Snoop Dogg has shown interest in becoming the next host of the popular UK cooking off-master competition MasterChef.
The spot for co-host became vacant last week when the longtime co-host of the show Gregg Wallace decided to quit after facing some allegations of sexual misconduct on the sets. Speculation floats about the possible names that might replace Wallace, and guess what; Snoop Dogg has come into the mix.
Speaking to the Mirror, the rap legend said all his inquiries: “You better believe Snoop could be the new MasterChef judge.”
Snoop cited as the reason for his credentials in the culinary world his friendship with celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay a judge in the American show. “He knows I am not playing when it comes to food. He knows I can cook – I’ve even given him some tips,” Snoop said.
The rapper had previously paired with Martha Stewart in hosting a cooking show known as Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party. He was also quick to show interest for a stint in a British show: “I love the place – and for real this might be a perfect opportunity,”.
Whether Snoop’s zeal for cooking and charisma is enough for him to get a coveted spot on MasterChef UK remains to see. However, fans are already buzzing about the prospect of seeing him in the chair.
