The Duchess of Sussex will be a guest judge on MasterChef Australia this Sunday.

Meghan will appear on the 18th season of the cooking challenge show during her visit to Australia with Harry.

She will mentor and guide the cooks alongside regular MasterChef Australia judges Poh Ling Yeow, Sofia Levin and Jean-Christophe Novelli.

The programme premieres on 10 And 10 Streaming in Australia on Sunday April 19.

Meghan is on her first Australian visit since 2018.

The new season of MasterChef Australia features some of the “most impressive amateur cooks the competition has ever seen”, according to a media alert from the Sussexes.

Previous seasons of the Australian show have been aired on Channel 4 in the UK.

Former guest judges on the show include British celebrity chefs Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver, with Rick Stein due to be a guest judge later in the new season.

In preview footage shared on Australia media, Meghan hugs her fellow judges before waving to the contestants and saying: “Hi everybody.”

The duchess has her own food line, including jams, cookie mixes and herbal teas as part of her lifestyle brand As Ever.
