BBC Faces Decision on Airing New Series of MasterChef with Gregg Wallace
The BBC is in a dilemma over whether to broadcast the upcoming series of MasterChef featuring Gregg Wallace, who was removed as a presenter due to allegations of inappropriate behavior. The decision rests with the BBC's director general, Tim Davie, as editing Wallace out is not a feasible option. The fate of the series remains uncertain amidst ongoing controversies surrounding the broadcaster.
The BBC is facing a decision on whether to air this year's series of MasterChef, featuring Gregg Wallace who was sacked during production. The series was recorded in 2024 and delivered to the BBC by Banijay. Wallace appears as a judge until the finale. Allegations of inappropriate behavior led to Wallace stepping aside after a report by Lewis Silkin. More claims have surfaced, including allegations of groping and misconduct.
Tim Davie, the BBC's director general, must decide the series' fate. Editing Wallace out is challenging due to his significant presence. Shelving the series could undermine the efforts of the production team and contestants. Last year's series had already aired by this time. Davie faces this dilemma amidst other controversies at the BBC.
