BBC Shares Future Of Recorded MasterChef Series Starring Axed Hosts Gregg Wallace And John Torode
John Torode and Gregg WallaceFollowing the sacking of Masterchef hosts Gregg Wallace and John Torode, questions have swirled around what the BBC would do with a whole unaired series of the amateur cook series.Now the broadcaster has broken their silence and confirmed the fate of the pre-recorded episodes, despite the allegations of misconduct against the former presenters of the show being upheld. The BBC has confirmed that they will air the series – which had been recorded in late 2024 – next month.From August 6, the series will be shown on both BBC One and iPlayer.A spokesperson said: “After careful consideration and consultation with the contestants, we have decided to broadcast the amateur series of MasterChef.“This has not been an easy decision in the circumstances and we appreciate not everyone will agree with it. “In showing the series, which was filmed last year, it in no way diminishes our view of the seriousness of the upheld findings against both presenters. We have been very clear on the standards of behaviour that we expect of those who work at the BBC or on shows made for the BBC.“However, we believe that broadcasting this series is the right thing to do for these cooks who have given so much to the process. We want them to be properly recognised and give the audience the choice to watch the series.”On 14 July, a report upheld 45 allegations of misconduct against Gregg Wallace.He had previously announced he would be taking a leave of absence from the MasterChef franchise last year while the investigation into those allegations took place.Meanwhile, John Torode was let go from his presenting position last week after an allegation that he used “extremely racist and offensive” language was upheld by an independent investigation by the law firm Lewis Silkin.Related...Gregg Wallace Breaks Silence After More Than Half Of Masterchef Allegations UpheldGregg Wallace Is Fired From MasterChef – Here's The Full Story Of His Controversial Exit So FarHere's Who Will Be Replacing Gregg Wallace On The Next Series Of Celebrity MasterChef
