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 competition series, which was instead led by chefs Jeff Mauro and Antonia Lofaso.
Neither Burrell nor the network publicly addressed 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.
Burrell unexpectedly died at her home in Brooklyn, NY, Tuesday morning. She was 55 years old.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
