TV host and chef Matt Tebbutt has said he was “only ever doing one series” of BBC’s MasterChef: The Professionals, following reports he had been “axed” from the show.
The 52-year-old has confirmed he will no longer be a judge on the BBC cooking competition after appearing on its latest series.
In a statement on Instagram on Wednesday, Tebbutt said: “A lot of lovely people have contacted me about not doing the next series of MasterChef: The Professionals.
“I was only ever doing one series and I loved judging on it and will continue working with MasterChef.”
