The BBC has axed this year's MasterChef Christmas special in light of the ongoing investigation into allegations against host Gregg Wallace as he faces claims of making 'inappropriate sexual jokes'
Former Love Island star Luca Bish has been left gutted by the BBC decision to pull the upcoming MasterChef Christmas special as he took to social media to declare " Christmas is cancelled".
Luca, a 25-year-old reality TV star had been set to appear in a festive edition of the BBC cooking show alongside Amy Walsh, Max George and Shazia Mirza. The two Christmas specials were set to air on BBC One later this month, but they will no longer be aired while an external review of misconduct allegations takes place.
The presenter, 60, issued a controversial video statement at the weekend in which he hit out at a handful of "middle-class women of a certain age" over complaints made against him. He has since apologised for his remarks. He faces allegations from 13 people across a range of shows over a 17-year period, as reported by BBC News on Thursday, with many others since sharing their experiences.
Luca took to Instagram to tell his 1.2million followers he was gutted about the decision to pull the show. Sharing a black and white image of him in the celebrity MasterChef kitchen he captioned to post:"Christmas is cancelled. Gutted our Christmas special has been put on hold but hope to be on your screens again soon."
