'My Kitchen Rules' Manu Feildel: 'Food and booze are my vices'

'My Kitchen Rules' Manu Feildel: 'Food and booze are my vices'

The French celebrity chef, who judged the My Kitchen Rules final in Australia earlier this week, said that he is "addicted" to both food and alcohol.

When asked what his "best vice" is, Feildel told TV Week: "I'm going to say food and alcohol. Food, because I just love it - I'm addicted to it - and a bit of the booze. When you work in a restaurant, it's easy to help yourself to a drink while you're in the kitchen."

Feildel said that he has had "some great jobs" in his life, revealing that the one he "enjoyed the most" was at a "small restaurant" preparing seafood in London.

He added that his life has been "fantastic" since he moved to Australia, adding: "I arrived with a backpack and wanted to see the country. From one job to another, from my first TV audition to where I am today, it was a great decision to come here. I call myself a 'Fussie' - I'm half French and half Aussie!"

Although Feildel admitted to sometimes wanting to lie "in bed watching TV all day", he said that he consistently "aim[s] high" when it comes to his career. He said: "I will keep on going until I get it. I'm hard working. I don't sit down and wait for things to come to me."

Feildel recently revealed that he has hired a personal trainer to help him lose the weight he has gained while filming My Kitchen Rules.
