Manu Feildel
French-Australian chef Manu Feildel has been hosting and judging My Kitchen Rules since its first season in 2010.
He’s also branched out to other reality shows, as he judged Australia’s Got Talent in 2019, sashayed on Dancing with the Stars 2021 and took on base camp on SAS Australia 2021, to name a few. So it’s safe to say he’s a man of many talents.
According to his personal website, the 49-year-old comes from a long line of chefs, so cooking is literally in his DNA.
As for his career milestones, he used to co-own L’etoile, a French bistro in Sydney’s Paddington, which closed in 2014.

Colin Fassnidge
Joining Manu as a co-host and judge is Irish-Australian chef Colin Fassnidge, who’s been a familiar face on the cooking show since 2013.
His love for pub food inspired him to open up Banksia in Sydney’s Banksia Hotel. The newly-renovated bistro serves traditional pub meals with a “modern flair”, and our mouths are watering already!
Like any renowned chef, the 49-year-old also has two cookbooks: Four Kitchens and The Commonsense Cook.
The TV personality also came fifth on I’m A Celebrity in 2021, so you know he has what it takes to whip the new crop of home chefs into shape.
Nigella Lawson
Last but definitely not least, UK icon Nigella Lawson will be judging Finals Week at Kitchen HQ, where the top teams will be battling it out for the prize.
