They've cooked up plenty of drama on My Kitchen Rules.
But now cousins Mel Bailey and Jacinta Radziejewski are serving up something entirely different as they strip down for a sizzling new FHM photo shoot.
The feisty duo, who rose to fame as the 'Feisty Cousins' on the Channel Seven cooking competition, posed in bikinis at Sydney's Milk Beach for FHM's Woman of the Year issue - the magazine's reimagined edition formerly known as the MAXIM Hot 100.
The inaugural cover star went to Aussie darling Margot Robbie, with Mel and Jacinta's exclusive shoot marking their glamorous FHM debut.
Dressed in Ark Swimwear, the cousins looked bronzed and glowing as they posed by the ocean.
Jacinta flaunted her toned figure in a chic teal two-piece while Mel stunned in a chocolate string bikini.

In their FHM interview, the pair shared their love of fitness, confidence and self-expression.
'Confidence is the most attractive thing that comes from looking after your body and feeling radiant,' Jacinta told FHM.
Mel added that humour and energy are her biggest assets.
When asked what they look for in a man, Mel revealed she's drawn to someone 'down-to-earth, emotionally intelligent and adventurous', while Jacinta admitted she loves 'confidence, kindness and a man who genuinely takes care of himself'.
The cousins also reflected on what they've learned about relationships. 'Treat them mean to keep them keen,' Jacinta joked. 'Confidence, a sense of fun and knowing your worth goes a long way.'
Following their MKR stint and FHM debut, the pair show no sign of slowing down. Jacinta recently launched her YouTube channel, Radiance Kitchen with Jacinta, where she shares recipes, wellness tips and lifestyle insights.
As for what's next, Mel teased more projects in the works.
'We'd definitely be open to doing something else,' she said. 'We're actually having a lot of fun with all of this.'

'This shoot was such a vibe,' Jacinta said. 'Milk Beach is one of my favourite hidden gems and it's the perfect spot to capture that mix of fun and freedom.'
Mel added: 'It's iconic to us because we love the beach - it's a place where we can just be ourselves. Shooting this with Jacinta made it even more fun because we bounce off each other's energy and don't take ourselves too seriously.'
The Sydney cousins, who became known for their cheeky banter and bold personalities on My Kitchen Rules, admit they've been misunderstood on screen.
'They painted us as being fiery, but honestly, we're just cheeky and love to have a laugh,' Mel told Daily Mail Australia earlier this year.
'That side of us didn't really get shown.'
Jacinta agreed: 'I thought people would get to see more of the fun we have together, but the edit was more about the conflict. It was definitely a surprise watching it back.'
Despite the drama, the cousins' friendship and flair for food have made them fan favourites. 'My cooking style is surprisingly healthy and creative,' Mel explained.
'It's all about bold flavours, wholesome ingredients and a bit of experimentation.'
Jacinta, who has a background in nutritional medicine, added: 'I want to encourage everyone to give cooking a go and have fun with it. It doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. It can be simple, joyful and one of the most powerful ways to care for yourself and others.'
With their infectious energy, glamorous new photo spread, and a healthy dose of cousin chemistry, Mel and Jacinta are proving they're more than just fiery foodies - they're Australia's newest dynamic duo.
The inaugural issue of FHM's 'Woman of the Year', featuring Margot Robbie on the cover and Mel and Jacinta's exclusive shoot, is in stores now.
