MasterChef judges eat food while it's cooking - and don't get it all at the end

MasterChef is back on our screens for another series - and so are the behind-the-scenes tricks.

The toughest cooking show on TV sees amateur chefs battling it out to be crowned champion during an intense few rounds.

Initially running from 1990 to 2001, the series was revived with a new format in 2005 and has remained relatively unchanged during that entire time.
