D: Gregg Wallace’s co-host John Torode has been fired from BBC’s “MasterChef” following an investigation that substantiated an allegation he used racist language in the workplace, marking the second major dismissal to emerge from the comprehensive probe into the show’s culture.

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

The BBC said in a statement that Mr. Wallace’s behavior “falls below the values of the BBC and the expectations we have for anyone who works with or for us.”
