A pair of My Kitchen Rules contestants who were facing child abuse and torture-related charges in Queensland, can now be named.
The reality TV stars Claudean Uamaki-Mu and Anthony Mu dubbed themselves the “married battlers” during their season of the Channel 7 cooking show.
Hear more from today’s headlines on The Briefing podcast:
The My Kitchen Rules couple was slapped with dozens of charges as the series aired in 2023.
There were 12 charges, including rape, which Uamaki-Mu is yet to stand trial for, while others including a torture charge have since been dropped.
Yesterday, a suppression order was lifted, which had previously kept the media from reporting the pair’s identities.
It came after Uamaki-Mu pled guilty to six historical common assault offences, relating to kicking, hitting and spitting on a child.
A number of serious charges against Anthony Mu have also been dropped. However, he’ll be sentenced for eleven summary offences next month.
