Piers Morgan shared his thoughts after it was confirmed on Tuesday evening that John Torode's contract isn't going to be renewed for MasterChef

The BBC in a statement said an “extremely offensive racist term” had been used in the workplace, prompting Torode’s contract to not be renewed.

John Torode reportedly learned of the end of his MasterChef career when browsing through the BBC News website. The TV chef recently claimed he was never contacted by the BBC or MasterChef's production company about their decision not to renew his contract on the cooking programme he's been part of for the past 20 years.
