John Torode declares it's 'onwards and upwards' for MasterChef after Gregg Wallace's departure as he gushes about new co-host Grace Dent


The food critic, 51, was announced by the BBC as Gregg's replacement in December after he was axed due to a series of complaints about his alleged behaviour.

John Torode has revealed he is loving his new MasterChef co-host, Grace Dent, following Gregg Wallace's departure from the BBC cookery series amid allegations against him of inappropriate sexual comments. His wife revealed she and the Aussie chef entertained Grace at their North London home where the former Holby City actress tested out the pair's fledgling judging chemistry. Gregg has faced a series of complaints about his alleged behaviour, including claims he made inappropriate sexual jokes, shared intimate details of his sex life and even walked around set naked except for a sock on his penis.
