Well, John Torode has now been sacked too.
Who should take over?

It was an amazing reboot following Loyd. Should it be scrapped?

I actually really like Camillas son - forgotten his name 🤣
Definitely not James Martin, Jamie or a woman who's name I can't remember either 🤣 not Anna the Irish one, but not her either.
Marcus absolutely.

John & his wife, Lisa, are sort of a brand together now.
So, bad news for her, too! GW wanted them gone, too!

Never watched it, so no idea who would be good on it.

maddiemookins16mum · 15/07/2025 18:57

Si King and Grace Dent works for me.

goudacheese · 15/07/2025 18:57

Alison Hammond would tick all the boxes.

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 15/07/2025 18:49

Monica and Grace for me please.

Oh a side note surely MasterChef must have been one of the most toxic places of work in telly land. One host exposing himself and constantly making indecent sexual remarks and the other make inappropriate racist comments.

It would appear, according to the reports, that Joh Torides offence was in a social environment not a work environment. So now you get sacked for things you may have said in private.

Angela Hartnett and Si King.

Yes to this, they would be fab pairing.

Coffeeishot · 15/07/2025 19:02

KassandraOfSparta · 15/07/2025 18:22

Angela Hartnett and Si King.

Oh yes I think Si king would really be perfect.

I think it will take a break for a year and come back with maybe a celebrity winner but I would really like it to be Si king. Angela Hartnett.

crumblingschools · 15/07/2025 19:06

Maybe the poor 2025 winner whose series might not now get shown!

gingercat02 · 15/07/2025 19:07

Presumably Marcus and Monica will stay if it stays on.
Wish list Mon and MRJ but he's pretty much retired 😕
I like the idea of Grace Dent but not sure she and Marcus would work.
Jay Rayner would be fun, but not Shitwell or Tom P-B
I suspect the beeb will rest it for a bit.
I feel sorry for the contestants that the programme probably won't be aired as it can be a real kick start to a career in food.

I have just been talking to dh about this. Some poor soul has won the series and might just dissapear.

FullOfLemons · 15/07/2025 19:12

Tim Anderson would be excellent

Of if being a cheeky cockney is a requirement then Danny Dyer

tobee · 15/07/2025 19:15

Do you think they'll not go for more of a yoof look? That's what the BBC always do nowadays.

Actually, just realised, it'll have to be Romesh,

DinkyDaffodil · 15/07/2025 19:16

These two 😅

CheshireCat1 · 15/07/2025 19:17

Perhaps a couple of the previous winners would be good.

hellswelshy · 15/07/2025 19:23

Si King & Grace Dent get my vote 😊

That may be the case but equally JT is representing the beeb even when not on telly and it damages their brand for one of their "stars" to be making racist comments.

eqpi4t2hbsnktd · 15/07/2025 19:35

Mel and Sue.

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 15/07/2025 19:38

eqpi4t2hbsnktd · 15/07/2025 19:35

Mel and Sue.

Oh now that's the dream.
With Bezza as an occasional guest judge.

Qoopwhooping · 15/07/2025 19:44

Parker Bowles holds his spoon wrong, so not him. Plus I can’t stand him.

Not Alison Hammond FFS.

Yes to Si King. Surely he couldn’t offend anyone.

I’m not a Grace Dent fan, she’s too thin.

whatwasthatnoise · 15/07/2025 19:57

I thought Grace Dent had been announced as GW's replacement newbie Christmas, but a quick Google suggests she was just presenting the next celebrity MC series with JT but who knows what will happen now.
Si King or Angela Hartnet would be great, or Tom Kerridge.

Butteredtoast55 · 15/07/2025 20:02

Initially I couldn't image be Si King and Grace Dent presenting together but it might actually lift the whole tone of the show and it's something very different for him so perhaps easier than trying to present his own cookery show or work with another partner. I feel his heart isn't in that anymore 😔

CrushingOnRubies · 15/07/2025 20:07

Andi Oliver and Si King

Andi Oliver and Si King

Oh, I like that suggestion!

Coffeeishot · 15/07/2025 20:13

Doesn't Andi oliver do the great brittish menu which is just bbc2 masterchef 😀

Pancakeflipper · 15/07/2025 20:14

Oh not Monica. I think she sometimes acts a bit mean just for the camera.

I like the idea of Jay Rayner and Grace Dent.

She does but she deserves a bit of a promotion. Ed Gamble or someone can do Great British Menu
