It’s episode nine of My Kitchen Rules 2023 and time for Gatecrashers Amber and Mel to cook.
Their Instant Restaurant, Salty Secrets, had a predominantly Middle Eastern flavour, which they hoped would impress judges Colin Fassnidge and Manu Feildel.
Taking inspiration from her husband’s Lebanese family, Mel was heading up Entree and Main, with recipes that had been handed down to her by her Mother-in-law. Meanwhile, Amber was ready to take the reigns on Dessert, with a dish passed down from her Nanna.
Entrée

The drama
Claudean and Chris face off after Claudean learns that Chris has called her a b*tch! Rather than backing down, he then explains why he thinks she is one.
Christian then gets pulled into the drama and it becomes a three-way name-calling session.
Patricija also reveals that she has been conducting social media background checks on her fellow contestants and they all feel threatened, thinking she may now have an unfair advantage.
