Respecting the last wish of the former contestant of MasterChef, her loved ones arrived for her funeral and burial dressed in white. A tragic figure was Demi Georgiou’s partner, Maria Elena Xyromeriti, with whom the chef was set to marry in two months.
They are organizing a beach party in Paros after her funeral
According to information from alphanews.live, on Friday, July 26, her friends are organizing what Demi Georgiou herself desired and even expressed while she was alive. They are preparing a beach party in Paros at sunset.
The well-known chef had requested that it be a party like a wedding, where everyone would wear white and laugh. In fact, there will also be rides on the sea with the jet ski that Demi Georgiou had purchased for her wedding day. It is noted that during these days, her home in Pagkrati remains open for friends and acquaintances who wish to visit in her memory.
Her death
The chef who introduced herself to the television audience through MasterChef in 2020 suffered septic shock from a severe infection while she was in Paros, where she was working. She was urgently transported to Athens from the island, remained intubated at the General State Hospital of Nikaia, and ultimately lost her battle for life.
Who was Demi Georgiou
She participated in the cooking reality show four years ago and stood out for her skills as a chef with vegan choices for gourmet and not only dishes. Apart from her journey in the kitchen of the popular competition on Star, Demi Georgiou had also attracted media attention for the difficulties she faced as a homosexual woman. “Despite the difficulties she faces for my choice to be married, she is here and supports me,” she had said in her MasterChef audition about her then-wife Alkisti.

She wanted to marry her partner
In light of the draft bill on the marriage of same-sex couples, Demi Georgiou expressed a few months ago her desire to marry.
The former MasterChef contestant revealed in February that she proposed to her partner and emphasized that she would like to have a religious wedding.

Specifically, she had said on “Yia Sou” that: “Thank you for anything that was voted, but I want to go to a church, to dress as a bride, I don’t understand why I can’t… I don’t want to go to a town hall, I want to go to a little church.” Regarding her partner, she had stated at the time: “We are in a cohabitation agreement and we are well. The marriage proposal has been made anyway in London.”
Furthermore, regarding the church’s stance on the matter, she had commented: “I believe in the church, I love, I believe. I grew up in the church. Am I marrying my girlfriend inside the church? No. Where is the equality? I am not saddened; I am disappointed with a… half draft bill.”
The last photos she posted on social media before her death
Demi (Dimitra) Georgiou’s death came suddenly, as nothing indicated that this would happen. In the previous period, she had shared with her online friends on Facebook and Instagram photos of the dishes she prepared on the island, with her enjoying her stay in Naoussa and smiling at the camera.
