Channel 9 upfronts: Sophie Monk to host new version of Beauty and the Geek

EXCLUSIVE: Channel 7 has been ordered to pay a former contestant on My Kitchen Rules more than $22,000 a year in ongoing compensation after she was left unable to work due to “psychological injury” she suffered from her time on the show.

Ms O’Neill, 38, was memorably revealed to be having a secret relationship with rival contestant Victor Aeberli in a much-hyped “sex scandal” storyline.

The American-born model and Mrs Australia International 2015 winner was separated from her husband and father of her children Jordan Green during filming.

At the time, Ms Cristovao was highly critical of the show’s producers for hyping up the “sex scandal”, telling news.com.au’s Andrew Bucklow the revelation had been edited as if it were a bombshell but that most contestants knew about the relationship already.

The landmark ruling by the NSW Workers Compensation Commission found Nicole Prince was legally an employee of Seven, despite her contract with the network explicitly stating there was no employment relationship.

That ruling, which was first reported by the TV Blackbox website, led to speculation other former reality TV contestants could lodge similar workers compensation claims against broadcasters.
