Into the kitchen and under the spotlight. Amateur cooks duel it out as John Torode and Gregg Wallace turn up the heat.

Week four of the heats has arrived, and 12 fresh-faced contenders are pinning their hopes on winning a MasterChef apron - their ticket to progress in the competition. Only the best on the day will make it into this week’s quarter-final and still be in the running for the title. Four sparkling MasterChef aprons are on offer, as John and Gregg ask the first six contenders to transform a chosen everyday ingredient from Basic To Brilliant. There have been some ingenious plates delivered so far, so the bar is extremely high. Restaurant-quality dishes will be expected from the hopefuls, who include a doctor, a lawyer and an actor. This is the first time the judges will sample their cooking, so they will be hoping for plates that sing with personality. It’s straight through for the two strongest as they try their MasterChef aprons on for size. The stakes are high for the remaining cooks, who need to come back fighting as there are only two more aprons up for grabs. To win one, they will need to think on their feet and produce a stunning dish featuring prawns. The bountiful larder is there for the odd flourish, and they will have just 45 minutes to show John and Gregg what they are made of. The two who manage to make their prawns pop will don the prized remaining MasterChef aprons. The action-packed episode ends with the true test of endurance. The four best cooks must prepare an exquisite two-course menu for three diners who have all faced this pressure head-on: 2007 MasterChef champion Steven Wallis, 2021 finalist Alexina Anatole, and 2006 finalist Dean Edwards. They, along with the judges, will be anticipating food that hits a high standard and leaves them wanting more. So the average dinner-party dish will not be enough, and the cooks must pull out all the stops to impress. All four will be hoping to hear their name announced as a quarter-finalist, leaving two sorely disappointed as their dream of becoming the next MasterChef champion comes to an end.

It's the last chance for MasterChef novices to enter the arena, as six new amateurs give their all to win the right to wear a gleaming apron. Get through this round, and an incredible journey awaits as the quest for the MasterChef title continues. First up, John and Gregg are after a dish that celebrates an everyday ingredient and puts it on the pedestal it rightly deserves, turning it from Basic to Brilliant. The creations include influences from Italy, China and South Africa. Whether they taste any good is another story. That’s down to John and Gregg who must pick the best two and hand over the ultimate kitchen accessory, the MasterChef apron, and their ticket straight into the next round. It's not over yet for the other four, as they can still progress by proving to John and Gregg that they can think on their feet. Each of them has been presented with a butternut squash. Their job is to deliver a tasty plate of food in 45 minutes that wows the judges and celebrates this versatile ingredient. After the tasting, one more will be leaving the competition. It's then time for the four apron wearers to return to their cooking station ready to make their ultimate two-course menu. They will also be feeding three hungry diners – all MasterChef champions in their own right: 2013 champion Natalie Coleman, 2018 winner Kenny Tutt, and 2021 victor Tom Rhodes. It’s a tall order for the hopefuls, who have just 75 minutes on the clock. Nothing will get past these guys, and only cooking of the highest order will be worthy of praise. Armed with the diners’ input, it will be down to the judges to deliver their verdict and choose the three amateurs to continue in the race to become MasterChef champion 2024.

It’s quarter-final time, as this week’s six best cooks don their well-earned MasterChef aprons ready to bring their A-game. A place in Knockout Week is now within touching distance, but any slip-ups might cost them the competition. John and Gregg have invited a special guest to set the brief – one of the country’s most exciting culinary stars, April Jackson. They will have 90 minutes to deliver a dish that celebrates cheese. April loves everything about cheese, but she wants something that will truly linger in the memory. Every cheese offers its own strength and taste, so this really is a test that will get the amateurs’ creative juices flowing. After a total cheese-fest, it’s down to the judges to pick their favourites. There’s only room in Knockout Week for three, and the lucky ones that make it will be well on the way to MasterChef stardom.
