Gregg Wallace may be completely ERASED from the new series of MasterChef despite it already being filmed so it can be aired next year


Gregg Wallace may be completely erased from the new series of MasterChef so it can be aired, MailOnline can reveal.

Despite the BBC insisting that the future of MasterChef will not be decided until the outcome of the investigation, a production insider told the Mail Online that the series is ‘salvageable’ as the option to airbrush Wallace entirely out of the episodes is being carefully considered. While TV presenter Jay Blades, who was charged last month with the physical and emotional abuse of his wife, has not appeared in pre-recorded episodes of The Repair Shop which have broadcast since. Torode broke his silence on Wednesday, but declined to defend his television colleague of 19 years, and said he fully supports the probe into the claims of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behaviour and language.
