Despite presenting MasterChef for 20 years together, they were "never friends", it's claimed - after the pair were both sacked from the show

Gregg Wallace and John Torode fronted the BBC cooking show together for two decades, but a new report claims they were "never friends" and Wallace actually spoke out against his co-star.

Two new presenters have reportedly been ‘confirmed’ for MasterChef following the axing of Gregg Wallace and John Torode. Earlier this week an independent review commissioned by production company Banijay into misconduct accusations against Wallace, 60, upheld 45 of the 83 allegations, leading to his official removal from the cooking reality series.
