A former MasterChef winner has launched a furious attack on the BBC, accusing the broadcaster of unfair treatment in a bombshell statement that has sent shockwaves through the culinary world.
The champion, whose identity has sparked intense speculation, claims the corporation failed to provide adequate support after their victory, leaving them feeling 'abandoned' and 'exploited'.
'They Used Me and Dropped Me'
In an emotional outburst, the winner alleged: 'The BBC milked my success for ratings but offered nothing in return. Once the cameras stopped rolling, I was left to fend for myself.'
The shocking claims have divided fans, with many expressing sympathy while others question the timing of the accusations.
Industry Reacts to Explosive Claims
Fellow contestants have weighed in on the controversy, with some defending the BBC's record while others privately admitting they've experienced similar frustrations.
One former participant told us: 'The show opens doors, but the aftercare is practically non-existent. You're basically on your own after the final.'
The BBC has yet to respond officially to the allegations, but insiders suggest the corporation is preparing a statement addressing the concerns raised.
This scandal comes at a sensitive time for the broadcaster, which has faced increasing scrutiny over its treatment of reality show contestants in recent years.
