MASTERCHEF: The Professionals is set to make a return to BBC One on Monday, November 8, 2021.
The show sees thirty-two professional chefs go head to head in the hopes of impressing the notoriously tough MasterChef judges.
The first four episodes of MasterChef: The Professionals will see the thirty-two contestants whittled down to just eight over the course of several heats.
The surviving Chefs will then face a series of guest judges and even be challenged with opening their own pop-up restaurants.
Eventually, just one talented cook will be crowned the winner.
So far, the only contestants that have been announced are those competing in the first heat on November 8, 2021 – here they are in full!
Anthony is one of the eight professional chefs set to compete in the first heat of the show.
John is heading into the MasterChef kitchen this year.
Rhodri will be hoping to be one of just two chefs to make it past the first heat.
Budiono is one of the contestants in Masterchef: The Professionals 2021, but fans will have to wait and see how he’ll get on.
Dan will be competing for a place in the semi-finals on November 8.
Lauren is the only female contestant introduced so far.
Nico is one of thirty-two contestants hoping for a place in the Masterchef: The Professionals semi-final.
Aaron is the final contestant appearing in the first heat, which will kick off the new season on November 8.
Alex Webb won the 2020 edition of the show, after impressing the judges with his expertise and imaginative cookery.
Having become a chef aged just 14, 25-year-old Alex was the youngest contestant competing in the final – but he did have some impressive credentials, including a stint working at The Savoy in London.
At the time, Webb was the Head Chef at Square 1 in Great Dunmow.
MasterChef: The Professionals will be kicking off a brand new season on November 8, 2021.
The show will air at 7.35pm on BBC One – before repeating an hour later at 8.30pm.
There will also be episodes on Thursday 18 November and Friday, the 19th.
