John Torode breaks silence on Gregg Wallace hours after BBC axes Masterchef Christmas special
MasterChef co-host John Torode has said allegations surrounding Gregg Wallace are ‘truly upsetting’ as he addressed the reports of on-set misconduct for the first time.
The Australian TV host, who has presented the show alongside Wallace since 2005, said he “loves being part of” the programme and “will continue to be a part of it” after his long-time co-host stepped back amid an investigation into his behaviour.
Torode, who was best man at Wallace’s wedding in 2016, said in a statement on Instagram he found the recent reports “truly upsetting” and the “thought of anyone who has appeared on our show not having a brilliant experience is awful to hear”.
