The chefs are:
Samantha age 34 from Dorset
Daniel age 24 from London
Zak age 21 from Peterborough
Jogi age 32 from London
Jethro age 29 from Dorset.

Samantha, Daniel, Zak, Jogi and Jethro begin their bid for the coveted title with a total of three daunting tests to determine who is good enough to progress to the next round, and who must be sent home.
Cooking in a brand new MasterChef kitchen, the first challenge they face is the Signature Dish Test. The five chefs have one hour to cook one plate of food that showcases just what they can do, before one must leave.

The four remaining chefs must then take on Monica’s Skills Test followed by Marcus Wareing’s Invention Test before one of them is sent home.
