Overview

• The Sun and the Mirror report that chef Tom Kerridge’s representatives have paused talks over contract and pay, stalling plans to pair him with Grace Dent for the next series.
• BBC content chief Kate Phillips told the Edinburgh TV Festival she acted quickly on the complaints she received and said she lacked visibility of older allegations at the time.
• An independent Lewis Silkin inquiry upheld 45 of 83 complaints about Gregg Wallace and upheld an allegation that John Torode used racist language, leading to both departures.
• The current BBC One run, filmed before the dismissals, is airing with edits after at least two contestants asked to be removed.
• ITV executive Kevin Lygo said John and Lisa’s Weekend Kitchen remains on air because it was pre‑recorded and producers reported no issues.
