After 13 years and 38 editions, chef Samantha Vallejo-Nágera leaves the MasterChef jury on RTVE, replaced by the renowned gastronomic influencer Marta Sanahuja ('Delicious Martha') for the 2026 edition.

The departure of Vallejo-Nágera, an iconic figure on the show since its debut, is motivated by her desire to focus on new audiovisual initiatives and personal projects related to gastronomy and lifestyle, in addition to continuing with her hospitality businesses.
The 2026 edition of MasterChef, which has already begun filming, will feature Pepe Rodríguez, Jordi Cruz, and the new addition of 'Delicious Martha'. This choice aims to strengthen the connection between the RTVE program and the digital world and new culinary trends.

"Too happy. I join the MasterChef jury this new season."
