MasterChef: The Professionals is a BBC television competitive cooking show which aired on BBC Two from 2008 to 2019, and on BBC One since 2020. It is a spin-off from the main MasterChef series, for professional working chefs. Introduced in 2008, Gregg Wallace and India Fisher reprised their roles as co-judge and voiceover respectively. Michel Roux Jr., a two-Michelin-star chef was a judge, assisted, from 2009, by his sous-chef Monica Galetti. Since 2011 Sean Pertwee has held the voiceover role.
In 2014, Roux Jr left the show due to "a conflict in commercial interests".[1] Marcus Wareing replaced him.[2] In 2022, Galetti announced that she was leaving the show; she was replaced as a judge by Anna Haugh for the 2022 (Series 15) season.[3] On 23 March 2023, it was announced by Galetti on Instagram that she would be returning to the show as a judge for the sixteenth series, and she did so when it was broadcast from 23 October 2023 onwards.[4]
