New Masterchef judge revealed - and it isn’t Grace Dent
Matt Tebbutt you join Masterchef
Matt Tebbutt is joining Masterchef as a permanent replacement for Gregg Wallace.
That’s according to The Sun, which reports the Saturday Kitchen host is joining BBC One’s popular cookery competition.
A source says “Matt rose to the challenge of coming into Saturday Kitchen after it was previously hosted by another big name in the world of food, James Martin”
“He managed the feat of making it his own and almost making viewers forget who his predecessor was — now Beeb bosses, and the show producers Banijay, will be hoping he can work the same magic on MasterChef”.
“Nothing is set in stone, of course, and the result of investigations into Gregg’s behaviour have yet to fully conclude.
“But since MasterChef is such a huge show with a massive following, the Beeb are keen to have everything lined up ready.”
The next series sees Grace Dent step into the role.
