“(Gianni and I) finish work pretty late so we record (MKR) and the first thing I do when we get home is put on the TV,” she said.

“It’s not hard watching it — I just laugh, I actually find it hilarious. It’s pretty entertaining and it’s very clever the way they’ve edited it. I think it makes great TV to be honest.”

Her husband and partner in the show Gianni Romano certainly agrees. And he supports his wife’s ambition to return to the TV spotlight if it comes to pass — although he insists he won’t be joining her.

“I’m very happy to go back to my stressful day job (as a lawyer),” he said.

“But I think my wife has a face for TV. She wasn’t expecting anything to come of it but she thoroughly enjoyed it and being in the limelight. I’ll keep supporting her no matter what she does.”

So will Channel Seven take advantage of the opportunity to keep the feisty cooking star on their books?

“We’re always looking for opportunities to work with our contestants once the competition has finished,” said a spokesperson for Seven.

“Zana has been a popular addition to MKR this year. If the right opportunity presented itself, we’d love to explore ways in which to continue that relationship.”
