New MasterChef host Grace Dent has given her verdict on the show’s two outgoing presenters, John Torode and Gregg Wallace, both of whom were sacked from the series following investigations into their behaviour.
On Monday (17 November), Dent co-presents the new series of Celebrity MasterChef with Torode. The series, however, was filmed prior to Torode’s sacking, after a complaint that he had used “an extremely offensive racist term” during production was upheld – though Torode himself has said he has “no recollection” of using the term.
