Presenter of MasterChef on BBC One, John Torode, said: “I have always loved being on the show and am really excited to be part of the new Saturday Kitchen family.”
James Martin has hosted the show since 2006, after replacing Anthony Warall Thompson. James' last show will be Saturday, 26 March.
Former model and television cook, Lorraine Pascale said: “I am so excited to be hosting Saturday Kitchen. I will miss sitting at home on the sofa in my pyjamas watching James Martin, but so happy to be a part of the next chapter of this quintessential cookery show."

Viewers will also have the chance to vote for James' food heaven or food hell - a regular item on the show normally directed at the main guest - in which James will be cooking with either his favourite ingredient, butter, or least favourite, horseradish.
James will continue to host 'Saturday Kitchen Best Bites' on BBC Two Sunday mornings.
