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).

John Barrowman

He and Greggggg could compare their penis based TV antics - so that’s a no.

I used to really like Kate Botley but she was on a show with Si and Dave (or it may have been James martin) and was just so shouty and non-stop talky that it out me right off.

I think a previous winner would be a great choice. They could then have a professionals winner presenting on that programme, and a regular masterchef winner on the regular and celebrity versions of Masterchef.

Failing the above, I think Andi Oliver would be a great choice.

I’d love it if Monica Gelletti left - I know she’s talented, but I really can’t stand her and don’t anyone in real life who likes her either, I only see the love for her online.

The bloke with the moustache from Rivals. For no other reason than he is 🔥.

I also like Nadiya, but unless they adapt the programme slightly I don’t think they would be able to have her judging the food on account of following a halal diet.

Maybe they could ask that no one uses pork or cooks with alcohol, and only uses halal meat, but I see this as unlikely to happen. Nadiya could of course not taste the dishes that would be haram for her, and just feedback on the appearance, but this would represent equal judging for all contestants.

I'm not sure Si King has the necessary sharp edge you need to be able to tell someone their dish is truly awful.

JellyTotsAreYum · 04/12/2024 20:52

I think John Torode should go too. Raymond Blanc used to do a program and often featured one of his chefs - Adam (Johnson)?. So someone new in one sense, but has some TV experience. A lot of the well known chefs are probably too busy. No to Kirsty Walk, Grace Dent, Nadiya Hussain, Kirstie Allsop. Fern Britton or Andi Oliver are good suggestions.

On the Professionals keep Marcus (although I preferred Michel Roux) & Monica - I don't think they even need a "Gregg" there, but if they decide they do then Jay Rayner as a food critic would fit the "professional" slant of the show.

Davros · 04/12/2024 23:23

I think Michel Roux left because he was too busy but, now that The Gavroche has closed, maybe he's got time?
Please not Nadiya, Andi O, Tom K, we see them too much already.

GrandTheftWalrus · 04/12/2024 23:28

They need to change the presenters and the whole format. It's so fucking boring having the same thing over and over. Have it more like the international masterchefs with mystery boxes, eliminations etc. Guest chefs as well.

Thevelvelletes · 04/12/2024 23:45

Not Tom kerridge he's the epitomy of boring.

I saw that! The Christmas one, something like twelve guests of Christmas? Put me right off her!

I think he started advertising potatoes and was taken off the program.

Davros · 05/12/2024 09:56

@BigFatLiar oh yes, I forgot potatogate

PigglyWigglyOhYeah · 05/12/2024 09:56

Si King and/or Jay Raynor for me.

ItsADampColdNight · 05/12/2024 10:00

Definitely should get rid of both gregg and john imo.

John torode has claimed he knew nothing about it blah blah. I don't buy it at all.

Andi Oliver and Angela Hartnett would be great.

Deathraystare · 05/12/2024 11:48

I like Monica - I loved the series where she went to France - I think Norther France?

Onceachunkymonkey · 05/12/2024 11:56

Grace dent and si king for me, they’d be a fab double act. Grace dent is very watchable as she’s a bit out there, and si is very down to earth. They’d be comedy gold.

Onceachunkymonkey · 05/12/2024 11:57

John and Lisa will be making a play for it, but I really hope they don’t do that, they are dull as dishwater together,

Yes I like Monica too and loved that series!

loveyouradvice · 05/12/2024 12:25

Sue perkins and grace dent would be the dream team for me!

Feelingstrange2 · 05/12/2024 12:30

Kate Austen!

Crumpledpapers765 · 05/12/2024 12:51

There’s a nice young man who cooks in a greenhouse on Instagram who does a bit of TV work. I think he’d be refreshing!

Laska2Meryls · 05/12/2024 12:56

Jimi Famurewa, I think he'd be perfect .. he knows his stuff and comes over as really nice and approachable in the critics rounds .
