The BBC has found itself embroiled in yet another controversy after MasterChef presenters Gregg Wallace and John Torode made remarks about Labour MP Lisa Nandy during a live broadcast. The comments, which were deemed inappropriate by many viewers, have sparked a wave of criticism on social media.
During the show, Wallace and Torode appeared to mock Nandy's appearance, leading to accusations of sexism and unprofessionalism. The incident has reignited debates about the BBC's standards and the treatment of women in politics.
Viewers React
Outraged viewers took to Twitter to express their disapproval, with many calling for an apology from the BBC. One user wrote, "This is unacceptable behaviour from public figures. The BBC must address this." Others pointed out the double standards in how male and female politicians are discussed in the media.
BBC's Response
So far, the BBC has not issued an official statement regarding the incident. However, insiders suggest that the corporation is reviewing the footage to determine whether further action is required. A spokesperson for Lisa Nandy declined to comment.
This is not the first time the BBC has faced criticism over its handling of on-air comments. The broadcaster has been under increasing scrutiny in recent years for perceived biases and lapses in editorial judgment.
