Grace Dent to host Masterchef!

[Sidebeforeself]

Yay! Think she’ll be really good

Oh I LOVE Grace Dent ❤️

Brilliant choice!

I like the fact that they have chosen someone with industry knowledge and not “just” a presenter.

It'll really piss Greggggg off that she's a MC woman of a certain age too

But yes - also love her, great choice

I love Grace, she’s funny and warm and kind.

Great choice

I’m afraid I don’t agree. I think the presenter to replace Wallace should have been more of an ‘Everyman’. Someone who could ask questions that the viewer wants asking. (And I find her annoying for reasons I can’t put my finger on).

Oh, I really don’t like her.

Yeeeesss!!!!n I adore Grace Dent.

Ive read her book too and the love for her family is quite moving. I doubt she’d describe herself as MC though! She’s very proud of her roots

Fair point !

Yay!!!

Ha!! It will indeed.

I really like her but she has publicly said she has or has previously had an ED, I think its why she left The Jungle in IA Celebrity so I hope its the right thing for her.

That's good. She will actually be able to give constructive criticism, too.

With any luck, she'll teach John how to pronounce "turmeric".

I'm not one bit surprised and predicted it would be her, although I'm not a huge fan of hers, I think she's an excellent choice and will be great!

I also think excellent choice and she will be brilliant. She’s different. Her facial expressions crack me up and keep me watching her when she’s on.

defintely a good decision and a step up from gregg.

I reckon torode will be pissed though, he’d have been angling to make it a husband and wife job.

i think they should replace him too. That sy guy from hairy bikers, would be awesome. I get he’s not a chef though I don’t think. Or Hugh Fernly whittensomething.

I love Grace, so it's a good choice. Just the celeb version announced atm.

Hurrah! Great choice. I like Grace.

I see they've chosen a woman but won't Grace just upset people in a different way in that she can be quite rude and blunt

I don't find her a particularly warm person but I'd like to be proved wrong

I think they've already filmed the non-celeb version with Greggggg? I heard something to the effect that they could edit him out, but I really don't see how that could work as it would appear that John and the contestants were talking to themselves.

It’s for new series’s not ones already filmed.

Great choice.

Good. It needed a refresh anyway. Too many years of Greg and John.
DS and DH watch it, but I find it too stressful. I think they have almost lost interest in it now too, its been on for ever (so it feels).

Love Grace! I had been bored of Gregg for a while now anyway, so had been hoping for a refresh. They should shuffle Torode on to new opportunities too. Surely not possible that he worked that closely for so many years without knowing something was up. They did a total presenter change on Australian Masterchef, when one of the was caught underpaying employees, and it really freshened things up.
