INSIDE STELLA AND
JAZZEY’S SECRET
RELATIONSHIP
DRAMA
T
hey’re the first
to admit to being
very best friends
and ‘proud’ of
how well they get
on in the MKR kitchen- but it seems Stella and
Jazzey’s close bond has
caused a few headaches
when it comes to their
private lives.
Stella tells New Idea
that a former girlfriend was
so jealous of the time she
spent with her MKR
teammate that it caused
problems in their relationship.
‘I had a relationship before
the show and my girlfriend
called saying: “You need to
stop having such a good time
with Jazzey and spend timeWhile Georgie

Alicia put some on.Two contestants have revealed to
New Idea they gained significant
amounts of weight during filming,
while others lost some!
‘During the show I gained 10
kilos,’ Alicia confesses.
‘One of the things that I noticed
was being in such a stressful
situation, sometimes we wouldn’t
get back to the hotel until four
o’clock in the morning. By that
time we hadn’t eaten anything
substantial for a while and you
get room service at four o’clock
in the morning. Then you’re
up again early the next
morning and your body
goes through a lot.’

with me!” We did unfortunately
break up,’ she says.
‘Yeah, I’ll probably stay single
for quite a bit now – learn a bit
about myself.’
Jazzey admits her friendship
with Stella got off to a rocky
start when they battled it out for
the affections of the same man.
‘We officially met at school in
Year 7,’ Jazzey tells. ‘Stella knewof me because I was dating a boy
that she liked so she hated me!
And then she met me and really
liked me and I really liked her –
and I didn’t have the boyfriend
any more so that didn’t matter!’
In the kitchen, the pair say
their close relationship is what
sets them aside from the other
teams in the competition –
revealing that it’s actually partof their MKR strategy.
‘We get along really
well and have never
fought with each other in
the kitchen,’ Stella says.
‘It was a decision
before the show not
to fight and we know
each other very well
so it was pretty easy
not to.’
Adds Jazzey: ‘I’ve
watched a lot of series
of the show and you
will find the teams will
argue with each other
and get stressed or turn
on each other.’ Also
assisting them in the
competition was their
close bond with other
teams, namely Italian
brothers Josh and Nic.
‘For girls of their
ages, they were so
mature and we bonded
with them straight
away,’ Nic spills.‘I GAINED 10 KILOS’
‘I HAD A RELATIONSHIP BEFORE
THE SHOW... WE DID
UNFORTUNATELY BREAK UP’
losing the weight she gained.
‘I’ve probably got about three
kilos to go to make myself feel
better but it’s not so much the
weight now, it’s feeling flabby,’
she explains.
Alicia says the competition had
the opposite effect on her sister.
‘Georgie lost weight,’ Alicia
spills. ‘That was her way of
dealing with the stress.’However, like Alicia, Sydney
mum Jess reveals she also put on
weight during her time on MKR.
‘I’m f****** fat,’ she states.
‘I have put on so much weight.
I would have put on about four
kilos in the past four months.
‘So, now I’m just trying really
hard to work it off and get back
into a normal routine again.’The Perth best friends grew
close to a number of contestants
on MKR, especially Italian
brothers Josh and Nic (above).
