MasterChef: Second contestant edited out of Gregg Wallace and John Torode’s final series

Another MasterChef contestant has been edited out of the latest series following the controversy surrounding the conduct of its sacked presenters. Banijay, the production company, confirmed that a second contestant requested to be removed from the programme. This comes after Sarah Shafi agreed to be edited out of the show due to allegations against Gregg Wallace and John Torode. The BBC faced criticism for broadcasting the series despite the controversy, but defended its decision to air the show for the amateur chefs involved. The series was filmed before Wallace and Torode were sacked, and the BBC has edited the programme to remove the contestants who requested not to be included.
