Meghan Markle will appear as a special judge on "MasterChef Australia" on October 19, but viewers must search for the U&W channel via Freeview Channel 25 or UKTV's streaming service to watch her. The appearance is part of an effort by UKTV bosses to boost ratings; however, it is not a high-profile return as initially expected. Meghan filmed the episode in April during a visit to Australia and interacted with regular judges Poh Ling Yeow, Sofia Levin, and Jean-Christophe Novelli, while Prince Harry participated via video call without prior knowledge of her filming.

Story summary
The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, is set to make a rare appearance on British television later this month on October 19. However, her return isn't as prominent as one might expect; she will appear as a special judge on MasterChef Australia on the obscure channel U&W which can be found on Freeview Channel 25 or through their streaming service. This appearance contrasts sharply with mainstream networks like Netflix and the BBC, showcasing older content alongside her segment, such as reruns of The Bill, a defunct police soap opera from two decades ago, and other shows like 999 Rescue Squad and Inside The Operating Theatre. Despite this, UKTV hopes that Meghan's presence will help boost ratings for their channel.
