Gregg Wallace’s replacement for final MasterChef episodes revealed

  • Gregg Wallace is set to be replaced by Irish chef Anna Haugh towards the end of the new MasterChef 2025 series.
  • This decision follows an independent report substantiating 45 allegations against Wallace, including inappropriate sexual language and unwelcome physical contact.
  • Co-host John Torode also had an allegation of racist language upheld against him, which he denies recalling.
  • The BBC controversially decided to broadcast the 2025 series, stating it was to recognise the efforts of the amateur cooks involved.
  • Anna Haugh will take over from Wallace after the semi-finals, while Grace Dent has already replaced him on the next series of Celebrity MasterChef.
