I think it was the right decision by the BBC, and I think retaining the current Masterchef Professional series, which is so close to the finale was the right decision too. Pulling the current series would jeopardise the career chances of the chefs who had worked so hard to get to that stage - but a celebrity special really doesn’t matter to anybody if it’s pulled. I would have been watching, but I’m not devastated in the circumstances.

It seems that now the BBC have had their knuckles wrapped by the government, they've knee jerked and probably made him even more infamous.
