Masterchef is back for series 18 on BBC One. The popular culinary programme is returning with a brand new batch of contestants and Gregg Wallace and John Torode at the helm.
Last year's season of Masterchef was won by Tom Rhodes after he beat Mike Tomkins and Alexina Anatole in the final. The 2022 series will see 45 new passionate and talented hopefuls take part in the cooking competition.
The 2022 contestants include an NHS Worker, Theatre Director, Beer Bike Tour Guide, Childcare Worker, Bank Manager and Retired Head Teacher. All of whom are hoping to cook their way to the pinnacle of the trophy.
