MY Kitchen Rules contestants Sonya and Hadil have broken their silence after being ‘excused’ from the MKR table.
The NSW team were explosively removed from the table by judge Manu Feildel in Wednesday night’s highly anticipated episode, after they continued to verbally attack, taunt and ridicule fellow contestant.
In particular, the pair chose to attack fellow NSW team Jess and Emma.
Now, the fiery pair have apologised to MKR viewers for their harsh words.
‘There is more to the ‘scandal’ than meets the eye, however we take full responsibility for our words that came out of our mouths and we apologise,’ they wrote to Instagram.
‘Like any reality TV show, no one but the people on-set filming 10-14 hour days know exactly what goes on behind the tears, the tension, the smiles, the reactions and the words exchanged.
‘We wish the remaining teams in the competition the best of luck.’
Since the episode aired, Sonya and Hadil have been receiving nasty comments on their social media pages, forcing Jess and Emma to tell viewers to stop the bullying.
Appearing on Sunrise, the pair said: ‘There is no place for bullying in any way, shape or form.
‘I think Australia really needs to look at that if they’re so against bullying and what happened on the show, they just really need to go easy on the girls as well.
‘Emma and I know first-hand what that’s like to be trolled online…we’ve forgiven and I think Australia needs to do the same and bullying is not acceptable.’
