Hadil’s tropical new job

- DANAELLA WIVELL

THE kitchen is hot right now for TV reality show contestant Hadil Faiza (right) who is living and working in Cairns. Hadil and her teammate Sonya Mefaddi, (left), billed as being from NSW on the show, were asked to “leave the table” during an explosive and spiteful episode of My Kitchen Rules on Wednesday night. However, Hadil’s northern beaches boss has cautioned viewers to put their knives away.

THE newest villain created by Channel 7’s My Kitchen Rules is living and working on the northern beaches of Cairns.

Beautician Hadil Faiza is billed as a NSW resident on the cooking show, but has been seen shopping at Clifton Beach and working at Trinity Beach in recent months.

Her boss at a Trinity Beach salon, who wanted to remain anonymous, told the Cairns

Post the controvers­y surroundin­g Ms Faiza’s dismissal from the table on Wednesday night’s episode was unjust.

“The way she’s been portrayed isn’t what she’s like at all,” she said. “She’s a really lovely person and she’s having a hard time with this.”

Fellow contestant­s Jess Alvial and Emma Byron, who copped most of the verbal spray from Ms Faiza and her teammate Sonya Mefaddi, have issued a statement on their joint Instagram account calling for all to be forgiven.

“Be kind and stop the hate, the horrible nasty comments towards the girls is not needed,” they wrote.
