MasterChef returns after Wallace and Torode sacked

MasterChef returns with new series despite sackings of hosts Gregg Wallace and John Torode following misconduct allegations. BBC continues airing amateur series, facing criticism for rewarding bad behavior, with episodes featuring less banter and edited-out chef who didn't want the series to air. The new season, delayed to August, opens with Wallace and Torode hosting, focusing more on contestants, setting a different tone for the usually banter-heavy show, which airs three times a week until the finals.
