Tony Singh and Julie Lin will also be returning, with Bake Off star Dr James Morton and a number of local chefs also appearing.

The festival will take place from September 12 to 18, with Matt making a dash from BBC's Saturday Kitchen studio for his festival debut. He'll be making multiple appearances, including an exclusive in conversation event, and he will lead the new Sunday Oyster Kitchen.

He said: "I'm genuinely excited to be part of Stranraer Oyster Festival. What draws me to events like this is the opportunity to celebrate truly exceptional local produce in the place where it's grown or caught.

"The story of Loch Ryan's native oysters is remarkable. You've got this incredible natural resource that's been sustainably managed for centuries, and now it's the heart of a festival that's brought a whole community together.
