Speculation has erupted about who will front MasterChef after the firing of Gregg Wallace and John Torode – and odds are revealing the identity of the frontrunners.
After allegations of inappropriate behaviour surfaced against Wallace in November 2024, an investigation was launched by the show’s production company Banijay UK. More than half of the 83 allegations levied against Wallace were substantiated, but the report also upheld an accusation of “offensive racist language” allegedly used by Torode. The BBC and Banijay have fired them both.
