Stacey, 33, took over from longtime presenter Tom Allen last year when the comedian stepped down as the show’s host after three years.
Tom said of his departure at the time: ‘I’ve had the best time hosting The Professionals in Sussex with my wonderful friend Liam, but now it’s time to move on.
“Stacey Solomon, you are going to be absolutely amazing. I can’t think of anyone better to do it! It was my first job as a TV presenter in 2018…
‘It has taught me so much – thanks to the amazing team I’ve loved working with, all the incredible chefs and most importantly Benoit, Cherish and of course the brilliant Liam. Have a great run guys!! X’
