MasterChef: The cooking show canceled after serious accusations against a historic member
It is one of the longest-running cooking competitions in television history. In 1990, the BBC, the most popular channel in England, decided to launch MasterChef, a competition in which anonymous people compete in challenges around gastronomy. A show which quickly found success and which will be adapted in many countries, including France. Presented by from 2010 to 2012 on TF1, it features two renowned chefs, Yves Camdeborde and Frédéric Anton, as well as the culinary critic Sébastien Demorand. The show will be reborn from 2022 on France 2 with the animation and Thierry Marx on the jury.
In England, MasterChef has existed for over 30 years and enjoys great popularity with viewers. Unfortunately, a matter that affects one of the historic members of the show undermines the BBCwho decided to partially canceled the showdue to accusations of sexual harassment against Gregg Wallace. If this name perhaps doesn’t mean anything to you, the 60-year-old English entrepreneur and writer is particularly popular on the other side of the Channel since he has been a member of the show’s jury since 2005 in a duo with the British chef -Australian, John Torode. “Celebrity Christmas specials are obviously a different type of show and, in the current circumstances, we have decided not to air them”said a BBC spokesperson.
Gregg Wallace apologizes after controversy
In fact, Gregg Wallace is accused of “inappropriate” jokes, as well as sexual remarks throughout his presence in MasterChef, for 17 years. A real scandal in England since even the British government was involved in this affair. The current Minister of Culture, Lisa Nandy, assured that she had spoken with people from the BBC. For his part, the English television man apologized for “all fault” that he could have committed in the course of his work. A day earlier, the latter had sparked controversy by indicating that his accusers were “a handful of middle-class women of a certain age”.
