Just seen this on facebook - may be nonsense of course as some facebook entries often are:

NEW! 📣 Portrait Artist of the Year is coming back to Sky Arts for its 13th series with a big change.
For the first time, the show welcomes a brand new judging panel.
Host Stephen Mangan returns, joined by portrait painter Jonathan Yeo, Frieze London director Eva Langret and art historian and broadcaster Katy Hessel.
Filming takes place this spring in London, with a new group of sitters still to be revealed, as the much-loved show enters a fresh new chapter later this year.

Just found it on some other sites too - so probably true!

Eva Langret is a judge on the current landscape artist series instead of the blonde girl. She talks a bit too much for my liking but I suppose it is asked of her. I much prefer the portrait version.

I rather like Eva Langret - I feel she knows what she is talking about and she is warm and friendly.

I like Eva Langret on LAOTY too.

Yeo's portraits to enjoy.
