Gregg Wallace and John Torode discussed by Aggie Mackenzie
Former Celebrity MasterChef contestant Aggie MacKenzie claimed Gregg Wallace and John Torode have no relationship whatsoever.
The Scottish TV personality, 69, appeared on Monday's instalment (November 2) of Good Morning Britain to discuss the recent allegations of misconduct against Wallace.
Speaking to presenters Ed Balls and Susanna Reid, the writer recalled how Wallace and Torode would go their separate ways when they weren't on camera.
"I could see that he and John Torode didn't have a relationship," MacKenzie claimed.
She continued: "They were very different people. When the cameras were off, one went to one corner and the other went to another corner."

Referring to her long-running feud with her How Clean is Your House? co-star Kim Woodburn, MacKenzie added: "I recognised that relationship because I was in the same sort of thing in the work that I was doing."
Wallace, 60, is currently embroiled in controversy, facing claims of inappropriate sexual comments from 13 individuals over a span of 17 years.
MacKenzie, who appeared on Celebrity MasterChef in 2011, agreed with Kirsty Wark's claims that Wallace's comments were "really in the wrong place and made people uncomfortable".
The professional cleaner said: "The jokes were always smutty. It was as if Gregg was some sort of dinosaur who can't read the room and seemed to be allowed to carry on in this way."

In a video posted on his Instagram page, Wallace said: "I'm reading in the paper, there's been 13 complaints in that time. In the newspaper, I can see the complaints coming from a handful of middle-class women of a certain age, just from Celebrity MasterChef. This isn't right."
Of the comments made in the video, MacKenzie said: "Again, this illustrates how he has no insight or understanding of how he behaves. He just doesn't get it.
"He's been allowed to carry on in his own sweet way for many years and it's not come to the stage where he's lost his job. He didn't need to lose his job. He could have remedied his behaviour but I don't think he's capable of doing that."
Asked why she never made a complaint herself, the Channel 4 star explained: "I just thought, 'I'm going to be out of here. I'm not going to have to put up with this any longer.' It was someone else's problem."
