It’s the explosive showdown you won’t see on TV, but in this week’s issue of Woman’s Day magazine, we can reveal behind the scenes all anyone can talk about is the massive fight that erupted between My Kitchen Rules judge Pete Evans and “villainous” seafood king Josh.
The show’s producers actively encouraged egos and insults in a bid to spice up this year’s MKR storylines, but our spies on set have revealed their cunning plan backfired when a continually antagonised Pete lost his cool.

The irate judge even threatened to walk away from filming, before declaring an all-out war on Josh – the one contestant who has finally pushed him over the edge.
“Throughout shooting, Josh really played up his villain role. He was arrogant and antagonistic, just as producers had hoped and encouraged,” reveals our source.
“But he took it too far when he said he thought paleo was rubbish. Pete initially took it in good humour, but at Courtney and Duncan’s instant restaurant, Josh really started throwing a few jabs at Pete directly.”
Josh and Amy are stirring everyone up.
“At one point, Josh started saying paleo was “a bunch of bull—-” and asked Pete if he thought he was being a hypocrite for breaking his diet for the show,” our source says.
Humiliated and furious that he was being mocked by a contestant, an enraged Pete, 42, called an urgent meeting with producers and demanded they stop encouraging Josh – or else!
