Read it was the n word, possibly a lyric from a rap song. Not sure if correct

 

[Otis]

Apparently he was repeating the lines of a Kanye West song.

I am guessing it rhymed with bigger

Hopefully not one of his more recent ones.

It mentions that Wallace is charging £200 a session for weight loss coaching. Does he recommend eating lots of free food on the telly?

 

[Grendel]

The general view is they wanted Torode out once Wallace was gone and pretty much forced it through without any right of reply

 

[shmmeee]

Sacked for singing the lyrics to Gold Digger at karaoke. That’s a joke. I hope he sues.

 

[shmmeee]

Ah that’s a bit different. Maybe lead with that BBC

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Lol he said it to a personz it’s inexcusable

 

[Grendel]

It seems a bit odd. They were trying to get him to sign a document saying he’s resigned on mental health grounds and we’re going to pay him off at first.

Why even mention the karaoke thing if not to muddy the waters? “Man sacked for calling a colleague a n****r” is headline enough.

Is this you suggesting you think it might not be true the reason that he got sacked

Think it’s one of those cases that gets ignored or at least doesn’t end in dismissal if the person involved is someone you’d rather keep.

Yes that’s what I think. Situation happens > brushed under carpet > Wallace goes and they want Torode out > bring it back up again to get rid as a last resort

Though if the two weren’t on good terms anyway I don’t know why they were seen as a ‘duo’. Wallace was just a bumbling moron there to say it was all tasty

 

[shmmeee]

Still gave us this though so not all a bust

Do loads more people watch/care about Masterchef than I thought? This has been a top story for ages now!

‘The general view’?

It makes the BBC £2 billion a year

Edit: it’s classed as one of the biggest exports and one of the biggest contributors to the export figure

Needless to say it'll probably hit the rock's or go abroad?

There’s a thing with BBC stories where the anti BBC lot over cover them and the BBC seems to feel it has to over cover them too so it’s not accused of bias (and probably because all the sources are close by).

Masterchef as a show should be fine, it's not like Top Gear where it relies on presenter personalities. Just Greggggggg shouting COR FUCKING BLIMEY YUM YUM YUM when someone makes a pea jus three ways

He does remind me of someone I used to work with,he was known as uncle fester or Homer Simpson,we used to wonder if he had any finger's left as he couldn't pass a KFC without stopping.🫣

There's a guy down here who's a DJ, who looks the spit of him.

Poor bloke.

Spectacularly wrong, it's not even a BBC production.

that's the total earnings for BBC Studios over a seven year period up to 2023/24. Crack on with the bullsh*t, though!

Report from the BBC.

I edited it strangely but I guess every article I read is wrong about it then

How much is MasterChef worth to the BBC as both hosts axed from hit show?

The show has been adapted in 65 territories worldwide, and broadcast in over 200

I was replying to your edited version. Which was still spectacularly wrong.

So they don’t make any money at all then from export rights?

Not what I said. Try again champ.

I’m just quoting the article. How much does a production company get out of interest?
