MasterChef: The Professionals viewers slam 'ill timed' remark from Marcus and Monica and question why it was left in after co-star Gregg Wallace was hit by sexual harassment claims

The BBC have decided to go ahead and broadcast the rest of Masterchef: The Professionals, which will conclude on December 12, and the two Christmas editions, while they await the conclusion of the investigation into Wallace by production company Banijay.
