I always thought he was brash and ignorant. I also couldn't understand what a grocer was doing on Masterchef. He's not quite classy enough for Romford market imo...

It’s actually bizarre that his friends are supporting him with this ‘reason’

I share the same issue with seams / textures etc but he apparently dropped his kecks on a regular basis which is disgusting .. Bono of U2 supposedly does the same thing in company

Agreed. I can’t wear jeans because of the texture but it doesn’t mean if I did I’d pull my jeans down when women were present. Or at least give a warning. Did he do that with men?

Today

[MasterChef presenter John Torode has said
he is subject of an allegation of using racist language,
upheld as part of an inquiry into separate allegations
against co-host Gregg Wallace.

In an Instagram post on Monday,
Torode said the allegation was that
he made the remarks in 2018 or 2019
and that he had apologised immediately
afterwards.

However, the TV chef said he had "no recollection"
of any of it, adding: "I do not believe that it happened."

It comes after an inquiry ordered by
MasterChef's production company Banijay
found that 45 allegations about Wallace's behaviour
on the programme were upheld,
for which he apologised.]

No surprises, it has been a bit of a witch hunt, they let Greg get away with it for years and he was never reprimanded, when someone reported him to a producer he said ...you have hardly been Jimmy Savilled....so they didnt take it seriously until they wanted rid of him, same as Gino, not for one moment am I defending Gregg Wallace but if your employer condones your behaviour by offering you contract after contract its highly unlikely you will change your ways

I agree with you, but at least we know what Greg's actions were meant to be.

Because John's meant to have used racist language, but the BBC haven't provided any evidence that he actually said anything.
