John Torode breaks silence after sacking from BBC MasterChef
John Torode has broken his silence after being sacked from MasterChef on the BBC. It was confirmed by the BBC and production company Banijay UK last month that the 59-year-old's contract on the popular show would not be renewed. Australian-born Mr Torode started presenting MasterChef alongside Gregg Wallace in 2005 and confirmed he was the subject of an allegation of using racist language. This was upheld as part of a review carried out by law firm Lewis Silkin into the alleged behaviour of his co-presenter, Mr Wallace. READ MORE: Lisa Faulkner and John Torode. (Image: Ian West / PA) A statement from Banijay UK said: 'In response to John Torode's statement, it is important to stress that Banijay UK takes this matter incredibly seriously. 'The legal team at Lewis Silkin that investigated the allegations relating to Gregg Wallace also substantiated an accusation of highly offensive racist language against John Torode, which occurred in 2018. 'This matter has been formally discussed with John Torode by Banijay UK, and whilst we note that John says he does not recall the incident, Lewis Silkin have upheld the very serious complaint. 'Banijay UK and the BBC have agreed that we will not renew his contract on MasterChef.' A BBC spokesperson said: 'John Torode has identified himself as having an upheld allegation of using racist language against him.

John Torode denies the allegation. "He has stated he has no recollection of the alleged incident and does not believe that it happened. He also says that any racial language is wholly unacceptable in any environment. 'The BBC takes this upheld finding extremely seriously. We will not tolerate racist language of any kind and, as we have already said, we told Banijay UK, the makers of MasterChef, that action must be taken. 'John Torode's contract on MasterChef will not be renewed.' The 59-year-old has now broken his social media silence since the controversy and posted a photograph of his dog, Rory.

"Just thank you for all your really lovely comments because they really mean a lot, so thank you."

Gran strangled in lift at Newcastle flats by crack addict who was covered in blood
A gran was left terrified when she was strangled in a lift by a crack cocaine addict who was covered in blood. It was around 3pm on March 28 this year that the victim went to visit her friend at Church Walk House, Walker, Newcastle. Jordan Parkinson, prosecuting, told Newcastle Crown Court it was as the woman got in a lift at the flats when she was attacked by badly injured Clough, leaving her terrified. Miss Parkinson said: "He reached through, grabbing the door as they were closing. "He grabbed her by the neck, making it difficult for her to breathe. He lifted her off the floor and against the wall. The incident is captured on CCTV. He can be seen covered in blood, shouting 'give me everything you've got'. She believes he was referring to the drugs she had." READ MORE: Travelling burglary gang targeted 'Asian gold' in Northumberland during County Durham Airbnb stay READ MORE: Ibiza Final Boss Jack Kay could earn six-figure salary this year with newfound fame The victim said in a statement: "As a result of the incident I feel scared and anxious to return to my friend's address or Walker in general. My children and grandchildren live in Walker, meaning I visit there. I fear for my own safety and I'm terrified of another chance encounter occurring again." Around 45 minutes later, Clough turned up at his former partner's house, still covered in blood and in breach of a restraining order imposed for stalking her. She wasn't at home but saw him on a ring doorbell camera and he said "I've been stabbed to bits". Clough, 38, of no fixed address, who has 25 previous convictions and was on two suspended sentences - for stalking his ex and drug driving - pleaded guilty to intentional strangulation and breaching a restraining order. A previous allegation of attempted robbery was dropped. Now he has been jailed for 21 months. Recorder Toby Hedworth KC told him: "It must have been extremely frightening for her, given how she was grabbed by the throat and pinned against the side of the lift, at a time when you were covered in blood and shouting at her." Kate Barnes, defending, said: "He had visited the flats in question to buy drugs. While there, he was attacked viciously, with a machete to his head, arms and legs. "It was a chance encounter (with the woman in the lift) and he does know her. He remonstrated with her because he thought she had taken property from him while they were taking drugs. "He doesn't accept he made any threats to take her property. It's clear from the footage there was no attempt to take the bag she was carrying. "Having assaulted her, he want to the closest property he knew of, which was his previous partner's address, to do no more than seek assistance from her, bleeding heavily as he was. He is extremely apologetic for any upset he may have caused her." Miss Barnes added that Clough, who has worked in the past and had his own business, was addicted to crack cocaine at the time of the offences.

