Well, John Torode has now been sacked too.
Who should take over?

It was an amazing reboot following Loyd. Should it be scrapped?

I actually really like Camillas son - forgotten his name 🤣
Definitely not James Martin, Jamie or a woman who's name I can't remember either 🤣 not Anna the Irish one, but not her either.
Marcus absolutely.

I like Grace Dent.

Mimosa3andmore · 15/07/2025 18:04

Si King. He's pleasant, amenable and wouldn't (hopefully) offend anyone.

xSideshowAuntSallyXx · 15/07/2025 18:05

I like Tom Parker Bowles but he's white, middle-aged and posh so won't be chosen.

William Sitwell would be another one but he's in the same group as Tom P-B.

Get rid

sunshinesunday · 15/07/2025 18:06

Monica has to stay

Absentmindedsmile · 15/07/2025 18:08

A fortuitous, coincidental opening for Nadia? The BBC do love to stick with these presenters over and over again 👀

I like Monica too but perhaps she’s too old brand. Monica and Marcus would my faves, they could be too obvious / old hat.

SwedishEdith · 15/07/2025 18:12

I think they may need to trial different presenters like HIGNFY still do. Si King is a good suggestion for the non-slick chef but I don't know if it feels too early for him to do something else like this. Matt Tebbutt is another option.

JAY!!!!!!

MrsFeljne · 15/07/2025 18:13

JAY!!!!!!

I was trying to think who Jay was and could only think of the guy sacked from The Repair Shop then. So many sackings.

UsernameTaken76 · 15/07/2025 18:16

Jay Rayner & Grace Dent would be amazing. Or Monica Galleti & Ana Haugh.

Davros · 15/07/2025 18:17

Si King and Grace Dent. It’s not fair on fans (me) to dump a programme we love because the BBC lets itself get held hostage by presenters. Regular turn over is better and boot any prima Donna’s

TheBuffetInspector · 15/07/2025 18:18

I love Monica but I think she is perfect for Masterchef The Professionals.

That said, her and Marcus are another dream team... Would they take it on?

I can't agree with William Sitwell, he was on tears when he was being judged.

I do like Grace Dent. She comes across as bring ferocious, but her bark turns in to less than a mild yap when the heat is on.

I'm still rooting for Tom Parker Bowels, not bowels. You wouldn't know his Mum is a Queen.

I want Matt Tebbutt to stay put on my Saturday mornings...

That's a good combo.

I didn’t particularly like John Torode, but will miss Greg Wallace. I like Marcus Wareing and don’t mind Monica Galetti. I don’t think I would bother to watch it if Tom Parker- Bowles or Jay Rayner took over.

I wonder what they will do about the series that has already been filmed for this year?

LindtLindor · 15/07/2025 18:20

I think William Sitwell would be seen as a loose cannon after his vegans comment a while ago. They want someone very safe.

Angela Hartnett and Si King.

DollopOfFun · 15/07/2025 18:23

Sticking with the chef/ greengrocer theme, I'd like Monica and Chris Bavin

EmptyHandles · 15/07/2025 18:25

Michel Roux Jr. Was he not sacked for advertising potatoes? Surely even the BBC can see that that's not really that bad ...

TheFlis · 15/07/2025 18:26

I love Grace Dent so absolutely her. I think the other person has to be a high end chef to make the show credible and the format work.

NooNakedJacuzziness · 15/07/2025 18:26

Mimosa3andmore · 15/07/2025 18:04

Yes, he'd be brilliant

TheBuffetInspector · 15/07/2025 18:27

I think Si and Grace would be perfect.

As would Marcus and Monica.

It was getting quite dull. I especially DG disliked the shouting through shelves as pairs yo create an identical dish. Same with cooking and presenting to John and Greg in another room whilst other contestants whooped on.
