\n Former MasterChef judge John Torode was sacked from the show earlier this month after allegations he had used the N-word twice.\n<\/p>\n

\n The BBC announced his contract would not be renewed following an upheld complaint. It comes after co-host Gregg Wallace was also sacked for sexual allegations made against him.\n<\/p>\n

\n Now, all eyes are on the potential favourites who could replace Torode on the show – and a Wiltshire chef has made the list.\n<\/p>\n
