My Kitchen RulesRob and Liam Watt have delighted fans on social media after they reunited with their co-stars Simone Preste and Viviana Barile at their pop-up restaurant this week. The ‘Modern Italians’, who won this year’s season of the reality show, hosted an exclusive event on Monday evening with live cooking stations, bottomless drinks, antipasto and live music for their fans to enjoy.

While the event took place in Sydney, ‘Competitive Brothers’ Rob and Liam decided to fly from Melbourne to make a surprise appearance. They shared a sweet video on social media documenting the trip and showing what happened when they walked into the venue together.
