There are two North East based contestants on the brand-new season of MasterChef which aired this week - but one of them had a bit of a false start, leaving him in tears over critique received and subsequently out of the competition.
The BBC show, hosted by judges John Torode and Greg Wallace sees a number of chefs cook up some of the toughest dishes in strict and stringent challenges week in, week out.
The new format sees 45 chefs overall competing over five heats before finalists for the competition are decided upon.
