Give My Kitchen Rules judges Colin Fassnidge and Manu Feildel a microphone and all hell breaks loose! On a summer afternoon at Irish chef Colin’s Sydney eatery 4Fourteen, the two larrikins chew the fat about everything from their onetime feud to female fan attention – nothing is off the menu! French chef Manu kicks off the questioning…

Manu: What did you think of me when we first met?

Colin: We hated each other. We didn’t get on. We used to have a little feud. We met in a bar.

Manu: It started there?

Colin: You were a dick!

Manu: Yeah, you were such a nice guy and I was such a dick.

Colin: No, we had a feud for a very long time and then we got stuck working together, but we actually found out that we do get on.

Manu: We found out we’ve got more in common than we thought we did.

Colin: OK, my first question! Out of the three MKR judges [Manu, Colin and Pete Evans], who has the smelliest farts?

Both: Pete Evans! [Laughs]

Colin: See? We both said it at the same time. Mr Cabbage!

Manu: How do you cope with the attention from female contestants?

Colin: Very well.

Manu: Does it ever get awkward?

Colin: A lot.

Manu: It is actually very awkward. I mean it’s nice, but it’s awkward… you don’t know how to deal with it.

Manu: What is my worst habit? Colin: [When you say,] ‘Pull my finger!’ [Laughs]
