Reddy, who took part in season 2 of My Kitchen Rules SA, says the men made reference to the programme and insulted him.

He says they grabbed him by his tie causing him to pass out.

"They spat on me and swore at me while I was passed out, Kim tried to resuscitate me, but luckily she removed my tie. If Kim didn't remove my tie, I would be dead. We have reported to the police, we have opened a file in Durban North".
