MasterChef: The Professionals is back tonight with a brand new judge and 32 new chefs all hoping to become the 2022 champion. The BBC One programme will return on Wednesday, November 2 with the first round of heats.
Michelin-starred chef Marcus Wareing and celebrated MasterChef judge, Gregg Wallace, will be joined by new judge Anna Haugh, who is replacing Monica Galetti. The 2022 show, which will air over six weeks, will see the chefs compete in a series of heats, with the aim of making it to that week’s quarter-final.
In each heat, four chefs cook against one another for two quarter-final places. For those who have proven they are cooking at the next level, impressing with a food memory dish, an invention test, a pop-up challenge and more, the semi-finals and finals await.
