Funeral director Angus and mate Simon serve up a My Kitchen Rules feast to die for
They’re deadly serious about cooking – but these two South Australian mates are anything but serious in the kitchen.
Fifth-generation funeral director Angus and his best mate Simon are bringing their wicked sense of humour to My Kitchen Rules - coming soon to Seven and 7plus - with their aptly named instant restaurant “Last Orders.”
“The only thing we’re burying is the competition,” laughs Angus, who is determined to blitz his competitors in Australia’s favourite home cooking show.
The pair met 11 years ago working in a pub and have been mates ever since, bonding over good food, good times and plenty of laughs.
Recently engaged, Angus is a natural entertainer with a dry wit and plenty of stories, while Simon is his methodical, recipe-focused offsider.
Chalk and cheese in the kitchen, the pair are hoping their contrasting styles will be the perfect recipe for success.

New promo featuring NSW couple Jane (food stylist) and Shane shown during Logies red carpet.
Colin Fassnidge told Sonia Kruger at the red carpet that there was a walkout and a table flip during day two of filming for the upcoming season.
Edit: two more teams were introduced during the Logies telecast: Filipino nurses from Melbourne and “bogan ladies” from Adelaide.
Uamaki-Mu, 55, was sentenced to two years imprisonment but was allowed to walk free on immediate parole.
She was accused of multiple counts of rape and sexual assault, however those charges were dropped in a deal made with the prosecution.
“I’m more of a taster than an eater”
Chic food stylist Jane is ready to shake-up My Kitchen Rules
With a flair for design and dinner parties – Blue Mountains married couple, food stylist Jane and builder Shane, are ready to make their mark on My Kitchen Rules, coming soon to Seven and 7plus.
Bold, creative and always impeccably presented, the pair describe their cooking as “vibrant, passionate and packed with flavour.”
Jane, who says she’s “more of a taster than an eater”, is confident and unapologetically opinionated. She knows she can replicate any dish and plans to prove that style and substance can absolutely share a plate.
Former hairdresser turned builder Shane is the calm to Jane’s storm. Laid-back and level-headed, he knows exactly when to step in - and when to let Jane take centre stage.
Together, they are out to prove their taste in food and fashion is a cut above the rest.
Their Instant Restaurant will be as bold and beautiful as they are, with striking food, plenty of personality and a few surprises designed to turn heads and ruffle feathers.
Will Jane and Shane’s flair for fabulous food impress the competition, or will their confidence prove too hot for the kitchen?

Two promos were shown during ad breaks of The Voice tonight. The first one introduced NSW duo Harrison and Oliver who specialised in retro dishes, the second one was a general promo covering all the teams revealed so far.
“We’re classy bogans”
Meet My Kitchen Rules besties Alisha and Deanne
Chaotic, brash and bursting with energy, My Kitchen Rules best friends Alisha and Deanne don’t just enter a room – they take it over!
Expect big laughs and complete kitchen madness when the self-described “classy bogans” serve up simple, home-style dishes packed with flavour, including Alisha’s nan’s delicious sticky date pudding and Deanne’s crowd-pleasing birria tacos.
Describing their dynamic, Alisha said: “We’re two peas in a pod. We’re both chaotic, loud, in-your-face, crazy, funny and quick-witted – and we have absolutely no filter.”
Deanne added: “We have massive personalities and are basically one brain. We always say we must have been switched at birth because we should be twins.”
Alisha and Deanne met at school as teenagers and have been inseparable ever since. They spend almost all their free time together, constantly “yapping”, rarely giving anyone else the chance to get a word in.
And if anyone comes for them at the My Kitchen Rules table, watch out – these proud, “classy bogans” will give as good as they get.

Meet the 2026 My Kitchen Rules teams
Australia’s greatest home cooking competition is back, and bigger than ever. A brand-new season of My Kitchen Rules returns to Seven and 7plus at 7.30pm on Monday, 28 September.
From bustling cities to regional towns, MKR travels across the country to uncover a diverse group of passionate home cooks from all walks of life.
Best friends, siblings, parents and children, partners and unlikely teammates all come together with one shared dream: to prove their food is the best in Australia.
Culinary icons Manu Feildel and Colin Fassnidge return as co-hosts and judges, bringing their trademark camaraderie, expertise and passion for discovering the country’s best home cooks.
Manu describes the new season as “exciting, fiery and spicy,” with the teams serving up menus inspired by Australians’ appetite for comforting food and value for money.
His advice for teams hoping to take out the title? Stop watching the clock.
“I know it’s easier said than done, but try not to focus on the clock,” Manu says. “The clock is your enemy. The more you watch it, the more stressed you become – and the slower you work.”
For Colin, preparation is the secret to success.
“The biggest skill a team can have is a plan B and a plan C,” he says. “Expect things to go wrong and have something in your back pocket to fix them.”
Expect plenty of big personalities, bold flavours and unforgettable moments.
From treasured family recipes to innovative modern creations, there will be extraordinary dishes and
some of the most impressive cooking ever seen on MKR.
But great food is only part of the recipe.
This year, tensions simmer as traditional cooks go head-to-head with culinary risk-takers. Different cooking philosophies and personalities collide, rivalries emerge and every score carries enormous weight.
This season also delivers major surprises, high-stakes kitchen moments, and bombshell revelations at the table.
Only the best will make it to Kitchen HQ, where one team will rise above the rest to claim $100,000 and the title of My Kitchen Rules champions.
MKR is produced by ITV Studios Australia for the Seven Network.
