The ovens are on and the pots are simmering in the Masterchef kitchen with a new series having just begun on BBC One. But host John Torode says all is not creamy between himself and fellow judge Gregg Wallace. "It's funny, we've never been friends," he told the Daily Mirror, admitting they'd had "a couple of standoffs over the years", despite Wallace telling ITV's Lorraine Kelly the pair were "very close". Behind-the-scenes differences are nothing new however - here's a look at some of the most famous off-screen TV feuds.

American Idol
With two divas working together it was possibly inevitable there would be some fireworks. So Mariah Carey saying she didn't exactly enjoy her time as a judge on 2012's American Idol while working with Nicki Minaj may not be a total surprise. "Ugh. It was the most abusive experience," the singer said last year on a press tour.
There were many reports of on-set cat fighting and increasingly heated exchanges between the two stars, with producers forced to stop auditions at one point. Footage of Minaj yelling at "her highness" Mariah emerged in the media, and the rapper claimed Carey didn't want another female star on the talent show "coming to steal her shine".
The rage spilled out onto social media and former US President Obama was even questioned about it on Miami radio station Y100's The Yo Show. After just one series, both Carey and Minaj abandoned ship, with Mariah later saying in a radio interview she had "hated" every minute and it was like "working in hell with Satan". Miaow.
Spare a thought for poor Keith Urban who had to sit in between the pair to keep them apart.
