Celebrity chef Tom Kerridge has sparked excitement among MasterChef fans after revealing he'd be more than happy to step into the hosting role if Gregg Wallace or John Torode ever decided to step down.
In a candid interview, the Michelin-starred chef admitted he'd relish the opportunity to take on the iconic BBC cooking show—though he doesn't believe fellow chef Andi Oliver would be the right fit for the job.
Kerridge's Take on the MasterChef Role
Kerridge, known for his appearances on shows like Great British Menu and Saturday Kitchen, didn't hold back when discussing the possibility of joining MasterChef. "I'd absolutely love to do it," he said. "It's such an incredible platform to celebrate food and talent."
However, when asked about Andi Oliver—who has previously guest-judged on the show—Kerridge was less enthusiastic. "I don't think she's the right person for it," he remarked, though he didn't elaborate further.
A Potential Shake-Up for the Show?
With Wallace and Torode having fronted the show since 2005, fans have often speculated about potential replacements. Kerridge's comments have now fuelled fresh debate about who could take over if the current hosts ever move on.
