Having been hand selected by the judges, 17 brand new talented home cooks arrive at the MasterChef kitchen for the very first time.

The judges announce it is the first day of Home Cooks vs Pro Cooks Week!

Today’s classic MasterChef challenge raises the question of what is more important in this kitchen: time or ingredients?

In Round One, Jamie Oliver tasks the contestants with making a delicious 15 Minute Meal.

It’s Day 3 of the competition and the contestants know that Jamie has left something for them, in the shape of the four coloured cloches.

It’s Nostalgia week and our three contestants walk in to a Pressure Test set by Gelato Messina’s Donato Toce.
