John Torode takes aim at BBC after being sacked from MasterChef
John Torode has claimed that he didn't hear from anyone at the BBC before the news broke that he was sacked from MasterChef. The chef and presenter of the cooking show was let go from the show following an allegation that he made a racist remark 'sometime in 2018 or 2019.' His sacking came only days after an investigation upheld over 40 complaints of professional misconduct against his co-host Greg Wallace, who was also sacked. After confirming that he was one of two individuals under an investigation where an allegation against him was upheld on Monday (July 14), John took to Instagram to say that his upcoming MasterChef special, which was already filmed, will be his last — but took aim at the BBC, saying that he hasn't heard from them or Banijay, who produce MasterChef, prior to news of his dismissal. John Torode has said that he didn't hear from anyone at BBC before news broke that he was sacked from MasterChef. Pic: Kirsty O'Connor – Pool/Getty Images 'Although I haven't heard from anyone at the BBC or Banijay, I am seeing and reading that I've been 'sacked' from MasterChef and I repeat that I have no recollection of what I'm accused of,' John wrote on his Instagram. 'The enquiry couldn't even state the date or year of when I am meant to have said something wrong.' Despite John saying that he would have hoped to have 'some say' in his departure, he admitted that he was weighing his options surrounding his future prior to the investigation's outcome, saying 'Over the past few months I have been considering my life and the shape of it now and in the future. 'Celebrity MasterChef, which I recently filmed with Grace Dent along with two fantastic Christmas specials, will be my last,' he confirmed. 'Personally I have loved every minute working on MasterChef, but it's time to pass the cutlery to someone else. For whoever takes over, love it as I have.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by John Torode (@johntorodecooks) 'I will watch on from afar as I now focus on the many other exciting projects that I have been working towards. My tummy will be grateful for a rest after 20 years of eating, but what a joy it has been,' he continued. 'Life is ever changing and ever moving and sometimes personal happiness and fulfilment lay elsewhere. Thank you for many years of MasterChef.' John's axing from the show comes a day after he released a statement confirming he was one of the two individuals with whom an allegation had been upheld. He said: 'For the sake of transparency I confirm that I am the individual who is alleged to have used racial language on one occasion. The allegation is that I did so sometime in 2018 or 2019, in a social situation, and that the person I was speaking with did not believe that it was in a malicious way and that I apologised immediately afterwards.' John was sacked from MasterChef on Tuesday afternoon, just a day after his former co-host Greg Wallace was also sacked after over 40 complaints against him were upheld. Pic: DaveJohn added that he had 'absolutely no recollection' and did not believe the incident occurred. 'I want to be clear that I've always had the view that any racial language is wholly unacceptable in any environment,' he said, 'I'm shocked and saddened by the allegation as I would never wish to cause anyone any offence.' Despite claiming he had no recollection of the incident, the BBC on Tuesday afternoon confirmed the chef would not be returning to his position on the show. John departs the show only days after his co-host Greg Wallace, who was axed following a nine-month investigation into a number of allegations regarding his behaviour on the show.

Huge ITV drama ‘facing axe' dealt fresh blow as creator quits after he's slammed for woke storylines
DESPITE gaining a huge following since its launch a decade ago, cold case series Unforgotten feels to some fans as if it is losing its way a little. First, lead 4 ITV drama Unforgotten has been dealt another fresh blow after Nicola Walker, pictured, was replaced in 2023 Credit: Rex 4 Chris Lang, the writer behind the ITV thriller, wants to quit the series after next year's run Credit: Alamy Now Chris Lang, the brains behind the ITV thriller, says he wants to quit as writer after next year's run. He said: 'I'll probably hand on the baton after this series. I'll still be involved, but I've written 42 episodes and don't want to repeat myself.' In an interview with the Royal Television Society, Chris added: 'I wouldn't write it if I didn't have something to say about the state of the nation. 'Because Unforgotten has an inherent and robust structure, that allows me space to hold up a mirror to British society — it's a Trojan horse show.' READ MORE TV NEWS But the show, which also stars Sanjeev Bhaskar as DI Sunil Khan, has been slammed by some viewers for those 'Trojan horse' storylines that deal with themes including immigration , racism and the Covid crisis. Taking to X, one remarked: 'I reckon one more series and this show will get mothballed or even fully axed. Unfortunately this one is a real box-ticking leftie crowd-pleaser.' Another posted: 'The woke mind virus has even taken hold of #Unforgotten' Another added: '#Unforgotten is forgettable. Another drama has gone woke.' Most read in News TV A fourth said: '#itv how many woke boxes did you tick in that first episode? Lecturing your audience is so tedious.' Yet another stated: 'Given up on this load of woke garbage, supposed to be entertainment not propaganda.' Unforgotten star reveals surprise real-life family link to storyline - as hit ITV crime drama returns The first episode of last series, which aired in February, peaked at 7.4million viewers, making it the second highest-performing drama of last year. Chris also said that many viewers still hadn't forgiven the show for losing Nicola, who played DCI Cassie Stuart and replacing her with Sinead Keenan as new department chief, DCI Jessica James. He recalled how he was with his wife on holiday last year and met some American fans who were initially thrilled to discover Chris had written the show. But he said: 'The mood suddenly soured. One of the women went full Kathy Bates and said, 'You killed Nicola Walker!'. Here's hoping he hasn't killed off the whole show, too. WOULD I FLY TO YOU? 4 Rob Brydon IN Destination X, the BBC's new challenge show Credit: BBC HERE'S the first look at Rob Brydon as he launches Destination X, the BBC's brilliant new challenge show. Smartly dressed as a pilot, the Would I Lie To You? host can be seen getting the first nail-biting trial under way in the series that is part Traitors and part Race Across The World. And the contestants are in for a wild ride. The show, which launches later this month, sees them board a blacked-out bus where they are fed clues – and a few nasty red herrings – with one simple question at the end of each episode: Where in Europe are you? A £100,000 prize awaits the winner. But with the amount of Euro facts we'll all learn along the way, I reckon some of us will win big at the next pub quiz too. GLAD SPIN-OFF IS BACK THE Gladiators spin-off prank show proved such a hit with viewers it's back for a second series. I can reveal it will be shot when the lycra-clad muscle men and women convene this month to film the conventional show for BBC One. Gladiators: Epic Pranks is aimed at youngsters and sees the likes of Phantom and Giant playing tricks on one another, and members of the public, for the sadistic amusement of viewers. There will also be the celebrity spin-off, which usually airs around Christmas, at the same time as the regular show. But the names of the stars taking part have yet to be revealed. Watch this space . . . IT'S A FULL HOUSE IN LONDON MOST of you probably thought The Real Housewives Of London would be a bunch of filthy rich women carping at each other while gorging on various luxuries in the capital. Well, you're wrong – because they also go to Scotland . 4 Panthea Parker is one of the six cast members for Real Housewives of London Credit: Hayu Everything else is true, however, which is pretty evident in the trailer which has just been released ahead of the new show streaming on Hayu from August 18. It's like a game of posh princess bingo , with mentions of diamond bracelets, facelifts, caviar, castles – and, of course, oodles of money . Some of the interactions between the warring women are a delight. In the trailer, one tells another: 'You're just a chronic liar and an insecure tw*t!' Another tells a rival: 'You're a f***ing bitch, a low life and mutton dressed as lamb.' Can. Not. Wait.

Emergency responders sent to the scene made unsuccessful attempts to revive them. Portugal's Policia Judiciaria have been asked by colleagues at the GNR police force to investigate the circumstances surrounding the men's deaths but they are not being treated as suspicious at this stage.
