Matt Preston has an unlikely opinion on his fellow My Kitchen Rules co-star Nigella Lawson.
Speaking on Tuesday morning's Fitzy & Wippa, the food critic weighed in on what the 62-year-old British celebrity cook is really like behind the scenes of the Channel Seven reality show.
'Nigella is like that younger sister you love but is a little bit annoying at times, she likes a little pop at you. Which is why I love working with her,' Matt, 60, revealed. 'She's mischievous.'

'You think she's going to be a bit anodyne, a bit bland, and then she's actually, you know, spirited and fiery and all the stuff,' he added.
'That side of Nigella is brilliant to work with.'
Wippa, who mentioned the radio team had recently spoken to Nigella, poked fun at the possibility that the cookbook author might be 'flirting' with the co-star.
'She made it very clear to us - and I thought that you might be under threat, your relationship and marriage - because she came out and said she loves a hairy man,' he said. 'Is she flirting with you?'
'No, no, no highly unlikely,' Matt replied.
Matt is happily married to wife Emma Preston and they share three children together.
Monday night marked Nigella’s final episode of My Kitchen Rules, stepping aside for Matt Preston to co-host alongside Manu for the remainder of the season.
She replaced controversial judge Pete Evans for the first part of the series and fans have said her appointment is a 'massive upgrade.'

The British food writer joined Manu Feildel as a judge for the first time during the premiere of the reboot on Sunday, August 7 and she was incredibly well-received.
One fan called her 'the vital ingredient this show has been missing.'
Other fans wrote: 'Not only is she a bona fide food-lover & relatable to all us home cooks but it’s her personable nature, positive energy, insightfulness & unique way with words that makes her so endearing.'
