MasterChef has returned to TV screens with the launch of a new series that was filmed before hosts Gregg Wallace and John Torode were sacked.
The pair were both fired last month after a report into conduct on the cooking show upheld allegations against them.
The BBC decided to still show this year's amateur series, saying it was "the right thing to do" for the chefs who took part. But it faced a backlash from some groups, including broadcast union Bectu, which said bad behaviour "should not be rewarded with prime-time coverage".
Both presenters appear from the outset and throughout new series, which launched on BBC iPlayer on Wednesday morning, but there are fewer jokes than usual and less chat between them and the chefs.
One of the contestants has also been edited out after asking for the new series not to be broadcast following claims against the two hosts.
