Yes, that’s Rachel Allen of RTÉ and O’Brien’s Signature Sandwiches fame.
The Daily Mail reports that Allen was seen “laughing and joking” with production members on the street at the filming.
Joining her were Michel Roux Jr (him off Masterchef) and Frances Atkins, one of the UK’s few Michelin-starred female chefs.
Does this mean we’ll be seeing some of Allen’s signature sandwiches on the revamped show? We wait with bated breath.
