Famous TV chef 'in talks to replace Gregg Wallace MasterChef host' after star stepped down amid 'sexual misconduct' probe - leaving Grace Dent's role on the show in jeopardy
The chef is set to step into the role alongside remaining judge John Torode, 59, following Gregg's exit last year amid his 'sexual misconduct' probe.
In January, food critic Grace Dent started filming Celebrity MasterChef alongside Torode, however The Sun reports that it remains to be seen if she will continue in the role. A source told the publication: 'Matt rose to the challenge of coming into Saturday Kitchen after it was previously hosted by another big name in the world of food, James Martin'. The Mail understands that the 'review' into Wallace's behaviour on MasterChef is due to have been concluded by the end of February, but that he has yet to be interviewed by the external team in charge of it, who were commissioned by production company Banijay.
