BBC MasterChef is looking for two new presenters after hosts, Gregg Wallace and John Torode, who have fronted the show for 20 years, have been sacked

John Torode has been sacked as MasterChef presenter after it emerged that an allegation against him of using racist language was upheld. On Monday, the TV chef said he had "no recollection" of the incident, adding: "I do not believe that it happened."

After an inquiry into Wallace's behavior revealed claims against two separate people, Torode said on Monday: "I am the individual who is alleged to have used racial language on one occasion."
