MasterChef fans spot serious editing blunder amid ongoing controversy
MasterChef is back on TV screens with its 21st series after its hosts have been embroiled with controversies. Yet another MasterChef controversy has arisen as viewers spotted the awkward moment TV bosses edited out a contestant from the cooking show. Long-time hosts Gregg Wallace and John Torode were axed following individual controversies of sexual misconduct and racism respectively, but the new series is still airing on the BBC. More than 40 historic complaints made against Wallace have been upheld according to a report, along with a claim that Torode once used a racist term, which he denies, reports the Express. Despite the backlash from fans to cancel the show, producers decided to air series 21 featuring both previous hosts, which had already been filmed. During Wednesday, August 13's episode- the fourth in the series - five amateur cooks entered the BBC kitchen rather than the usual six, which was met with suspicion from fans. The long shot of the group walking into the studio raised a few eyebrows after the show diverted from its usual format, instead featuring close ups of their faces or in pairs. Once inside, John and Gregg explained how two cooks would automatically go through to the next round after cooking their opening first dish. The two men in the competition – Sam and Trevor – made it through to the next round, leaving the three women – Hazel, Aileen, and Marcella – to compete again. After cooking a second dish, the remaining chefs returned to the room, but the footage abruptly cut after Hazel walked in behind Marcella and Aileen. As John revealed who the remaining two chefs would be going through to the final round, the camera shots remained closely cropped to each of the three women, rather than the wider shots that are typical of the show. Marcella was chosen first, before John announced Hazel's name. But in a bizarre moment, Hazel – who was at the end of the line – looked to her left and gave a thankful nod before looking to her right and doing the same to Aileen, who was in the middle of the trio. But as far as viewers could see, there was no one on Hazel's left that she would need to thank. As Aileen left the room, Hazel appeared to gesture with her arm to the left, before a big empty space next to Hazel flashed up on screen, making the interaction even more unusual. As it turned out, the odd episode was due to another sixth contestant's request to be edited out of the series because of its publicly shamed hosts. It didn't take long before fans flooded to X - formerly known as Twitter - to praise the editors on their hard work to seamlessly remove one contestant from the episode, despite the head-nod blunder. One user lauded: "Kudos to the editors of this episode. You would hardly have known that one contestant had been edited out." Another agreed: "I've just witnessed a masterpiece of editing" as a third echoed: "They managed to completely edit out Sarah Shafi! How was it possible?" Sarah Shafi, from Leeds, argued that airing the series sent the wrong message after the BBC sacked both presenters. The 57-year-old contestant claimed producer Banijay had offered to edit her out of the episode she featured in. But the participant dismissed the proposal and called for the whole series to be scrapped. Once the broadcaster confirmed the series was going ahead, Ms Shafi agreed to be edited out. A spokesperson for Banijay previously said: "As we said when we announced the show would be aired, this was not an easy decision in the circumstances and we appreciate not everyone would agree with it. "Banijay consulted with all the contestants before that decision was made and there was widespread support for it going ahead. The focus of the series is the contestants, as it always is. The edit has been looked at in light of the upheld findings." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

EastEnders' Tony Discipline works up a sweat at new Fire Brigade job after quitting soap and split with Jacqueline Jossa
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SOAP star Tony Discipline has traded EastEnders for a new life working in the fire service – and is currently deep in training. To most EastEnders fans, he will be known as Tyler Moon, the troubled son of David Essex's Eddie Moon and cousin to the legendary Alfie Moon (Shane Richie). 10 Tony Discipline played Tyler Moon in Eastenders for two years Credit: BBC 10 The star has now started working as a member of the London Fire Brigade Credit: Splash 10 Tony ditched his acting career for a life-saving job Credit: Splash 10 Tony was seen being put through his paces on the set Credit: Splash Appearing on the show from 2011 to 2013, Tyler proved to be a volatile character. As an amateur boxer he would take on bouts which his older brother Michael (Steve John Shepherd) would fix without his knowledge. This ultimately caused Tyler massive trouble as, after agreeing to an illegal fight, suffered a seizure from the amount of hits he took to the face. While his character was certainly a hard nut, 12 years on Tony is now using his own brute force for good, working with the London Fire Service. Spotted running through drills at his base, Tony was barely recognisable as he was spotted completing runs. It seems elements of Tyler stayed with him though, with Tony wearing a red t-shirt that reveals he's a member of the LFS Boxing Club. Speaking of his new job, Tony previously told The Sun: 'I love it. Every day is different and you feel you're helping your community. "It can be quite dangerous but you're trained to deal with those situations.' During his time on EastEnders, Tony sparked a relationship with Jacqueline Jossa, with the pair dating for 18 months before splitting in 2013, around the time that he left the soap. On screen, Tony's character Tyler found himself at one point in a love triangle with Jossa's character Lauren Branning and Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty). However, Tyler's feelings for Whitney became most prominent, with the pair becoming a will they/won't they couple during his entire time on the Square. 10 Tony was seen hard at work with the help of a friend Credit: Splash 10 Tony made a surprise appearance in Doctors last year Credit: BBC 10 The actor dated Jacqueline Jossa while they worked on the show together Credit: Getty - Contributor But after years of ups and downs, as well as becoming entangled in his family's increasingly sketchy businesses, Tyler decided he had enough and left in 2013 in a stolen sports car. He was last known to be going to work on a cruise ship alongside his brother Anthony. However, Tony has never ruled out a potential return. 'I loved my time there," he told us. "It was a great chapter in my life and if the opportunity ever came up, I would definitely be interested.' Since his EastEnders exit, Kent-born actor Tony has been busy grafting off-screen, also working as a bartender at his own bar, The Tipsy Trailer. While acting has taken a backseat in his life, he does continue to do some jobs – appearing in an episode of Doctors in 2024, and this year appearing in the movie, Dream Hacker. 10 Running laps, the drill test was to ensure Tony has what it takes to fight fire Credit: Splash 10 Just like character Tyler, Tony is clearly a fan of boxing - joining the LFS Boxing club Credit: Splash
