Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is confirmed as co-host of the rebooted Junior MasterChef Australia, returning to the show’s kitchen next year. Multiple outlets report she will appear alongside established judge Poh Ling Yeow.
Coverage places the announcement in a wider production context. 7News Australia says filming for the children’s cooking series is expected to take place in Melbourne next year. Other outlets focus on the confirmation of her new presenting role, with some referencing her earlier involvement with the franchise as a guest judge. Most reports treat the co-host role as the core development, rather than exploring additional personal details.
One outlet differs in emphasis by linking the story to wider controversy. The Mirror mentions an Australian report that frames her return in light of her prior guest judge appearance earlier this year, while PerthNow brings in unrelated background about her family, including claims about scrutiny around her father and allegations involving child sexual abuse material. Other outlets do not include that framing.
