It was never intended."A separate claim that his co-host John Torode had used a severely offensive racist term was also substantiated. Torode has said he has "no recollection" of the incident.Both presenters were sacked, but the BBC decided to still broadcast this year's amateurs series of MasterChef - with both Wallace and Torode in it - for the sake of the chefs who had taken part in it.On Tuesday, the BBC's director general Tim Davie defended that decision, saying the "vast majority" of chefs on the show wanted it to air.But he added: "I think the consequences for the individuals who presented MasterChef have been very significant, they're no longer working with the BBC, so there are those consequences."Speaking to MPs, he also said he was "not letting anything lie" when it came to rooting out abuses of power within the corporation.Earlier this week, it was revealed that food critic Grace Dent and chef Anna Haugh are the new hosts of MasterChef.New MasterChef hosts revealed after Wallace and Torode axed'No one is irreplaceable', says BBC chief after scandalsWallace 'sorry' after 45 claims against him upheldTelevisionCultureBBCGregg WallaceMasterChef
