My Kitchen Rules favourites Ibby and Romel aren’t just great friends on screen, the pair have a close bond when the cameras aren’t rolling – hitting the beach together this week as temperatures rose in Sydney. But the fun day appeared to be sullied by a furious row, with the duo arguing animatedly throughout the outing.
The duo, who have clarified that they aren’t dating, hit the sands as pressure on the hit show begins to rise. Perhaps it was the drama unfolding on screen that contributed to tension, as the fireworks exploded during a string of clashes.
While their friendship might be up and down, one thing they insist they aren’t cooking up together, is romance.




‘We had a conversation about it before we started,’ Romel recalls. ‘The minute we got on the show we made it extremely clear that we are not partners, we’ve never shared a bed, we’ve never seen each other naked.
‘We are like brothers – as far as I am concerned, he’s got zero genitals.’




Apparently Romel said that before their beach outing, with the reality star casually exposing his bum to the elements – and onlookers – during the day.
‘Romel didn’t seem to care who saw,’ says an onlooker. ‘He was very casual about public nudity.
‘His bum was out in the blazing sun for a while – I hope he applied sunscreen.’
Super-ripped Ibby wasn’t shy about showing off his assets either – seemingly putting paid to his joking claims recently on The Morning Show that he’s ‘had my boobs done’.
‘Ibby has a hot bod,’ says an onlooker. ‘And he seems to know it.’
