My Kitchen Rules cook Danielle breaks down in tears as the fan favourite faces
It all ended in tears for Danielle and Marko on My Kitchen Rules on Tuesday night.
The fan-favourite pair are facing elimination after their Ultimate Instant Restaurant went awry, with the couple scoring just 62 out of 100.
The loved-up couple from Perth entered the kitchen confident to showcase a melting pot of their Asian and Serbian heritage.
The menu was ambitious and creative: Asian Scotch Fillet Taco with Slaw and Cevapi and Ajvar on Pita for entrée, mains of Slow-Roasted Lamb Shoulder with Honey-Roasted Carrots and Tzatziki and Tamarind and Chilli Lime Snapper with Cajun sauce and Sweet Potato Mash.
For dessert, they served Coconut and Lime Panna Cotta with Cookie Crumble and Hong Kong Egg Tart.
When the entrées arrived, reactions were mixed.

Judge Colin Fassnidge said the taco’s beef was ‘cooked and seasoned well’ but questioned its Asian identity, scoring a six.
Manu Feildel scored his entrée a seven, praising the flavours, but found the sausage in the Serbian dish a bit dry.
The mains fared slightly better, but the kitchen stress was getting to Danielle and Marko.
‘The Ultimate Instant Restaurant is so much harder than I thought it would be,’ Danielle admitted.
Colin praised the ‘beautifully cooked’ lamb, noting everything worked together, but the dish needed to step up a level.
Manu was impressed by the perfectly cooked fish, but the watery sweet potato mash let them down.
Dessert went downhill. The sesame brittle failed, leaving the Hong Kong Egg Tart plain.
Embarrassed, Danielle admitted: ‘I know it’s not an elevated dish for Ultimate Instant Restaurant.’

Wiping away tears, Danielle said: ‘We’re super disappointed in ourselves’
The tart scored a three from Manu, who noted: ‘The flavours were beautiful, but the tart base was undercooked.
‘There was nothing else to talk about. That was not enough, we expect more from everyone at this stage of the competition.’
Colin enjoyed the panna cotta more, scoring a seven, but it was not enough to save the sweethearts from the bottom of the leaderboard.
Wiping away tears, Danielle said: ‘We’re super disappointed in ourselves.’
Meanwhile, Logan underdogs Lol and Lil were safe from elimination, securing their place in the semi-finals.
