The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, will return to Australia to be a host on Junior MasterChef Australia.
In a statement, Ms Markle, who is married to Prince Harry, said she was thrilled to return to the cooking show's team, after joining as a guest judge on MasterChef Australia in April this year during the couple's visit.
"When they approached me to come back and work with this young group of talent, it was an easy yes," she said.
"I love cooking with my own kids, so seeing what these young stars create in the kitchen is going to be a lot of fun."

A Network 10 spokesperson said the junior version of the program is returning after a six-year hiatus, and Ms Markle will judge the program alongside Poh Ling Yeow.
"I had a lovely time filming with Meghan earlier this year, and being reunited will be a real treat," Ms Ling Yeow said.
"I can't wait to meet our pint-sized culinary adventurers — I'm expecting plenty of delicious surprises and a little mischief, too."

In August, the couple relocated back to the UK after living in the US for six years.
They gave up their royal duties at the start of 2020 and moved to the exclusive seaside area of Montecito, near Santa Barbara, as relations with the royal family soured.
Filming will take place at the MasterChef Australia Kitchen in Melbourne for a few weeks in 2027.
