BBC Radio 4 presenter Aasmah Mir has taken a stand against MasterChef judges Gregg Wallace and John Torode, accusing them of making unprofessional comments about contestants on the popular cooking show.
Mir, known for her sharp wit and no-nonsense approach, did not hold back in her critique, suggesting that the judges' remarks often cross the line from constructive criticism to outright harshness.

The comments have sparked a lively debate among fans of the show, with many taking to social media to voice their opinions. Some viewers agree with Mir, arguing that the judges' feedback can be unnecessarily brutal, while others defend Wallace and Torode, claiming their honesty is what makes the show compelling.

This incident raises broader questions about the role of judges in reality TV. Should they prioritise entertainment over empathy, or is there a balance to be struck? Mir's intervention has certainly put the spotlight on this ongoing discussion.
Whether this will lead to any changes in how MasterChef is produced remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Aasmah Mir has once again proven she’s not afraid to speak her mind.
