BBC faces dilemma over new series of MasterChef10 hours ago Share Save Noor Nanji • @NoorNanji Culture reporter Share SaveKen McKay/ITV/Shutterstock Gregg Wallace has been the face of MasterChef for 20 yearsGregg Wallace may have been sacked as MasterChef presenter after allegations of misconduct, but for the BBC there's still a decision to be made over this year's series.
It is widely reported to have been filmed in 2024 - with Wallace in it - before BBC News first revealed the allegations against him.
'Tough decision'But whatever the BBC decides to do with the unseen series, it's an "extremely tough decision", according to Max Goldbart, international TV editor at Deadline.
But this week, BBC News reported that 50 more people have come forward with fresh allegations of inappropriate comments, touching and groping - which Wallace denies.
Goldbart says he can see the appeal of the iPlayer option.
