Flashback! How MKR’s Pete and Manu have changed a decade on
Since Channel Seven’s hit cooking show My Kitchen Rules debuted on TV screens across the nation almost 10 years ago, Pete Evans and Manu Feildel have been on one heck of a journey, attending countless instant restaurants and embarking on hundreds of flights around Australia – all in the name of finding the country's best home cooks.
Pete recently shared a flashback image of himself on his Instagram account – believed to be from an early season of MKR – and noted how different he looks.
“Ahhh the days before paleo…#inflammation,” the celebrity chef commented.
Pete further explained to a fan, “I was severely inflamed all through my body (and) about a month after eating paleo 100% all of that inflammation disappeared, and I never felt better.”
Meanwhile, earlier this year Manu hinted it might be time to hang up his MKR apron and not return for the tenth season in 2019.
The father-of-two revealed he had “achieved my dreams” by appearing on the hit reality TV show, but also admitted he had some “really good moments and some not so good”.
“Sometimes when they get you around the table, you go, ‘You know, I don’t really want to be here,’” the 45-year-old confessed.
“It’s just a negative place sometimes,” Manu added.
“I need to balance my life, otherwise you forget and then you go crazy.”
Do you remember what Pete and Manu looked like when MKR first premiered in 2010?
