Wonder what Torode said

Inside the MasterChef crisis as Gregg Wallace, John Torode sacked

There were nine complaints against Torode, BBC learns - and show’s producers had hoped to ride out the storm.

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

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

I am guessing it rhymed with bigger

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

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

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

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

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

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).

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