As MasterChef returns with a pre-recorded series featuring axed John Torode and Gregg Wallace, these series also found the show must go on.

Beleaguered BBC show MasterChef is set to make a controversial return to TV on Wednesday, with the pre-recorded series airing despite hosts Gregg Wallace and John Torode having both been axed after an investigation.

Not everyone is in agreement that the series making it to air is the right one - some of the women who complained about Wallace's behaviour have claimed that it is disrespectful for BBC One to show the final series that the long-running hosting duo made before their exit. Meanwhile, others have argued that MasterChef has the potential to change the lives of the winners and finalists, who shouldn't suffer because of the production's issues.
