Carlisle’s Grace Dent will replace Gregg Wallace on the next series of Celebrity MasterChef.
The restaurant critic – who has appeared on the show as a judge – will appear with John Torode.
Wallace has stepped away from the series after he was accused of sexual misconduct and an ongoing review.
Dent, 51, was born and brought up in Carlisle.
She appeared on I’m A Celebrity….Get Me Out Of Here! in 2023 but left the show early on medical grounds.
