Anne Burrell was noticeably missing from her longstanding role on “Worst Cooks in America” months before her shocking death.
Fans were baffled by the Food Network star’s absence from the celebrity edition of the culinary competition series, which was instead led by chefs Jeff Mauro and Antonia Lofaso.
Neither Burrell nor the network gave an explanation for her absence from Season 28 of the show. Food Network did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment on the matter Tuesday.

Fans questioned her absence from Season 28 of the culinary competition show in January.
In January, confused viewers flocked to the comments of one of Burrell’s Instagram posts to question her unexplained absence.
“Why aren’t you in Worst Cooks? It’s not the same,” one fan wrote at the time, with Burrell cryptically responding, “Honestly I don’t know. 🤷🏼♀️😑❤️.”
“Hi Anne, r u still with Food Network?? U r missed very much❤️❤️,” another follower shared, to which she replied, “I miss you guys!!!😊❤️😊❤️.”
When another fan requested that she “come back next season,” the TV personality replied, “I will SO try. 😊❤️.”
Burrell co-hosted and served as a mentor on the popular cooking series from 2010 to 2024.
