Best mates Clare and Rebecca say they're polar opposites in the kitchen. While care worker Clare is disorganised and messy - barrister Rebecca loves to make lists and is obsessively tidy. And while that sounds like a recipe for disaster, the Dublin-based duo have a few tricks up their sleeves as they artfully reinvent traditional dishes with innovative and ambitious cooking techniques. There's more to Irish food than bacon and cabbage, you know - and these girls are out to prove a point!
Beefy Essex boys Danny and Kev bonded over food while working together as firefighters. As a former mess cook, Kev has lots of experience planning and catering for large numbers - while Danny dreams of serving eye-wateringly hot Asian street food from his own food van. This gutsy double act should definitely have a few fire engines on standby after serving their spicy menu to the MKR contestants.
Inseparable mates Gabi & Steph not only work side-by-side at Gabi's auntie's restaurant - they live and socialise together, too. In fact, you'll rarely find them apart, particularly when it comes to getting creative in the kitchen. Sunderland-born Steph and Gabi, whose family is from Italy, love mixing their cooking influences to create no-nonsense northern food with a taste of the Mediterranean. If they win the show, the girls plan to travel the world selling pizza from their very own food truck.
Practical Stuart loves home-cooked English food. His good friend Duncan, meanwhile, brings a Ghanaian twist to their menu. They think the results are daring, delicious and highly original. The neighbours first started cooking together at a local 'bring-a-pot' night - and are very excited about their Afro Saxon fusion style of cuisine.
Foodie Emma met hairdresser Phillip when he started styling her hair. They discovered a shared love of cooking and now run their own supper club. While Phillip loves to play host, Emma gets busy in the kitchen producing top-quality dishes for an exclusive clientele.

It's not just fine foods they'll be dishing up on My Kitchen Rules - get ready for a few home truths, too!
