Janet Street-Porter has recalled her time on Celebrity MasterChef and noted that there was a "distance" between hosts John Torode and Gregg Wallace on the BBC show

It was confirmed on 24 July that season 21 of MasterChef will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on 6 August 2025. However, the BBC has announced that they will air this latest season, which was filmed prior to any allegations against the presenters and therefore features both Gregg Wallace and John Torode.

The BBC will broadcast the amateur series of 'MasterChef' despite misconduct findings against presenters Gregg Wallace and John Torode.