Man refused to take emaciated dogs to vets as he 'thought he'd get done'
A BRADFORD man has been banned from keeping animals for life after his two emaciated pet dogs had to be put down to relieve their suffering. Ryan Michael Scandrett did not take the severely ill dogs, a male brindle Lurcher called Rocky and a male Shepherd dog called Max, to be treated by vets because he feared he'd 'get done' for their poor condition. Scandrett, 36 of Stirling Crescent, appeared at Bradford Magistrates Court on Wednesday to be sentenced for causing unnecessary suffering to the dogs last year. The court was told that the dogs were so skinny that vets could clearly see their bones, and they were described as 'moribund.' Despite attempts to bring the dogs back to good health, the animal charity decided euthanasia was needed to end their suffering. Louise Freeman, prosecuting on behalf of the RSPCA, said officers had visited Scandrett's address on September 21. She said: 'They were met by a large crowd of people and police officers. Members of the public were crying and seemed very angry.' She said officers were shown two dogs that were sat in the boot of a car, both looked in poor condition. Max was 'retching,' the dogs were emaciated and there was 'foul smelling' saliva hanging from one dog's mouth. The dogs were taken to a vet who found them to be lethargic and depressed. They were skinny, and the vet gave both a body score of one out of nine – the lowest possible score. Mrs Freeman said the 'bones were clearly visible' on both dogs. Max (Image: RSPCA) They showed symptoms of starvation, and one dog vomited raw, undigested chicken, including skin and chicken bones. She added: 'The condition of the dogs continued to deteriorate significantly, and euthanasia was required.' Feeding one of the dogs raw chicken would likely have made the poor condition of the dogs even worse – Magistrates were told. Mrs Freeman said: 'It is likely that the additional stress from trying to digest a raw chicken carcass would have hastened the dog's moribund state.' Vets suggested the dogs' suffering would have lasted at least two weeks before they were put down. The court heard that Scandrett was interviewed, and said he had only had the dogs for about two weeks, and were in a poor condition when he got them. Mrs Freeman said: 'He said he didn't take them to the vet 'in case he got done for it.' 'He continued to allow the dogs to suffer – it was a deliberate disregard for animal welfare. He knew these dogs were underweight.' Scandrett had initially denied responsibility for the dog's condition, and the case was due to go to trial in June. Two days before the trial was due to start he informed the courts he would be changing his plea to guilty. Referring to this, Mrs Freeman said: 'He failed to accept any wrongdoing until the last minute.' Mohammed Abid, defending, said Scandrett suffered from anxiety and depression. Ahead of the likely ban on keeping animals, he had decided to give two horses he owned to a friend. He said: 'It is a very sad affair that he finds himself before the court today. 'He had two horses that he has had to give to a friend – they have helped calm him down. He has owned animals all his life and this is his first time before the courts.' He told magistrates his client had been given the dogs by some travellers, and 'obtained them in the hope of nursing them back to health. 'Had he not taken the dogs, the previous owners would have left them to die.' He claimed the raw chicken had been thrown over the fence by a neighbour, and that Scandrett had only ever given the dogs cooked chicken. He said: 'He should have taken the dogs to the vets sooner but he feared he would have been blamed for their state.' Magistrates imposed a 12-month community order that will require Scandrett to carry out 180 hours unpaid work. He was given a lifetime ban on keeping or being involved in the care of animals, and ordered to pay £600 in costs. He will not be able to challenge his ban for at least 10 years.
