Not to everyone's taste

MasterChef fans are not happy with how the 2022 series has been tweaked and given a new format.

The 18th series of the BBC One cooking competition began airing last night (Wednesday March 23).

However, it seems new elements of the show are not to everyone’s taste.

But just the sight of Gordon was seemingly enough to put fans off – with some suggesting they would turn over with him on their screens.
