It’s not just simmering pots causing rising temperatures on the set of My Kitchen Rules: The Rivals this year.
Speaking to Woman’s Day, a well-placed source reveals judge Pete Evans has eyes for new contestant Kerry!
While the mother-of-two is happily married, our insider says it hasn’t stopped Pete, 46, from taking a liking to the 34-year-old former army sergeant, who is starring on the show alongside her sister Kaylene, 29.
Pete was “flirting” with Kerry, says our insider.

According to the insider, Pete made a series of eyebrow-raising comments over dinner about Kerry’s similarities to his second wife, Nicola Robinson.
