This season, contestants compete in teams in the ultimate David vs Goliath battle. In the first challenge, they must cook a dish which recognises their strengths.

On day two, the room is set up for a massive service challenge. One team are at a clear advantage, with most of them well-versed in operating in commercial kitchens.

The final two contestants must impress both the judges and chef Heston Blumenthal across the course of two scored rounds. The chef who prepares the best dishes will be crowned MasterChef 2022.

The contestants have a good old-fashioned lucky dip, where each row of cloches has a different theme - fruit & vegetables, herbs & spices, pantry items, and a curve cloche.

The first MasterClass of the season, in which Andy and Jock plan to take on the mystery box from Monday's challenge.

A classic service challenge with guest chef Shannon Bennett. Each team must prepare a French-inspired entree, main, and dessert for 20 diners and the judges.
