Two new presenters have reportedly been ‘confirmed’ for MasterChef following the axing of Gregg Wallace and John Torode. Earlier this week an independent review commissioned by production company Banijay into misconduct accusations against Wallace, 60, upheld 45 of the 83 allegations, leading to his official removal from the cooking reality series.

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."
