After controversial cousins Mel and Jacinta were shown the door on My Kitchen Rules this week, three new teams are set to enter the competition from Tuesday.
A new preview promises the ‘Gatecrashers’ are ready to create plenty of drama.
‘We’re here to crash the party,’ claims divorcee Lara, who is set to shake things up in the MKR kitchen alongside her cooking partner and fellow Queenslander Amy.
Western Australian couple and fellow gatecrashers Marko and Danielle also had some fighting words for the MKR cast.
‘We love a little bit of competition,’ Danielle said in the new preview.
The third gatecrasher team is made up of South Australian best mates Mark and Tan.

Personal trainer Mark says he’s ready to bring his best to the competition.
‘The OGs should definitely be intimidated,’ he said in the teaser.
A highlight of the trailer shows the new teams marching into the MKR set to meet the cast, only to get a very frosty reception from the OG’s.
‘Look out, guys, it’s tougher than you think,’ Bailey tells the new teams.
‘You’ve walked into the snake pit,’ Michael tells the newcomers.
It comes after My Kitchen Rules fans have slammed Seven’s ratings hit after viewers spotted a lapse in hygiene standards in a recent episode.
The cooking show came under fire on social media after contestants Anne and Maree were seen preparing a meal with their hair down.
Fans were also worried that the mother and daughter duo were seen handling food without gloves.

‘Both ladies should tie their hair up, too risky,’ a user on a MKR Facebook thread said.
‘Basic hygiene when you’re cooking for guests, and besides, they’ll lose points if a hair is found in the food,’ another viewer added.
‘A third fan added, ‘Can’t understand why their hair is not tied up!’
The women were also questioned over the way they prepared their ‘Greek Classic’ –Chicken and Lamb Souvlakia with Pita and Tzatziki.
‘When plating up, they should be wearing gloves,’ observed a fan on the Facebook thread, while another added, ‘No tongs to serve the salad with?’
Anne and Maree were not the only MKR contestants to face criticism over hygiene with Justin and Will also receiving criticism over their efforts on Monday.
‘The boys also wore rings when kneading their dough and cooking,’ a fan said on the same thread.
Daily Mail has reached out to Channel Seven for comment.
