Gregg Wallace‘s MasterChef co-host John Torode will not have his contract renewed after having a complaint against him upheld for racist language.
The BBC and producer Banijay have just revealed that Torode will leave the series at the end of his contract following the report conducted into Wallace’s behavior by law firm Lewis Silkin.
“The BBC takes this upheld finding extremely seriously,” said a BBC spokesperson. “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.”
