**John Torode Sacked from MasterChef Over Racial Slur**
In a shocking turn of events, renowned chef and TV presenter John Torode has been removed from his role as a judge on popular cooking show MasterChef. The reason behind this unexpected departure? A racial slur allegedly uttered by the 64-year-old during an off-camera moment.
According to sources close to the production team, John Torode used the N-word, considered one of the most offensive and derogatory racial slurs in English, while engaged in a private conversation with colleagues. The incident reportedly occurred during a break between filming episodes for an upcoming season.
As a result, BBC executives have taken swift action, terminating Torode’s contract and replacing him with a new judge, rumored to be none other than celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.
Fans of the show are reeling from this sudden turn of events, as John Torode has been a beloved figure on MasterChef since its inception in 2005. His departure marks the end of an era for fans who have grown accustomed to his witty remarks and culinary expertise.
The incident serves as a stark reminder that even in a seemingly inclusive environment like television, racial slurs can still be used, causing harm and offense to marginalized communities.
