Burrell

Anne Burrell, host of Food Network’s “Worst Cooks in America,” has died.

“Anne was a beloved wife, sister, daughter, stepmother and friend — her smile lit up every room she entered,” Burrell’s family said in a statement.

During her time on Food Network, Burrell was best known for her Italian cuisine and competitive fire.

Burrell had been a steady presence on the network, competing in “The Next Iron Chef,” “Chopped,” “Guy’s Grocery Games” and “Beat Bobby Flay.”

Anne Burrell, the exuberant Food Network host whose infectious energy and signature spiked platinum hair made her a standout in food television, died Tuesday at her home in Brooklyn, according to a report from People Magazine.
