My Kitchen Rules is all set to return in 2025, and thankfully, our favourite judges are coming back too!
Who are the judges of My Kitchen Rules 2025?
Manu Feildel and Colin Fassnidge:
The dynamic duo of celebrity chefs, Manu Feildel and Colin Fassnidge, are stepping back into the spotlight as they join forces to once again co-host, judge, and display their remarkable camaraderie on MKR’s centre stage.
Manu began his culinary career in France before moving to London, then Australia, working in top restaurants such as Bilson’s in Sydney.
He went on to open his own French bistro in Sydney, Manu at L’Étoile (which has since closed), and a restaurant in Melbourne, Le Grand Cirque (which has also now closed).
In terms of television, Manu regularly appeared on Ready Steady Cook before he first took on MKR in 2010. He then won Dancing with the Stars in 2011.
For Manu, being at the helm of My Kitchen Rules is nothing short of a delight.
“It’s always a pleasure working on MKR… as I get to work with one of my best mates: Colin Fassnidge,” he told WHO last year.
As for Colin, the Irish-born chef first trained under renowned chef Raymond Blanc in the UK before moving to Australia in 1999.
He then built his reputation as head chef and later owner of acclaimed Sydney restaurants including Four in Hand and 4Fourteen.
Colin first appeared on MKR in 2013 as a guest judge. But in 2020, the chef was bumped up to co-host and judge!
“We are sort of a yin and yang,” Colin told WHO of his and Manu’s dynamic.
“We both play off each other, we know what the other likes and doesn’t like, and we don’t always agree with each other, which is a good thing. We hang out together on our days off. I’m working with one of my best mates.”
