MasterChef presenter John Torode has been sacked by the BBC following his use of an “extremely offensive racist term” during an incident he says occurred “sometime between 2018 or 2019”.
But it’s not the first time the BBC presenter has been accused of cultural insensitivity. In fact, around the same time as the racism incident, Torode was battling separate accusations of cultural insensitivity after an on-air scandal that led the Malaysian Prime Minister to get involved.
