The BBC is facing growing pressure to pull the new unaired series of Masterchef to stop accusers being 'triggered'.
Philippa Childs, head of broadcast union Bectu, has warned the BBC that if it airs the upcoming series of the cooking show, those who complained about Gregg Wallace and John Torode 'will legitimately feel distressed'.
It comes as a contestant for the upcoming season claimed she was 'eyed up and ogled' and said she was edited out after asking for the series not to be broadcast.
Last week, the BBC confirmed that 'after careful consideration' it will air the new series, adding that there was 'widespread support' from the contestants.
It is understood that the BBC have told the MasterChef production company Banijay that the show should reduce Wallace and Torode's screen time to a minimum in light of the report's findings.
