Just that really. As it seems rather obvious he won’t be darkening the doors of MasterChef again - who would you like to see replace him (or maybe replace both him and John).

Could Nadiya Hussain eat the full range of food though?

A middle aged woman of a certain age.

It would nicely infuriate him.

That made me snort. Ironically, my first thought was Fern Britain.

I hope Masterchef doesn’t get taken off, it’s one of the only things I watch. I too like Jay Rayner or Si King, but I think they have to go with a woman really. Defo don’t want a ‘name’ from a current cooking show, they are all ‘fine’ but no one really stands out for me. I do like Lisa Allen, if not Angela Harknett - trouble is, as someone said, the great chefs will be busy cheffing, lol

Si King and Angela Hartnett please.
Marcus and Monica can stay on the professionals.

ToffeeSquirrels · 02/12/2024 22:02

Anyone

SqueegieBeckenheimer · 02/12/2024 22:02

Michel Roux Junior & Fern Britton - no idea if the chemistry would work but he always comes across as warm and obviously very knowledgeable about food and Fern has the food background.

Or... Ainsley ?? 😂

Can the collective power of Mumsnet get behind a Jay Rayner/Si King partnership?

Absolute dream team.

Novaavon · 02/12/2024 22:13

Jay Rayner and Angela Hartnett would be good but I don't think he'd do it. Si King would be lovely.

I can't bear Nadia or Grace Dent so would switch off.

And definitely not either of the Corens.

I like Grace Dent but I believe she has or has had an ED so she may not be the best option.
Si king would be good, get a Northerner in there!

What’s an ED ?

I think they will absolutely have to choose a woman so any middle aged met are out of the running even lovely northern ones.
I agree that John will / should probably go too , but whoever replaces has to be a respected chef/ foody for it to maintain credibility.
I always think Nadia’s Hussein lacks the experience and knowledge the opportunities she gets requires (but she she seems very nice).
I’d like to see Jimi Famurewa and Angela Harnet or Angelica Bell.

CrushingOnRubies · 02/12/2024 22:15

Andi Oliver

I like it when she presents Great British Menu

SabrinaThwaite · 02/12/2024 22:19

I’m not going to set an high bar - just anyone that doesn’t say the word ‘yummy’.

SaturnaliaCometh · 02/12/2024 22:25

Si King is a great idea if he'll do it.

letshavetea · 02/12/2024 22:30

I can’t see him liking working with John Torode though.

TinyMouseTheatre · 02/12/2024 22:31

What’s an ED

It's an abbreviation for Eating Disorder.

stickybear · 02/12/2024 22:37

Si King and Andi Oliver would be a great combination!

Printedword · 02/12/2024 22:51

1997 Semi Finalist and cookery writer Bee Wilson.

CurlewKate · 02/12/2024 22:52

Anna Haugh and Angela Hartnett.

Si King and Angela Hartnett please.

Actually, I find Marcus a bit annoying on the professionals series. I was surprised how harsh he was a few times I’ve watched

Cozylozy · 02/12/2024 22:54

Si King

Lwrenn · 02/12/2024 22:56

Poppy O’toole for me

FaceLikeACrackedScreen · 02/12/2024 22:56

It’s classic good cop, bad cop isn’t it @Printedword , with Greg Mastertwat sandwiched in the middle of them.

SadSandwich · 02/12/2024 22:58

With Kirsty Wark or a female greengrocer

MarvelJesus · 02/12/2024 23:00

SilverBlueRabbit · 02/12/2024 21:06

Me too.

Plus I come over all peculiar when I see him. [Middle class woman of a certain age, I am].

And he seems like a nice guy.

Same same same!

But lovely Si would never agree to send anyone home!

I’d like to see them leave just the two chefs to front The Professionals, with guest critics as required. But then change both presenters on the regular show, with Angela Hartnett, or maybe Tom Kerridge, as the chef, and Sue Perkins as the non-professional foodie - she’s a great presenter, and a keen cook and eater.

notatinydancer · 02/12/2024 23:00

Another vote for Grace Dent.

Thetheorysection · 02/12/2024 23:02

Ulrika Johnson might work.
