Gregg Wallace's replacement on MasterChef is reportedly set to be announced in a matter of days with a former I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! set to take the spot
I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Grace Dent will reportedly be announced as Gregg Wallace 's replacement on MasterChef in a matter of days. The former presenter and judge stepped away from the BBC cookery show after a string of women came forward to make claims about him.
Despite this, he's reportedly set to be replaced on the show by food critic Grace Dent. The 51 year old has a plethora of experience under her belt, having written about food for years - she's also appeared on MasterChef regularly as a critic, with stints on mainstream TV on Strictly Come Dancing and I'm A Celeb, reports the Mirror.
A source told the publication: "Grace is the perfect choice to replace Gregg on Masterchef." They continued: "She's knowledgeable about food and opinionated, plus it's great to have a woman as a judge on the show. It will shake things up and give the series the boost it needs after such an upsetting and uncertain time."
