“Cheating” scandal on “My Kitchen Rules”: Colin Fassnidge’s controversial act during the finale sparks allegations. Sisters Radha and Prabha got help to win the cooking show
Identical twins Radha and Prabha emerged victorious in the thrilling finale of My Kitchen Rules on Tuesday.
However, some fans viewed the win as controversial as the sisters’ mother was on hand to give cooking tips from the viewing platform.
At one point, Radha and Prabha’s mother got so big that judge Colin Fassnidge loudly said he would give her a “yellow card” – a term referees use in football when penalizing a player for a foul.
Fassnidge, who is known for his ‘laddish’ style, was clearly joking when he made this remark to Radha and Prabhas’ mother.
But that hasn’t stopped fans from bashing the sisters online.

“If mom had trained, twins should have been disqualified,” one MKR viewer wrote on the show’s official Facebook page.
“She definitely coached the girls, which shouldn’t be allowed,” said another.
“Mom shouldn’t have said anything…it’s a competition,” another added.
In a clip from the finale, Radha and Prabhas’ mother can be seen shouting at the sisters and asking detailed questions about how they prepare a seafood dish.
“How many people are cooking here today?” Colin asked once.
Apparently uncomfortable with the situation, Prabha told Colin, “Yes, we have mom here today, which is nice.”
Radha was less diplomatic, telling Colin that her mother was “very vocal at the moment.”
Meanwhile, her mother joked that she would like to come into the kitchen.
“What’s that, Mom?” Do you want to come down, Mom?” Colin said, smiling, before adding: “No, you can’t. “I’m about to give you a yellow card.”
The MKR final began with Colin announcing that the judges expected nothing less than a “perfect four-course meal”.

The two teams then got to work: Radha and Prabha (26) prepared a spicy fish fry with yellow dhal, while Nick (36) and Christian (34) prepared delicious bavette steaks with red wine jus for their opening dish.
When the judges tasted both teams’ dishes after a tiring break from cooking, they admitted they were both delicious and said both sides had worked hard to create a great meal.
However, only one team could be crowned winners and the judges shocked the room when they announced that Radha and Prabha had edged out their competitors with a narrow win.
