Head of BBC addresses future of MasterChef
The head of the BBC says MasterChef can survive as it is "much bigger than individuals" - but the corporation must "make sure we're in the right place in terms of the culture of the show".
Director-general Tim Davie said he "absolutely" thinks the popular cooking contest has a future, with the production's current deal with the corporation set to run out in 2028, and praised it as "a great programme that's loved by audiences". His comments came just hours before MasterChef presenter John Torode was sacked after an allegation he used an "extremely offensive racist term".
His co-host Gregg Wallace was also sacked last week after claims of inappropriate behaviour. Speaking as the BBC unveiled its annual report, and following a series of recent controversies, Mr Davie said the corporation's leadership team will not "tolerate behaviour that is not in line with our values.
