MasterChef presenter John Torode fired from BBC show

John Torode Masterchef

John Torode has been sacked from MasterChef after the BBC upheld a complaint regarding his use of an "extremely offensive racist term".
This development follows closely on the heels of 45 allegations of misconduct against his co-presenter, Gregg Wallace, also being upheld by the BBC.
The BBC confirmed Torode's contract would not be renewed after an independent investigation, conducted by law firm Lewis Silkin, substantiated the allegation.
Torode denies the allegation, saying he has no recollection of the incident. He expressed being "shocked and saddened" by the claim.
The BBC said it takes the finding "extremely seriously" and will not tolerate racist language of any kind.
