Things are heating up behind the scenes at My Kitchen Rules! Producers reportedly asked Manu Feildel, 50, and Colin Fassnidge, 49, to tap up one of their โcelebrity chef friendsโ to join the show next season to replace Julie Goodwin who is currently starring with them as a guest chef.
But word is theyโre on the hunt for someone who has real beef with the pair.
Insiders say producers are eyeing Curtis Stone, 48, and Gordon Ramsay, 57, to stir the pot next season, but it sounds like Colin and Manu werenโt exactly thrilled with either option.
โCurtis didnโt leave the best impression on MasterChef this year.โ

With the showโs popularity surging again, Channel Seven is planning a big shake-up for 2025.
โTheyโre going large next year with some spicy changes,โ an insider teased. โThe word is Colin and Manu will get a new judge whoโs going to completely disrupt their dynamic.โ
The producers are reportedly digging into any past feuds between the duo and other chefs, hoping to hire someone whoโll create genuine tension.
โThey want real drama, not a fake feud,โ a source explained. โColin ruffled feathers when he first joined, but heโs mellowed over time. They need someone whoโll throw the cat among the pigeons โ Manu and Colin are brilliant, but maybe too nice now.โ

Rumour has it Channel Sevenโs big 2025 announcement โ set for late November โ could involve securing the new judge.
โIf anything can rival MAFS next year, itโs MKR,โ said a source. โThe show is already giving The Block a run for its money.โ Buckle up, foodiesโnext seasonโs looking tastier than ever!
