From the Daily Mail…
John Torode's most excruciating Masterchef moments revealed - as he's sacked from BBC flagship show for using 'extremely offensive racist term'
Love him, hate him, don’t really care ? Well, it is all over the British media
Someone must have had a hard-on for Mr. Torode, as he was reportedly cut loose from Masterchef for uttering a very offensive racist term sometime in 2018 or 2019. This was discovered by lawyers appointed by the series’ production company going through ages of telly footage to build a case to fire co-host Gregg Wallace, who is alleged to be a serial sexual harasser or something like that.
What I have not seen in any of the media reporting is a hint of what Torode might have actually said. Maybe he asked for Kefir Lime Leaves.
Anyway, if it really was a case of merely one offensive bon mot, Mr. Torode has a reasonable suit for wrongful dismissal. Just sayin.
Rumours have it that the two White gents might be replaced by at least one “British” female of African-via-the-West-Indies descent. I wouldn’t put it past them for finding an excuse for a little more DEI … DIE … whatever.
Maybe they can team her up with Nigella Lawson (the fun starts after 1:20).
