My Kitchen Rules Drama
The much-anticipated episode finally aired exposing the details that led the contestants Sonya and Hadil to be dismissed from the show by judges Manu Feildel and Pete Evans, a first in My Kitchen Rules’ nine year history.
Now, in his first interview after the episode, Manu has delivered another blow, telling TV Week the NSW duo had the talent to win the entire competition and claim the $250,000 prize money if only they’d “zipped it”.
“I think they were strong competitors, yes indeed,” he told the publication.
“They knew how to cook very, very well. I wish they would have just zipped it and got on with the cooking.
“They didn’t have to go that far to win the competition.”
While the pair in question, Sonya and Hadil responded to fans on Instagram with lengthy replies blaming the editing of the show and claiming they’d been bullied.
“[We are] not in control of how we are portrayed but we lived it and can sleep well knowing the truth,” the pair wrote.

Firefighters are still trying to bring a large bushfire in Sydney’s south-west under control after it was believed to have been deliberately lit at Casula on Saturday.

Hundreds of firefighters were brought in from a wide area of Sydney to help safeguard properties.
