This is the female My Kitchen Rules duo booted from the show after an alleged row with an all-male team at a Tasmanian hotel.
Real estate dynamo Jess Alvial and her sister Emma Byron were kicked off the program following a November stoush with a male team in Launceston.
The incident reportedly involved a confrontation after the women heard ‘someone saying something particularly insensitive about a young boy’.

The Seven Network has already begun promoting the Sydney pair as pot-stirrers, with a commercial featuring the pair at loggerheads with another female pairing.
In one cutting remark already aired by the network, Ms Byron said about a dish: ‘I think if they had put a boot on my plate, it’d probably (have) tasted better.
The network, not wanting to spoil a show more than a month from airing, has been coy about details surrounding the controversial incident.
Citing network insiders, the Sunday Telegraph claimed the women ‘went at’ the men off-camera after overhearing the remark from outside.
The incident purportedly led one contestant to ‘cross a line’. ‘Someone crossed a line that shouldn’t be crossed,’ a Seven spokeswoman was quoted saying.

Ms Alvial, a married mother from South Sydney, is the general manager of a Ray White real estate branch.
She is an accredited trainer with a Diploma in Management and leads a team of 15 staff.
Meantime, a Double Bay business described Emma, one of four siblings, as an ‘aspiring model’ in 2000.

MKR has often tended to focus as much on the personalities doing the cooking as the meals themselves.
Prior lightning-rod contestants include Ash Pollard and Camilla Counsel, from 2015, and previously Chloe James and Kelly Ramsey.
The sisters referred inquiries to Seven’s publicity team, which declined to comment. The season airs from January 29.
