Chef Anna Haugh will join the presenting line-up for BBC One\u2019s MasterChef: The Professionals next series following Monica Galetti\u2019s exit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Haugh will join fellow judges and presenters Marcus Wareing and Gregg Wallace, bringing \u201ca wealth of culinary expertise and experience to the competition,\u201d according to MasterChef Executive Editor, David Ambler.<\/p>\n

Fans of BBC One\u2019s Morning Live will recognise Haugh for her regular appearances during cooking segments, and she\u2019s also a regular guest chef on Saturday Kitchen.<\/p>

Haugh was also previously one of the main chefs on BBC\u2019s Ready Steady Cook, and took part in the second season of Snackmasters on Channel 4, and in the BBC\u2019s Royal Recipes.<\/p>\n

Monica Galetti had been part of the judging team since joining the show for its second season in 2009, originally starring with long-time colleague Michel Roux Jr, before appearing alongside Wallace and Wareing in recent years.<\/p>\n

Haugh, the chef patron of Myrtle Restaurant in Chelsea, paid tribute to her predecessor Galetti in a statement.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>MasterChef\u00a0<\/span>has an impeccable reputation and legacy within the hospitality industry. I\u00a0have long-admired Monica\u00a0as an incredible chef and\u00a0she\u2019s paved the way for female chefs. It\u2019s a privilege to be keeping her seat warm\u00a0in the\u00a0<\/span>MasterChef\u00a0<\/span>kitchen,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n
