying to cash in on Covid-19 by flogging fake treatments online.

    The former Channel Seven star, 48, looked dishevelled as he sported a scruffy grey beard and casual clothes while stepping out in Sydney.

    Looking worlds away from his days as a polished television star, the anti-vaxxer and conspiracy theorist wore grey cargo pants and a black hoodie.

    Evans also wore a white T-shirt and black sneakers.

    The sighting comes after the QAnon enthusiast was slapped with an almost $80,000 fine for trying to profit from fraudulent Covid-19 treatments online.

    It’s the second time he’s run foul of authorities after previously being fined $25,000 for trying to sell his so-called BioCharger for $15,000 a pop on Facebook.

    He insisted the light could cure Covid-19 and protect users from infection – but had no evidence to support the wild claims.

    Despite the first fine, the craggy-faced conspiracy theorist continued to try to sell the light to the unwary, along with a string of other fake treatments.

    On Tuesday, he was hit with another $79,920 in fines for advertising the BioCharger and several other unapproved and totally ineffective treatments.

    He unlawfully advertised two oral medicines, static magnet products and hyperbaric chambers to breathe pure oxygen in a pressurised environment.

    Evans falsely implied the products were endorsed by health professionals, but he has now been ordered to remove the posts, and to cease all adverts for them.

    The former reality TV star has also been permanently booted off Facebook and Instagram for sharing misinformation and conspiracy theories.

    He has repeatedly made posts opposing Covid-19 vaccines and masks, and falsely claimed in a podcast that the coronavirus is a hoax.

    Evans was a judge on My Kitchen Rules between 2010 and 2020, and had more than one million Facebook followers until his forced exit.
