Introducing the new MKR teams...

More than two million people tuned in to see Sammy and Bella take out the grand final of My Kitchen Rules last year and now the hit show is back – with a new twist... This time the Kiwis are coming to dinner!

There has always been a healthy rivalry between Aussies and our trans-Tasman neighbours, and the competitive Kiwi couple are sure to add some extra fire to an already feisty series, which will spend more time than ever in the couples’ homes.

Celebrity chef and judge Pete Evans likens the new batch of contestants to a big family reunion.

‘There is the grumpy old uncle, the cheeky young cousins and the crazy aunt that always says the wrong things,’ he says. ‘You won’t want to miss this party.’

And being the third series, Manu Feildel is expecting the standard to be higher than ever. ‘I know what good restaurant food should be like so when I sit down at a table I really want amazing home cooking.’
