MasterChef will air for at least another four years despite the Gregg Wallace scandal, it was reported on Friday.

The BBC cooking show was recently said to have been “hanging on by a thread” amid the scandal, but Banijay, the production company behind MasterChef, has now confirmed that the show will be on the BBC for at least four more years despite the controversy.
