The new presenters (judges) of MasterChef differ based on the version and country of the show. For the American version of MasterChef in its 15th season (2025), Tiffany Derry has replaced Aarón Sánchez as a judge alongside returning judges Gordon Ramsay and Joe Bastianich. This season features a new theme and format where contestants compete in pairs.
For the UK's MasterChef (amateur version) on BBC, the long-standing presenters Gregg Wallace and John Torode were replaced following investigations into their conduct. The BBC appointed Grace Dent, a food critic and journalist, and Anna Haugh, a chef and previous MasterChef judge, as the new all-female presenting team for the upcoming 22nd series and beyond. Grace Dent has been involved with MasterChef for over ten years, and Anna Haugh has judged MasterChef: Professionals and is known in the culinary community. This change marks the first time any MasterChef version has been fronted by an all-female team.
