MasterChef's Gregg Wallace confirms real reason for exit from BBC show as 'feud' wth John Torode addressed

MasterChef star Gregg Wallace has confirmed the real reason behind his decision to quit another of his popular BBC shows ahead of the much-anticipated return of the cooking competition. The TV presenter appeared on the latest episode of The One Show on Wednesday night (April 5) alongside his co-star John Torode as they chatted about the new MasterChef series.

As well as presenting and judging on Masterchef, Gregg is also known for presenting his own BBC series Inside The Factory. It saw the 58-year-old and fellow presenter Cherry Healey hit factory floors across Britain for a snoop around their supersized production lines.

However, Gregg revealed he was quitting last month. He told fans that he wanted to focus on his autistic son, Sid, who he shares with his wife Anne-Marie. Confirming his decision on The One Show, Gregg clarified that he and Anne were focusing on finding the non-verbal youngster a new school.
