They’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.

‘For girls of their ages, they were so mature and we bonded with them straight away,’ Nic spills
