The contestants, as well as the judges, have a great time hanging out, meeting fans, playing pranks and attending events.

Here are some of the shots you won’t get to see on TV.

Manu and Pete take turns styling each other’s hair. No make-up artist required.

Harry indulges in some sangria, while Andrew (half of the ACT’s first team) shows his love for Canberra.

Chloe and Kelly on International Women’s Day.

There’s nothing like a giant MKR poster to make you feel tiny, and Annie and Jason serve up some cheesy home cooking.

Uel and Shannelle cook like this every night, and the shades are required to keep a chef incognito.

Luke and Scotty drop in on Chloe and Kelly to share some foodie inspo.

Tresne stops in at the local lolly shop, while the boys continue to run amok.

Vicki and Manu cosy up for a selfie.

A late night burger for Harry, and Uel and Shannelle get up close and personal with Colin.

OMG it’s Larry Emdur! Tresne and Carly were stoked to meet him.

Danielle enjoys a coffee before a big day at the races, and Helena and Vicki are super impressed with their creation.

Andrew and Emelia join some past contestants at a foodie function.

The crew are always hard at work.

It’s a never-ending schedule of functions and interviews for the contestants – and putting up with Manu.

Is there nothing better than seeing yourself on TV? Wait, is that a pimple?

“Trust us, it’s really good”: Might take a bit more convincing, Danielle and Josh.

All work and no play make for dull MKR contestants, right guys?

Now this is what it really looks like behind the scenes!
