My Kitchen Rules’ Manu Feildel calls for overhaul of the show
Judge Manu Feildel has called for an overhaul of next year’s My Kitchen Rules after fighting between contestants became the focal point of this year’s season.
The French chef says he wants to see “more food and less fighting” in 2019 after this year’s show saw Sonya and Hadil kicked out of the competition for their insults and threats to other teams.
Manu believes the bad behaviour not only turns off fans of the cooking show, but it also unfair to other teams as it throws them off their game.
“It [fighting] obviously has a huge impact on everyone involved and makes everyone uncomfortable,” Manu told The Daily Telegraph.
“It would be hard for anyone to perform under those circumstances.
“What I have been hearing [from viewers] is more food and less fighting — and I echo that.
“I personally, don’t want to see it again. It’s the most intense season I’ve been part of.
“The most crazy decisions we’ve had to make. It was very upsetting.”
Manu’s comments are in contrast to fellow judge Pete Evans, who recently defended the show from accusations of bullying.
MKR is in its final week with the winning team to be crowned on Sunday night’s grand finale.
