How John Torode’s career crumbled in 24 hours: Sacked MasterChef star was ‘blindsided’ by BBC axe when claims he used ‘extremely offensive racist term’ were upheld in probe – but insiders suggest there were MORE allegations against him

John Torode’s two -year MasterChef career ended only 24 hours after being blinded by the BBC and dismissed without knowledge.

The 59 -year -old famous chef was rejected from the cookery show yesterday after a report that the host Gregg Wallace once found that he had used a ‘racist term’.

For the cute Aussie server, which has been presenting MasterChef since 2005 and awarded a MBE award for food and broadcasting services three years ago, it was a sudden decline for the Aussie server.

Moreover, Food critic Grace Dent at the weekend would be Torode’s new lasting star after Wallace was suspended and dismissed.

The couple has already been reported that a series of famous MasterChef was taken together because of the start to attract the amateur version of the show in the summer.

On Tuesday, BBC confirmed that he dismissed Torode less than a day after publishing on Instagram racist language is the subject of a claim.

He refused to remember using the term – and he said that no one can even specify the ‘history or year’ of the time when the so -called mistakes took place.

However, it is understood that Torode is the subject of multiple claims, but only one of them has been confirmed, Telegraph reported.

The 60 -year -old Wallace was dismissed by the BBC last week after the report of Lewis Silkin’s report, including one of the unwanted touches, was dismissed.

On the other hand, Torode continued to host MasterChef and recently shot a new series of his famous version of Dent, which will be released in this autumn.

However, it is thought that the series and last year’s amateur version hosted by Torode and Wallace will never see the light of the day.

He did not claim that Torode was directly dismissed by the BBC last night and that he learned after reading online instead.

According to a source Sun, he said: ‘John’s agent received a call 11 minutes before the statements came out and could not find the chance to call it.

‘He studied on the BBC News website.’

Meanwhile, Torode, on Tuesday evening Instagram’da ‘vision and read’ made a long statement made.

Even though I haven’t heard from anyone in BBC or Banijay – I see that I have been dismissed from Masterchef and I read it, and I think I repeat that I don’t remember what I blame.

“The investigation could not even specify the date or year I had said something wrong.

He continued: ‘It is really important that we take this seriously. A reset that we are sure that people follow the values we expect on the board. ‘
