Why Gregg Wallace and John Torode's salaries are missing from BBC
The BBC has released its annual list of some of its stars' salaries today, however, MasterChef duo, Gregg Wallace and former co-host, John Torode's are not included Gregg Wallace and John Torode's salaries are not included in the BBC's annual list of its stars' pay packets, which has been released today. Each year, the corporation publishes the names and salaries of its employees, who earn above a certain threshold (currently £178,000) every year. But while there are many stars that the BBC employs directly, the broadcaster also contracts a large number of production companies to make some of its programmes. The famous faces who are employed by those companies are not directly employed by the BBC, and therefore not on the salaries list. One of these is Banijay, which makes MasterChef, and which, used to, employ - and pay - presenter, Gregg Wallace, before he was axed following an investigation into his behaviour. Other stars not listed on the BBC's salary list, include Stacey Solomon, Rylan Clark and comedians, Rob Brydon and Lee Mack. Also not included are Strictly hosts, Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman. Shows hosts, Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas are also absent from the list. Other stars who do not appear include Alan Carr (Interior Design Masters), Amanda Holden (Amanda & Alan's Spanish Job), Alison Hammond (Florida Unpacked and Alison Hammond's Big Weekend), Jools Holland (Later) andDannii Minogue (I Kissed A Boy). Gregg, 60, and former co-host John, 59, have been on Baniiay's books for years as the successful presenters of the BBC cooking show. Their salaries were never divulged, but Gregg was said to be earning £400,000 as reported by The Sun last year. Meanwhile, John is said to be worth a staggering £8 million, thanks to his TV work, career as a chef and also opening and selling restaurants. However, after a bombshell week for the pair, Gregg, has been axed from MasterChef following an independent investigation into his behaviour and John has revealed he has been accused of making a racist remark while working for Banijay, which he denies. Former greengrocer, Gregg, thanked Banijay, who instructed law firm, Lewis Silkin, to carry out the investigation into his behaviour while on the BBC, for 'supporting' him after the report was published. However, he slammed the BBC, saying "the BBC left me exposed to trial by media and the damage it leaves in its wake". The presenter insisted that 'none of the serious allegations against me were upheld' even though the review found him guilty of the 'unwanted touching' plus three counts of being in 'a state of undress'. Banijay, revealed that 45 out of 83 accusations against the father-of-three were corroborated. The report also brought to light two separate claims implicating others, with one involving racist remarks. Aussie star John has reportedly been asked to step down from his long-running role on MasterChef after an historic accusation of racism, which he has no memory of and denies ever happened. Patrick Holland, chief executive of Banijay UK, said previously: "It is clear that escalation procedures were not as robust as they should have been. "We are extremely sorry to anyone who has been impacted by this behaviour and felt unable to speak up at the time or that their complaint was not adequately addressed." Meanwhile, a BBC statement said: "Although the full extent of these issues were not known at the relevant time, opportunities were missed to address this behaviour – both by the production companies running MasterChef and the BBC. "We accept more could and should have been done sooner."
