My Kitchen Rules viewers have claimed the finale was 'rigged' after underdogs Matt Gawthrop and Luke Stewart were crowned winners.
Newcastle cricket mates Matt, 27, and Luke, 28, finished with a high score of 92 out of 100 on Sunday, beating favourites Ibby Moubadder and Romel Kouyan.
And outraged fans have since swarmed Twitter with claims that Ibby and Romel should have won because they had been more 'consistent' throughout the series.
