Colin Fassnidge has taken to Instagram to slam the negative comments My Kitchen Rules' winners Radha and Prabha received following their win in the MKR finale.

The twin sisters took the MKR crown after blowing the judges out of the water with their four-course Indian-inspired feast, beating out Nick and Christian.

However following their win, some MKR viewers have taken to social media to complain, leaving racist comments.

The backlash caused MKR judge Colin Fassnidge to speak out and urge people to be kinder to each other.

The celebrity chef uploaded a video on his Instagram account, calling out the negative people and their horrendous comments.

“Congratulations to the winners of MKR this year, if you agree, (or if) you don’t agree,” Colin said.

“But you know what I don’t agree with? People sending racial negative comments about the winners."

Colin went on to tell the haters to 'get over it'.

"To anyone in this day and age, we won’t stand for it. And if your mind is so small, get over it, mate. It's a cooking competition, we're not saving lives," he said.

"Be nice to the people and keep your racial abuse out of a cooking competition."

People were quick to agree with Colin in the comments and congratulate the twins.

"Keep racial abuse not only out of a cooking competition but keep it out full stop! Congrats to the girls, both gf teams did a fab job," one person said.

"Oh man, really? What sad, base humans we have 😔 well said Colin & congratulations girls," another said.

"So disappointing to hear this, the girls food looked delicious well done to them and you Colin for speaking up," another commented.
