Yahoo Lifestyle MKR: Jessica versus Manu's shock fat feud explodes
It’s the shock showdown that stopped Australia – Jessica’s fiery attack on My Kitchen Rules' lovable judge Manu, accusing him of being unhealthy and unfit.
‘She didn’t call him fat, but geez, she came close,’ reveals fellow contestant Nev.
Adds team-mate Kell: ‘She basically told Manu he was overweight. I’ve been watching the show for a long time, and I’ve never seen a contestant launch a personal attack on a judge – it was a new low.’

But Jessica tells New Idea that she has no regrets. ‘Who cares if it’s implied that I gestured that Manu’s fat? It’s better to be honest and real.’
'The insults were flowing out of her like a tap,’ Kell reveals.
‘The way she was being so negative, pointing out the most ridiculous things about the food and just praising herself – she rubbed everyone up the wrong way.’
