Completing the panel is Viveka Alvestrand, who founded the £5,000 literary award in memory of her son, and Simon Johnson, Director of Amazon EU Books.
Commenting on her new role, Angellica Bell said: “Encouraging children to read is vital to give them the best start and I wish I had read more as a child, hence why I jumped at the chance to be a judge for this year's Oscar’s Book Prize. I’m looking forward to joining the panel and reading the amazing entries.”
Bell won the 2017 series of Celebrity Masterchef and in 2019 published her first cookery book aimed at children titled, Fantastic Eats and How to Cook Them!
