Last night, My Kitchen Rules fan favourites Simone and Viviana made it to the grand final. They had another reason to celebrate, with Simone sharing he is going to be a dad. Simone was tearful with emotion as he spoke about the joyful news.
The wholesome episode saw a Total TV National reach of 1,795,000 and a Total TV National Average Audience of 1,062,000 for Seven.
“I’m going to be a dad soon!” said the Italian-born reality star on the show.
It comes after many fans were left heartbroken after discovering that Simone and Viviana are not a couple when he introduced viewers to his partner, Victoria, earlier in the month.
“We’re expecting a little boy,” he added.
“I’m super-happy, but also a bit nervous, especially since we don’t have family here in Australia. It will be challenging at first, but I’m confident everything will be all right in the end”.
Simone added that after moving to Australia nine years ago and becoming a citizen, he hopes his father will fly over to be with them, saying, “His support would mean a lot to us during this time”.
“It has already been an incredible journey. Being at the semi-finals with my best friend has been the best experience of my life no matter how this goes,” said Simone before Monday night’s cook-off.
“For Italians, family is absolutely everything. I care about Simo so much. We are like brother and sister,” added Viviana after winning.
Tuesday night will see Caz and Fergus take on Simone and Viviana in the grand final.
