A recent MasterChef contestant has claimed the BBC offered her the “solution” of being edited out of the show after telling producers that she did not want the programme to be broadcast following allegations against presenters John Torode and Gregg Wallace.
Sarah Shafi, who filmed for the cookery show last year, appeared on Newsnight on Thursday (31 July) where she said that she felt like she was “pressured” to say yes during a “heated conversation”.
