Two MasterChef celebrity Christmas specials have been pulled from the BBC’s schedule after Gregg Wallace stepped away from hosting the cooking show amid allegations about his behaviour.

It comes after the corporation announced on Monday that all MasterChef episodes filmed would be aired as planned, including the festive edition.

A BBC spokesperson has said: “As we have said, MasterChef is an amazing competition which is life-changing for the chefs taking part and the current series of MasterChef: The Professionals is continuing as planned.The celebrity Christmas specials are obviously a different type of show and in the current circumstances we have decided not to broadcast them.” Three episodes of BBC Two’s Inside The Factory, which are repeats, are also coming out of the schedule, the BBC said.

Gregg stepped away from the show last week after a BBC News investigation revealed allegations of inappropriate sexual comments and inappropriate behaviour against him.
