MasterChef presenter John Torode has said he “loves being part of” the programme and “will continue to be a part of it” after Gregg Wallace stepped back from the show amid an investigation into allegations of inappropriate behaviour.
Australian-born Torode, who has presented the BBC One cooking show alongside Wallace since 2005, said in a statement on Instagram he found the recent reports “truly upsetting” and the “thought of anyone who has appeared on our show not having a brilliant experience is awful to hear”.
