Meghan to co-host Junior MasterChef Australia

The Duchess of Sussex has been confirmed as a co-host of the new season of Junior MasterChef Australia.

Meghan will join the 2027 series as a "special guest" with fellow host Poh Ling Yeow, according to Australia's Channel 10.

The duchess said she "can't wait" to take part in the programme after an appearance as a guest judge on MasterChef Australia last year. It was the show's largest Sunday audience since 2023, according to the statement from Paramount ANZ.

The announcement comes as Meghan faces increased scrutiny due to her father Thomas Markle being accused of child sexual abuse. He denies the allegations.

The BBC understands Meghan broke contact with her father last year, telling him she and authorities knew he had abused young girls.

Markle has strongly rejected the accusations as "lies" which are being used to destroy his reputation.

Will the public change its mind about Meghan?

Meghan's return to Australia follows a four-day tour of the country she and Prince Harry undertook in April.
