BBC shares update on tonight's MasterChef episode following Gregg Wallace allegations


The BBC has confirmed whether tonight's episode of MasterChef: The Professionals will air this evening after Gregg Wallace had to step back from the show

Gregg Wallace, who recently stepped back from his role on the popular BBC cooking series amid an external review into historical allegations of misconduct, has been accused of making "inappropriate sexual jokes" and other behavioural complaints. Following these events, last Thursday confirmed that Wallace will temporarily leave the beloved BBC cooking programme as Banijay UK conducts an external review into the historical misconduct allegations. His statement sparked a backlash from former Celebrity MasterChef contestants, including Ulrika Jonsson, Kirstie Allsopp, and Emma Kennedy, who criticised his response.
