John Torode has been fired from BBC's 'MasterChef' following an investigation that substantiated an allegation he used racist language.

Former MasterChef host John Torode has spoken out after being sacked from the BBC show following accusations that he made racist remarks. MasterChef producers Banijay UK confirmed this week that Torode's contract would not be renewed, after Torode confirmed he was the subject of an allegation of using racist language in the Gregg Wallace report.

John Torode has been sacked as MasterChef presenter after an allegation against him using "an extremely offensive racist term" was upheld. In an Instagram statement on Tuesday, the TV chef said he had "no recollection" of what he is accused of, and said he had hoped to have some say in his exit.
