Karena and Kasey Bird have been crowned the winners of MasterChef.
Two sisters from Maketu have won the latest season of MasterChef - despite losing the first challenge of tonight's finale.
Kasey, 23, and Karena Bird, 25, take home $100,000 worth of prizes, including two cars, kitchen appliances, kitcheware and groceries, as well as an exclusive cookbook deal.
The duo didn't
seem to believe they'd won, with Kasey uttering, "Holey moley," while Karena burst into tears.
"I can't believe it," Karena said. "It's just been such a long journey, but it's all been worth it. I'm so proud of Kasey and the fact we got to do it together. It's the best feeling I've ever had in my life."
The siblings were hot favourites going into the finale of the long-running reality show's first ever season to feature pairs of contestants.
