The news that John’s contract with the long-standing series would not be renewed emerged earlier this summer, after an allegation of him using “an extremely offensive racist term” was upheld, as per the BBC.

Reacting to his departure, John clarified at the time: “Although I haven’t heard from anyone at the BBC or Banijay, I am seeing and reading that I’ve been ‘sacked’ from MasterChef. I reiterate that I have no memory of what I’m accused of. The enquiry couldn’t even specify the date or year of when I am alleged to have said something inappropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPersonally, I have relished every moment working on MasterChef, but it’s time to hand over the utensils to someone else.\u201d<\/p>\n
