Gordon Ramsay is bringing MasterChef Junior back for season 9. The celebrity chef brought back Kitchen Nightmares season 8 to pair with Hell's Kitchen season 22 this fall, and soon he'll have Next Level Chef season 3 in the spring. Over the summer, fans dined on MasterChef season 13 and Gordon Ramsay's Food Stars.
In this season of MasterChef Junior, Ramsay will be joined at the judges' table by his daughter, Tilly, who can be seen on both her own social media as well as her father's accounts, so she's no stranger to the spotlight.
"Blending fun, fast-paced competition with Gordon's undeniable soft spot for kids, MasterChef Junior returns with a terrific new crop of young chefs ready to thrive under his invaluable mentorship," Allison Wallach, president, Unscripted Programming, of Fox Entertainment, said in a press release. "And new this season, Gordon’s talented daughter, Tilly, joins him on the judging panel, alongside the amazing Aarón Sánchez and Daphne Oz. Everyone at Fox and our terrific partners at Endemol Shine North America are delighted to welcome Tilly to the MasterChef Junior family!"
