John Torode 'blindsided' by BBC sacking him from MasterChef in the most brutal way
Chef John Torode was reportedly axed from MasterChef yesterday after BBC boss Tim Davie said no star was bigger than the show - and it's now emerged how John found out Masterchef's John Torode was left in shock yesterday after he found out he had been unceremoniously dropped from the popular cooking series, having discovered his fate on the BBC website. The unexpected ousting followed comments from BBC boss Tim Davie, who stated that no presenter is bigger than the show itself, as reported by The Sun. The famed cook, aged 59, was reportedly devastated when the BBC and production company Banijay confirmed his sudden exit amid allegations of racist language, coming in the wake of the explosive Gregg Wallace scandal. An insider disclosed: "John had no idea. He was blindsided." In a remarkable turn of events, it emerged that the Aussie chef's representative was given a mere 11 minutes' heads-up before the news was made public, reports the Express. An source shared: "John's agent received a call 11 minutes before the statements went out and hadn't had a chance to call him. "He read about it on the BBC News website. Obviously he's heartbroken. "He feels he's been made a scapegoat off the back of the Gregg Wallace report." Despite the controversy, Torode took to Instagram with a resolute message: "Although I haven't heard from anyone at the BBC or Banijay - I am seeing and reading that I've been 'sacked' from MasterChef and I repeat that I have no recollection of what I'm accused of. "I have loved every minute working on MasterChef, but it's time to pass the cutlery to someone else." The shocking report into the conduct of MasterChef co-host Gregg Wallace, 60, validated an astonishing 45 out of 83 complaints dating from 2005 to 2024, culminating in his own spectacular downfall. As we disclosed yesterday, BBC executives had insisted at the weekend that Torode step down, alleging he was grappling with mental health problems. He declined to do so.

Kendall and Kylie Jenner skip brother Brody's wedding amid family 'bad blood' calls
Kendall and Kylie Jenner turned down their half-brother Brody Jenner's invitation to attend his wedding to Tia Blanco in Malibu Kendall and Kylie Jenner were notable absentees as half-brother Brody Jenner tied the knot. Former Hills star Brody, 41, married Tia Blanco in Malibu, but the famous siblings decided to skip the ceremony. It's claimed the occasion wasn't a priority for Kylie, 27, and Kendall, 29. The duo and Brody are both children of former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner. While Kyie and Kendall's mum is Kris Jenner, Brody's is Caitlyn's ex-wife, Linda Thompson. According to sources, Brody reached out personally to his half sisters with an invitation to his big day months ago. However, they are said to have had other commitments, meaning they couldn't attend. Despite the reasoning, insiders believe the pair could have made an appearance if they really wanted to. They then claimed Caitlyn's ex-wives, Kris and Linda, have had "bad blood" over the years. "Linda is quite a character, and has a lot to say about Kris - and vice versa," the source told the Sun. "It was fireworks for a few years, and that drama did carry through into the kids." And it's claimed Brody never warmed to Kris. "He's never gotten over it," they said. "And so when the siblings were trying to build relationships, Brody would often fall back into this narrative of blaming Kris for everything." The source went on to say Kylie feels like a "stranger" within Brody's family unit and feels a lot closer to the Kardashian clan. However, another source told TMZ there is no bad blood, but "mutual love" between the Jenner sisters and Brody, suggesting Kylie and Kendall may have swerved the event "to keep the spotlight on the bride and groom". While Kendall and Kylie were not present for the special occasion, Caitlyn was in attendance. And despite the no-shows, Brody seemed to have enjoyed his big day. He took to Instagram shortly after and gushed: "Last night was truly something special. We had the best time celebrating our love with all of you," he wrote on Instagram. "Thank you to everyone who came out and made it such an unforgettable night. We felt so much love and couldn't be more grateful.' Despite missing their half-brother's ceremony, the Jenner sisters took time last month to attend the lavish get together for Jeff Bezos' big day. However, while Kylie and Kendall Jenner's appearance was a bit more understated, the elder sisters, Kim and Khloe, seized every chance to turn heads from the moment they rocked up in a plunging catsuit to their swift departure after the 25-minute ceremony. Body language expert Judi James told The Mirror US: "These sisters behaved very much like 20 year old bridesmaids: single, playful and still as selfie/self-obsessed as any teenager." She analysed their "their jurassic, self-flaunting body language," specifically when they posed for snaps on a water taxi using "the classic duck-face pout and the inevitable over-stretched V-sign finger signals." And she also said they appeared "happily obsessed with their own image".

