Brand new MasterChef judge Anna Haugh told Alison Curtis on Weekend Breakfast how she is so buzzing after a big week at the helm of one of the BBC's biggest shows!! She explains why talking “in civilian clothes” can feel more nerve‑wracking than being in chef mode! When she is filming she is in the zone!

Anna tells us about her fabulous London restaurant that has an Irish twist! She's a BIG fan of TK Red Lemonade and boxty!

She also talks reimagining old Irish recipes (and famine-era ingredients), life skills in the kitchen with her little lad, what working for Gordon Ramsay really taught her, is The Bear realistic? and why she’s so proud to be from Tallaght.

Masterchef continues on Tuesday this week on BBC 1 at 9pm
