Celebrity MasterChef returns on Tuesday night with Giorgio Locatelli making his debut as the show’s new host. He steps in after John Torode is replaced following his removal from the BBC, according to the reports.
The outlets note that viewers react to the change by expressing that they still miss the previous judging team. Specifically, fans mention both Torode and Gregg Wallace while watching Locatelli’s first episode in the host role. The articles focus on audience sentiment and the transition between hosts, framed in the context of Wallace’s earlier presence as part of the series’ prior format.
While coverage centers on the change in on-screen leadership and audience reactions, both sources align on the core points: the timing of the return, Locatelli’s debut, and the link between Torode’s departure and his replacement.
