Gregg Wallace and John Torode's final series of MasterChef is understood to air in time, despite the TV duo being axed following an investigation into misconduct allegations. Sources have claimed the BBC and Banijay UK are only willing to air the final two series featuring the presenters "when the dust settles",

The two TV chefs replacing John Torode and Gregg Wallace on MasterChef have reportedly been unveiled. It's believed Saturday Kitchen's Matt Tebbutt and Great British Menu star Andi Oliver will become the new hosts of the BBC cooking show.

John Torode has been sacked as MasterChef presenter after an allegation against him using "an extremely offensive racist term" was upheld. In an Instagram statement on Tuesday, the TV chef said he had "no recollection" of what he is accused of, and said he had hoped to have some say in his exit.
