It seems that the festive episodes of MasterChef will not be gracing our screens this year. The BBC has made the decision to pull the Christmas specials after receiving allegations of misconduct against presenter Gregg Wallace. This news comes after Wallace, who is 60 years old, announced that he would be stepping away from the cooking series.
Despite this announcement, an episode of the Professionals spin-off still aired on Monday night. However, the BBC has now confirmed that the scheduled festive episodes, which were due to air later this month, will no longer be shown. A spokesperson for the BBC stated that MasterChef is a highly regarded competition that has the power to change the lives of its contestants. They also mentioned that the current series of MasterChef: The Professionals will continue as planned.
However, due to the current circumstances and the ongoing investigation into the allegations against Wallace, the BBC has decided not to broadcast the celebrity Christmas specials. This decision was also confirmed by BBC News. It seems that the BBC is taking these allegations seriously and is taking the necessary steps to address them.
In addition to the MasterChef Christmas specials, three episodes of BBC Two's Inside The Factory, which were repeats, have also been removed from the schedule. The BBC has not provided any further information on the reason for this removal.
