Latest News About New Masterchef Judges

Direct answer: The latest widely reported updates point to Grace Dent and Anna Haugh serving as new MasterChef judges in the UK BBC version for the upcoming cycle. These names were publicly revealed in 2025 as part of a judging refresh following prior changes.

Details:

• UK MasterChef (BBC One) announced Grace Dent (food critic) and Anna Haugh (chef) as the new judging duo for the next series, replacing previous judges in that incarnation.
• There was broader context in 2025 about shifts in several MasterChef franchises around the world, including Australia and the U.S., but the specific question about “latest news” most consistently refers to the BBC UK lineup above.

If you’d like, I can pull more recent sources or specify by country (UK, Australia, U.S.) and summarize any subsequent changes or casting rumors.
