Grace Dent appointed as new co-host of MasterChef following Gregg Wallace's departure

Grace Dent has been appointed as the new co-host of MasterChef, replacing Gregg Wallace, who stepped back last year amid allegations of inappropriate behavior. Dent will host alongside John Torode. Dent expressed excitement about her new role, calling it a "dream come true." She described feeling "drunk on power" after her appointment, which was confirmed by the BBC last month. Wallace's departure followed multiple complaints about his conduct over two decades on the show. He has denied the allegations, which include claims from former contestants.
