MasterChef has remained in the headlines after John Torode was axed, but who will replace him as host?
Yesterday (July 15), the BBC confirmed in a statement that John, 59, had been sacked after he was accused of making a racist remark at a work party seven years ago.
“John Torode denies the allegation. He has stated he has no recollection of the alleged incident and does not believe that it happened. He also says that any racial language is wholly unacceptable in any environment,” the corporation shared.
It continued: “The BBC takes this upheld finding extremely seriously. We will not tolerate racist language of any kind. And, as we have already said, we told Banijay UK, the makers of MasterChef, that action must be taken. John Torode’s contract on MasterChef will not be renewed.”
With John’s role now available, bookies have exclusively told Entertainment Daily who is in the running to replace him…
