She was a judge on the BBC series from 2009 to 2022.
TV chef Monica Galetti says she had to step back from MasterChef for her own mental health.
The 46-year-old says something had to give, admitting she couldn't manage the balance between working on the show, running her restaurant and finding time for family.
She announced her departure in April and will be replaced by Irish chef Anna Haugh (Pron: Haw) in the next series.
