MKR judge Colin Fassnidge has lifted the lid on what happens when the cameras aren’t filming and suggested that fellow judge Manu Feildel gets some favouritism.

During an interview with Chattr, Fassnidge said that the production staff tend to cater to Feildel’s needs more than they do to his.

“When we film we have like a campervan at the back. So when we’re on our break, we’ll go out there,” Fassnidge explained.

How does production favour Manu?

Fassnidge added that both judges shared the campervan, and it’s essentially their trailer where they hang out when they’re not shooting scenes for the cooking show.

“Frenchie [Feildel], to stop himself from getting grumpy, he likes to have a little sleep in between courses,” he said. “He always gets the makeup girls in the wardrobe girls to put a blanket over him and he gets a pillow and a little eye mask.”

Fassnidge said that Feildel takes up the bed in the van, which leaves him to sit at the table and wait.

“He always takes up the back of the campervan. And I’m like the younger brother who has to sit at the camping table, you know, in the middle of the van. And I’m like, ‘Well, when do I get to lie down?’

“[Manu] is the man who gets all the little perks from all the ladies. They all make sure he’s warm and whatnot. Because some nights it’s like freezing. But, what about me?” He laughed.

How long have both judges been on MKR?

In terms of tenure on MKR, Feildel does have a slight advantage. He’s been a Series Judge since the show’s inception in 2010 and is currently on his 13th season.

Meanwhile, Fassnidge has been part of MKR since season four which was filmed in 2013. However, he was a Blind Tasting and Panel Judge until series 11, where he became a Series Judge.
