Quite impressive how much they’ve managed to fk up. Say what you like about Delia, I bet she never groped or racial abused guests . Although she did have some pretty disgusting ‘recipes’.
I wonder if he's going to fight or not, as he says he doesn't think it happened. Hope the beeb's lawyers are sure it did or this whole thing will rumble on for ages more.

New series already made. Winner / finalists will expect to be well compensated by the Beeb, as it seems set to be canned...
Surely they can't air it now after all the controversy. Perhaps the could pixelate the faces of Torode and Wallace and overdub the voices with actors but in a woke way. Torode gets a Carribean lilt and Wallace gets the voice of an effeminate metrosexual.

(I'm taking half my upvote back for the use of the word 'woke', but thanks for the mental image of them both pixelated!

Maybe a way to move on will be to financially compensate the finalists who attended and then invite them back to film a new series which could be an extended finals?

I'm guessing you might have nailed it there. (Edit: as in what will happen)

I'm a bit gutted.

Torode is employed by the production company and I think it is it that employed independent lawyers to investigate.
The firm is Lewis Silkin which is an employment law specialist, so I can't imagine it would have left any stone unturned.

I don’t understand why a decision even needs to be made on the new series. Old series are still available to watch on iPlayer with both presenters in them so surely the obvious answer is just to air them with a message at the start noting they were filmed before allegations came to light, BBC does not condone and both have now been relieved of their roles etc
Maybe a bit of editing to minimise their appearances, eg. Not cutting to Gregg going ‘CORRRRR’ and ‘WOWWWWW’ every 5 seconds, but accepting that they will be shown when judging and announcing results
Seems a much better solution than ruining the chance for people who have done nothing wrong to appear and benefit from a competition that has already taken place

Highlighting crass stupidity since sometime around 2010
A number of years ago it was said that both presenters didn't get on and there was a huge wall of silence around it all. I guess the last year or so has kind of shed some light on it a tiny amount. I still feel there is more to come unfortunately.

Compared to versions around the World, UK Masterchef is terrible.
I think that's definitely a personal opinion and taste thing. I prefer it to Australia, US and South African versions. The Aussie one manages to drag about 50 episodes out of ten's worth of content.

I thought Grace Dent had already been lined up to replace him?
They should get Si King to do it.
He could save the brand, is excellent at getting the best from people who aren't used to being on TV, and is as close to a national treasure as can be found!
Plus it is a programme of similar status to Hairy Bikers, so it would give him a great chance to resume his career with something different to what he has done before, but that will let him shine.
They'll probably just pair Jay Rayner with Grace Dent, but Si King would be better than either.

wouldn't be suprised if Ainsley Harrott might gets the role. He and Dent male/female black white meet diversity wishes media people are keen on. Like Si King, Ainsley has the same matey vibe that would give nervous amateur chefs a bit of heart. Grace then does the straight man role (in a comedic sense). Could be they prefer someone with a professional chef background rather than tv chef though.

Whenever he gets a mentio it always reminds me of this -
