MKR's Manu Feildel and Pete Evans break silence about booting a team from the show
My Kitchen Rules judges Manu Feildel and Pete Evans have spoken for the first time about their decision to boot a team off the show.
In a piece to camera, the pair, both looking very serious, explain they've “never had to deal with anything like this” over the shows eight seasons.
“After continued warnings and an unprecedented attack on other teams, we had to act,” Manu said in a video shared on Wednesday.
Although the scandal has not yet aired on TV, it is widely believed that it is Sonya and Hadil who will be kicked out of the competition.
“We would like to take a moment to talk about the events that led to one team being removed from my kitchen rules,” Manu begins.
“Over the history of the show, we've never had to deal with anything like this, the removal of a team from the competition,” Pete adds.
Confronting footage of Sonya and Hadil calling “botox sisters” Jess and Emma “Bubba Gump” and threatening to “come for them” is then aired.
The video then cuts back to Manu explaining that the show had no choice but the remove the team from the competition.
Channel Seven has been running numerous promos, promising that the “MKR Scandal begins Sunday at 7pm.”
