Things are heating up as the MasterChef semi-finals kick off on BBC One on Tuesday, May 23. During the first of three episodes this week, the remaining eight hopefuls face the enormous challenge of mass catering for the Fire Service College in Gloucestershire.
The semi-finalists cook in teams for the first time in the competition. Each team will have just three and a half hours to cook and serve a feast for 120 of the emergency responders and trainers.
One of the chefs hoping to get their hands on the coveted MasterChef trophy is 28-year-old Robin, who is a Child Rights Officer who lives in Cardiff. Born in Crewe, he spent his childhood in Rome before coming back to the UK for university.
