A report in The Australian claimed that former MasterChef judges Gary Mehigan and Preston would be joining the Channel 7 cooking show in 2020, minus George Calombaris.
However, the celebrity chef dismissed the claims earlier on today.
“I can confirm that I am talking to other networks and producers about new projects for 2020 and beyond,” he told news.com.au.
“Taking over MKR as host/judge is not on the agenda! I have too much love for Manu, Colin and Pete to do that!”
“The feedback we have all received in person on our travels and online from so many of the 20 million fans around the world who loved watching the ‘three musketeers’ on TV confirms that we’d be mad not to continue making TV together overseas for the international market.
“This is something we all look forward to doing when the time is right.”
Last week, MasterChef’s three new judges were revealed to be Scottish chef Jock Zonfrillo, food writer Melissa Leong and season four MasterChef winner Andy Allen.
