Nick’s pork fillet recipe, Andi’s pan fried duck breast and Alex’s wood pigeon breast impressed the judges on MasterChef: The Professionals.

Marcus Wareing, Monica Galetti and Gregg Wallace thought the three chefs showed great skills in the kitchen with their recipes and did enough to make it through to the next round.

The six chefs that entered the MasterChef kitchen tonight were:

Lucie 25, Head Chef, Dorset
Alex 23, Chef de partie, London
Tim 27, Sous chef, London
Andi 33, Senior sous chef, Cambridge
Lee 26, Chef de partie, Worcestershire
Nick 27, Sous chef, Oxfordshire.
