Grace Dent Replaces Gregg Wallace on Celebrity MasterChef

The BBC names the Guardian food critic as the new co-host following Wallace's departure amid misconduct allegations.

Gregg Wallace stepped down from Celebrity MasterChef after 20 years, following allegations of inappropriate behavior, which he denies.
Grace Dent, a Guardian restaurant critic and frequent MasterChef guest, will co-host the 20th season alongside John Torode in 2025.
Dent is known for her sharp wit, culinary expertise, and a career spanning journalism, podcasting, and appearances on TV, including I’m a Celebrity.
The BBC pulled two MasterChef Christmas specials from its schedule following the controversy surrounding Wallace.
Dent expressed excitement about her new role, calling it a lifelong dream and an opportunity to champion culinary talent.
