Tensions came to a head during Monday night’s heated episode of My Kitchen Rules, after Christian asked fellow contestant Brigita a very blunt question.
As the contestants gathered round the dinner table Christian, 34, boldly said he had to discuss ‘the elephant in the room that needs addressing’.
‘Are you pregnant,’ Christian asked Brigita.
His personal question left the fellow contestants and judges Manu Feildel and Colin Fassnidge in shock as they all expressed their disbelief he would ask such a thing.
‘Are you calling me fat?’ a defiant Brigita shot back.

However, Brigita and her sister Patricija then confirmed she was indeed pregnant, bringing the tensions in the room down.
‘Yes, I’m a big elephant – a six-month-pregnant elephant,’ Brigita said while her sister Patricija added: ‘First team of three! Whoo!’
Christian later admitted he took a ‘big risk’ asking the personal question and it easily could have backfired on him if he was wrong.

It is generally considered a social faux pas to ask a woman if she is pregnant, as it is seen as a personal question which makes assumptions about her appearance.
The new season of Channel Seven’s My Kitchen Rules launched earlier this month and judge Colin Fassnidge has promised viewers they are in for quite a ride.
‘We’ve had MKR in the past, but now we’ve got MKR on steroids,’ he told Yahoo LIfestyle.

The 49-year-old celebrity chef added that fans can expect a ‘little bit of drama’, after last year’s low key competition.
‘It’s one of the best years actually,’ he continued. ‘We’ve gone from quiet to not quiet, people on steroids, a great mix of people.’
For most of its history, MKR was known for the infighting among the contestants, and no season would be complete without a handful of outrageous ‘villains’.
