This season, contestants compete in teams in the ultimate David vs Goliath battle. In the first challenge, they must cook a dish which recognises their strengths.

On day two, the room is set up for a massive service challenge. One team are at a clear advantage, with most of them well-versed in operating in commercial kitchens.

The contestants have a good old-fashioned lucky dip, where each row of cloches has a different theme - fruit & vegetables, herbs & spices, pantry items, and a curve cloche.

The two teams must use the MasterChef food pyramid as their pantry - with different layers for fruits, grains, proteins, and sweets.

The first MasterClass of the season, in which Andy and Jock plan to take on the mystery box from Monday's challenge.

The contestants are split into two teams for a decisive service challenge. They are tasked with preparing a starter, main and dessert that will impress both the judges and their loved ones.
