‘Too risky’: MKR slammed over shock ‘unhygienic’ act as contestants seen preparing food with their hair down

My Kitchen Rules viewers have expressed outrage after some of this year’s contestants were seen preparing food with their hair down.

The Channel 7 cooking juggernaut sees aspiring chefs from across Australia open their homes for a culinary battle in pursuit of a $100,000 prize.

Season 15 hit screens on Monday night with six new teams set to battle it out for kitchen supremacy.

Among this year’s contestants plating up are mother-daughter duo Anne and Maree.

During Tuesday night’s episode, the duo opened their kitchen and honoured their late Yia-yia’s legacy with traditional Greek recipes.

Eagle-eyed fans took to social media to question why neither woman tied their hair up while cooking or plating up their creations.

“Can't understand why their hair is not tied up!” one viewer wrote.
