Yahoo Lifestyle Food Network Star Anne Burrell Breaks Her Silence On Leaving 'Worst Cooks In America'
If you've been wondering about Food Network star Anne Burrell's absence from the most recent season of Worst Cooks in America, you're not alone. She's wondering about it too.
The television personality, who has served as a fan-favorite host and mentor on the series for over a decade, has been noticeably missing from the first few episodes of season 5. Now, Burrell is breaking her silence on the subject. After a fan commented on her recent Instagram post, asking, "Why aren't you in Worst Cooks? It's not the same," and she replied, "Honestly I don’t know. 🤷🏼♀️😑❤️." TEA.
Others similarly flooded Burrell's Instagram, writing, "That is your show" and "R u still with Food Network?? U r missed very much❤️❤️."
The chef doubled down on her response. "Uuuuughhh…I know. And I don’t know. 🫤🤷🏼♀️❤️," Burrell said in one reply, before later adding, "I miss you guys!!!😊❤️😊❤️."
"Worst Cooks is NOT worst cooks without YOU," another fan chimed in. "I am just the worst!!!" Burrell jokingly shot back.
Without much of a definitive answer on the subject, fans have taken to Reddit with their own theories. "If I were Anne I wouldn’t want to be a part of the train wreck Worst Cooks has become. They need to go back to regular home cooks, not influencers," a commenter wrote in the thread.
"I just assumed she saw what the producers planned for this season & said, 'Hell, NO!' She is so lucky not to be involved this year," a fellow Redditor added. "Each contestant is trying to outdo everyone else in stupidity & to get screen time. I'm done with them."
"The fact she doesn’t know tells me they don’t want her any more? That is sad," a third person said.
While the reasoning for Burrell's departure remains unclear, it doesn't ultimately sound like it was her decision to leave—just as the latter comment suggests. And while the former host's responses were, well, a little shady, she isn't shutting the door on a return. After someone commented, "come back next season," Burrell answered: "I will SO try. 😊❤️."
