BBC Pulls About Half of Gregg Wallace Recipes From Food Site After MasterChef Sacking

The broadcaster says the removals reflect routine updates to its Food site.

Overview

  • Six of Gregg Wallace’s 11 recipes no longer appear on BBC Food, with dishes such as sausage and lentil soup, mince pie ice cream, raspberry pavlova, a raspberry-marinated rack of lamb, and leek and potato soup among those missing.
  • The BBC said recipe pages are regularly refreshed across the platform and confirmed that items from a range of chefs have been taken down recently.
  • Several Wallace recipes remain available, including his pork and apple burger.
  • Social media users criticised the takedowns as ‘childish’ and argued that recipes should be judged separately from their creator.
  • Wallace was dismissed after complaints about his conduct were upheld by an external investigation, though reports differ on the exact numbers and findings, and recent MasterChef episodes have aired with noticeable edits reducing his presence.
