Grace Dent was seen for the first time on Thursday after it was announced she will replace Gregg Wallace as MasterChef judge. The food critic, 51, will host the show alongside John Torode, 59, after Gregg, 60, stepped away from the BBC show while an investigation into alleged inappropriate behaviour takes place.

Gregg has faced a series of complaints about his alleged behaviour, including claims he made inappropriate sexual jokes, shared intimate details of his sex life and even walked around set naked except for a sock on his penis. He also reportedly would take off his clothes in front of women on set, flirt with members of staff and has been accused of groping two crew members.
