Just that really. As it seems rather obvious he won’t be darkening the doors of MasterChef again - who would you like to see replace him (or maybe replace both him and John).

An egg. Would probably make similarly valued contributions to the programme.

That’s got me thinking about when they had a tub of lard in HIGNFY

I think it would be nice to see someone who hasn't come from a traditional chef background like nadiya but who is passionate about food

A middle aged woman of a certain age.

It would nicely infuriate him.

Nadiya is lovely. Or Angela Hartnett.

I would definitely start tuning in again if it was an egg

I think the programme will have to go- there's now talk of a completely toxic environment going beyond Wallace. It's such a shame-it's my favorite show.

FancyBiscuitsLevel · 02/12/2024 20:11

Well they have a chef as one presenter, I think having a food critic would make sense as the second person. I don’t know the various newspapers food critics well enough to suggestion anyone.

TinyMouseTheatre · 02/12/2024 20:11

I think they need to replace John Torode too. Time for a completely fresh set of presenters.

Dreammalildream · 02/12/2024 20:11

Any middle aged woman.

Grace Dent

Grace Dent for me too, love watching her on Masterchef.

MrsApplepants · 02/12/2024 20:14

I’d like to see the end of Masterchef to be honest, it’s always on, been done to death and getting really boring. And if they could take Strictly with it, all the better

Grace Dent

I absolutely adore Grace Dent but get a feeling she’d avoid it

I always thought Jay Rayner would be good as 'Gregg' rather than as a critic.

Liz Bonnin?

Nadiya Hussain would be good

A literal Potato

A selection of women of a certain age he offended and belittled being given guest spots throughout a series.

RedToothBrush · 02/12/2024 20:20

One of the suggestions I've seen is Si King.

I actually think that's a pretty decent call.

I do agree. I've think that they've both had their time now.

RoseAndRose · 02/12/2024 20:25

I think they should retire the programme for a few years

TinyMouseTheatre · 02/12/2024 20:23

This too.

However, they've got to find a replacement to both which isn't god awful.

I can't see them replacing BOTH flag ship shows at the same time.

They aren't getting the high audiences but equally they are still pulling in a bigger audience than most shows.

HowMuchOfYourHeart · 02/12/2024 20:27

Jay Rayner. Anyone but Nadia. I’d have to stop watching.

Really good idea. He’s what Gregg is “supposed” to be isn’t he? A genuinely down to earth man who’s not a “chef” but loves food.
