Matt Tebbutt to Replace Gregg Wallace on MasterChef

BBC is reportedly in advanced discussions with Saturday Kitchen host Matt Tebbutt to replace Gregg Wallace as a judge and host on MasterChef, following Wallace's departure amidst sexual misconduct allegations. Tebbutt is known for successfully taking over Saturday Kitchen from James Martin and is expected to bring similar magic to MasterChef, should the talks finalize. Despite Grace Dent temporarily filling Wallace's role on Celebrity MasterChef, her long-term involvement remains uncertain. Wallace, who has denied the allegations, apologized for his initial dismissive remarks about his accusers. The BBC is keen to have everything in place as MasterChef remains a major show with a significant audience. The investigation into Wallace's behavior is still ongoing, and the outcome will likely influence the final decision for the show's hosting lineup.