How Orlando Bloom is turning into ‘world's worst ex' after Katy Perry split from cringe behaviour to nepo-baby parties
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HE's failed to reclaim his leading man status, ever since playing a sea-faring adventurer in Pirates of the Caribbean over two decades ago. But Orlando Bloom has upped his swashbuckling adventures off-camera over the past few weeks, in the aftermath of his and Katy Perry's break-up. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Actor Orlando Bloom looks glum posing with Katy Perry at an Oscars party in March Credit: Getty 5 Orlando in the VIP section at an Oasis gig with Liam Gallagher's sons Lennon and Gene Credit: Instagram/@orlandobloom 5 Orlando strolls in Venice with Sydney Sweeney Credit: BackGrid All that's left us wondering: has Orlando, 48, assumed his greatest role yet…as the worst ex ever? Because as far as he's concerned, his single era's in full Bloom. And he is making sure the world knows about it. Whether it's air-kissing the Kardashians and co at the Bezos-Sanchez wedding, or partying with nepo babies half his age at Oasis's concert in Manchester, the former heartthrob has been keeping himself busy. Meanwhile, his very recent ex has been grafting hard on her world tour, Lifetimes, and plastering on a smile following the end of their nine-year relationship. Read more on Orlando Bloom PERRY'S PAIN Katy Perry fights back tears onstage as she thanks fans after Orlando split His jam-packed social diary includes cringe-inducing selfies and videos, and a bleary-eyed appearance at Wimbledon the morning after the night before at Oasis. Rewinding two months, the actor was there to greet Katy, with their four-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove, in tow, following her all-female, 11-minute space flight with Blue Origin in April. But behind the scenes, reports spread that the couple's out-of-this-world love had come crashing down to earth, amid rumours that Orlando wasn't happy with Katy's very attention-seeking spectacle. One month later, their engagement was reportedly over, and they were duly pictured on opposite sides of the world. For his part, Orlando rocked up solo to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's £20m wedding in Venice, while Katy - who's actually the one who's close to the billionaire pair - honoured her tour commitments in Australia. They had yet to confirm the split, but the writing was on the wall, as Orlando got busy 'partying and cosying up' to Sydney Sweeney, among the many A-listers in attendance, and hugging a 'mystery woman' - who later turned out to be Katy's stylist, Jamie Mizrahi. Emotional Katy Perry fights back tears onstage as she thanks fans after Orlando Bloom split And the cringey behaviour didn't stop there, as Orlando - the man who didn't like Katy's public spectacle - decided to run a lap of Venice in the shortest shorts possible. Needless to say, short-shrift was given to any alleged hopes he had of going incognito. Days later, the former couple announced in a statement that 'Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting. 'They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is - and always will be - raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.' Days later, they stayed true to their word - with Orlando sharing photos from a family holiday in Italy with Katy, Daisy Dove, and Orlando's son Flynn, 14, whom he shares with ex-wife Miranda Kerr. But after bidding the family arrivederci, the actor was off to the races - seemingly loving every minute of his newfound single life. Over the weekend, he posted a video from Oasis's concert at Heaton Park, where he hobnobbed in the VIP section with the band's kids, including Liam Gallagher's sons Lennon, 25, and Gene, 24. 5 Orlando on a yacht off Italy's Amalfi coast Credit: BackGrid 5 Orlando takes a water taxi with Jamie Mizrahi at the Bezos wedding last month Credit: BackGrid Singing blissfully into his phone, the actor sparked a mixed reaction. Some loved his unbridled love for the band; others found it just a wee bit cringeworthy. One commenter wrote: 'Midlife crisis on full display,' while another weighed in: 'Grow up.' A third added: 'Hasn't done anything since Lord of the Rings. 'Such a boring non-entity.' Not one to be deterred, the father of two partied into the night, before donning his fineries the following day to attend the Wimbledon Men's Final. Dressed in a Ralph Lauren suit - with sunglasses to supposedly disguise the inevitable hangover - the actor watched Jannik Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz to take the top title. Taking to Instagram, he later wrote: 'What a game!!! 'There is something so reassuringly British and life affirming about Wimbledon.' Once again, his exploits sparked a mixed reaction. One follower joked, 'You're everywhere,' while another added, 'He's having quite the freeloading summer.' Meanwhile, in contrast to his very social life, Orlando's acting career hasn't quite sparked the same global attention. His most recent film, Deep Cover - in which he stars as an improv actor turned undercover agent - was released on Amazon Prime last month. So far, it's garnered positive reviews, but it's had half the impact of Orlando's social calendar. I sometimes look at a cow and think, that's the most beautiful thing ever Orlando Bloom What's more, he may have been Hollywood hot property in the noughties - with roles in massive franchises like Lord of The Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean - but he's hardly made a splash since. He's worked relatively consistently, but his personal life has always eclipsed his professional output. Very public relationships with actress Kate Bosworth and first wife Miranda Kerr have increased his reputation as a celebrity romancer. That was then cemented when he got together with singer Katy in 2016 - before proposing in 2020. They'd initially planned to get married in Japan later that year, but the COVID-19 pandemic scuppered those chances. Then, after the initial postponement, they said their busy schedules kept getting in the way. Sources have since said: "They never set a date for the wedding or got around to planning anything, and Orlando is 'over it.'' Meanwhile, despite Orlando's love for things 'reassuringly British' he's slowly but surely become a parody of an LA cliche. 90 percent vegan In 2021, he went viral for all the wrong reasons, after taking part in the Sunday Times' Day in the Life series. On an average day, he said, he woke up at 6.30am and spent time 'connecting' with his then baby daughter. He said: 'I'll do eye-gazing with her and sing songs.' Then, his day got progressively madder, as he explained: 'I like to earn my breakfast so I'll just have some green powders that I mix with brain octane oil, a collagen powder for my hair and nails, and some protein. 'It's all quite LA, really.' As well as chanting 'for 20 minutes every day, religiously', he also went hiking and built Lego. Capping off the universally-mocked feature, he explained why he was 90 percent vegan, opining: 'I sometimes look at a cow and think, that's the most beautiful thing ever'...despite the fact that, 10 percent of the time, he ate red meat. Orlando was duly mocked to oblivion for his 'normal routine' - and his reputation hasn't quite survived the wreckage. Now, as he continues to make hay while the sun shines on his very single summer, we're all wondering: are we watching him play his biggest role to date, as the world's worst - and certainly most embarrassing - ex? Sadly for Katy, Orlando may have hung up his pirate costume decades ago… but it looks like he's more determined than ever to sail the seas.
