Why is ‘Cheryl Hole’ on MasterChef?

I don’t really care who takes part in Celebrity MasterChef, partly because I was put off commenting on such matters when one of the judges, an eminent food critic sent me some fairly strongly worded emails in response to me having a laugh – in print – about how seriously said judge took the process. After all, it is only an amateur cooking competition and not a televised race to cure cancer. But I am taking notice of the fact that Luke Underwood-Bleach, a drag queen who calls himself Cheryl Hole (geddit?) will compete in the new series.  

Let him present the hosts with as many pound shop plates of nosh as he can possibly manage, but will the BBC put a curb on any sexist behaviour? If he parades around the studio perpetuating harmful and offensive stereotypes about women, will this be dealt with? Women already have enough misogyny to contend with, and that’s exactly what I consider Underwood-Bleach’s performances to be.
