Flashback! How MKR’s Pete and Manu have changed a decade on
<p>Since Channel Seven’s hit cooking show <em>My Kitchen Rules</em> debuted on TV screens across the nation almost 10 years ago, Pete Evans and Manu Feildel have been on one heck of a journey, attending countless instant restaurants and embarking on hundreds of flights around Australia – all in the name of finding the country's best home cooks.</p>
<p>Pete recently shared a flashback image of himself on his Instagram account – believed to be from an early season of <em>MKR</em> – and noted how different he looks.</p>
<p>“Ahhh the days before paleo…#inflammation,” the celebrity chef commented.</p>
<p>Pete further explained to a fan, “I was severely inflamed all through my body (and) about a month after eating paleo 100% all of that inflammation disappeared, and I never felt better.”</p>
<p>Meanwhile, earlier this year Manu hinted it might be time to hang up his <em>MKR</em> apron and not return for the tenth season in 2019.</p>
<p>The father-of-two revealed he had “achieved my dreams” by appearing on the hit reality TV show, but also admitted he had some “really good moments and some not so good”.</p>
<p>“Sometimes when they get you around the table, you go, ‘You know, I don’t really want to be here,’” the 45-year-old confessed.</p>
<p>“It’s just a negative place sometimes,” Manu added.</p>
<p>“I need to balance my life, otherwise you forget and then you go crazy.”</p>
<p>Do you remember what Pete and Manu looked like when <em>MKR</em> first premiered in 2010?</p>
