Initially both Gregg Wallace and Healey visited the factories together, but since the Christmas special of 2017, each of the three presenters are in separate locations, forming different segments of the programme.
Wallace, who presented the programme from its first episode, announced in 2023 that he was leaving the programme, with his last episode airing as the eighth series finale in 2024.
On 22 August 2023, it was announced that Paddy McGuinness had been selected to be the new presenter on Inside the Factory, replacing Wallace in the upcoming ninth series airing in 2024.
