John Torode to Continue on MasterChef Amid Controversy

John Torode, the Australian-born chef and long-time presenter of the BBC One cooking show MasterChef, has announced his intention to continue his role on the program despite recent controversy surrounding his co-presenter, Gregg Wallace. The decision comes after Wallace stepped back from the show following allegations of inappropriate behavior.

In an Instagram post, Torode expressed his love for MasterChef and his commitment to the show, stating, `I love my job, and I love MasterChef. I love being part of it and will continue to be part of it.` He also acknowledged the ongoing investigation into the allegations and emphasized his support for it, though he chose not to comment further on the matter.

The BBC has announced that two MasterChef celebrity Christmas specials have been pulled from their festive schedule due to the ongoing controversy. However, the current series of MasterChef: The Professionals remains on air. Banijay UK, the production company behind MasterChef, has initiated an external review to investigate the allegations against Wallace.

Torode's statement reflects his dedication to the show and its contestants, highlighting the positive impact MasterChef has on those participating. Despite the challenging circumstances, Torode's commitment to MasterChef remains unwavering.
