James Kavanagh and William Murray make it to the FINAL in RTÉ’s Taste Of Success

The pair's food company Currabinny has boomed over the last year

Snapchat star James Kavanagh and boyfriend William Murray have made it through to the final round in RTE’s Taste Of Success, with their delicious pecan and white chocolate banana loaf.

The hit cooking competition brings together a host of innovative chefs and food enthusiasts to compete for a huge cash prize of €100,000, and their product to hit shelves in over 140 Lidl stores around Ireland.

Despite James admitting that he and William had a few “spats” while working together, the duo will be competing against Michele Kilkenny with her Paddy Pie in the final.

The couple are the minds behind Currabinny, a company that grew from their obsession with food and transformed it into a career.

William, a Cork native who grew up near the Currabinny woods, trained at the Ballymaloe Cookery School in Co. Cork and is often seen on his partner’s social media creating some new tasty dish.

James, best known for his gas antics and scaring his boyfriend on Snapchat, takes charge in the marketing and promotions side of the business having worked in public relations before.

Booted out of the top three was Nikki Cogley, who’s inside out cheeseburger let her down in the end – but her mentor Roz Purcell rushed to her side to soften the blow.

“I really didn’t think that was going to happen,” Roz told Nikki outside the judge’s houses.

The final show of the Taste Of Success airs next Tuesday December 13th on RTE 1 from 8.30pm.
