Just last month, My Kitchen Rules stars Josh and Amy insisted they were stronger than ever – but now Woman’s Day can exclusively reveal cracks in the WA-based couple’s relationship have begun to show, in the wake of a series of heated spats during filming.
In this week’s magazine, sources tell us the pair’s union is on rocky ground, and it’s believed they may even have split months ago, despite them doing their best to keep up appearances for the sake of the show.
Insiders believe the couple parted ways shortly after filming the Seven series because Amy had simply had enough of “Seafood King” Josh’s behaviour.
“Josh can be quite difficult. At first everyone thought he was playing up to the cameras, but he can be tricky off-screen as well,” our source says.
“When Matt made a comment to Amy about her batting above her average [during filming], Josh didn’t defend her honour – and it’s not the only time he’s been rude to her.
Josh and Amy themselves have admitted to clashing several times in what they described as a “pressure-cooker” situation – but they assured fans the experience made them closer as a couple.
“It’s an intense environment,” Josh, 25, said of the reality TV kitchen. “The whole competition is a pressure-cooker situation. You are thrown into scenarios you’re not used to, so there were times when we fought.”
“It’s definitely an emotional rollercoaster,” added Amy.
