Second MasterChef Contestant Edited Out 

A second MasterChef contestant has been edited out of this year's scandal-hit series. 

A spokesperson for the show's production company, Banijay, said: "One other contributor decided that given recent events they would like not to be included. We have of course accepted their wishes and edited them out of the show."  

Another contestant, Sarah Shafi, was also removed from the series after asking for it not to be broadcast, following a report which upheld claims against hosts Gregg Wallace and John Torode.  

The BBC decided to still show this year's amateur series, which was filmed before the pair were sacked, saying it was "the right thing to do" for the chefs who took part.  

In the event, both Wallace and Torode remain in the series, which began last week on BBC One and on iPlayer.
