It's back on the 1st of April at 6.30pm for series 20, the Toad and Mr Potato head are back as well.
'The MasterChef arena opens its doors for the first of five heats, welcoming 58 amateurs from all over the UK to take on the challenge.
The first six hopefuls arrive with their sights set on one goal: to win one of the four exclusive MasterChef aprons that secure their place in the competition. Those that make it will head straight back into battle, as only the best reach the quarter-final.
John and Gregg kick things off with a brand-new challenge: Basic to Brilliant. The contestants must take an everyday ingredient and turn it into something truly spectacular. In the invention test, the contestants are tasked with creating a dish celebrating one of Gregg’s favourite foods: potato gnocchi.
The crescendo of this heat sees the remaining contestants cook their own two-course menu for three invited guests – 2023 champion Chariya Khattiyot and finalists Anurag Aggarwal and Omar Foster.
Three are guaranteed a place in the quarter-final as they compete to become MasterChef Champion 2024.'

I agree, The Pro version is the best of the lot - with much better chefs in charge!
Looking forward to the new series
They don't look very appetising
The Scottish woman can’t resist frying them.
… and a huge portion, I’d get through about a third of that, too big is too much, especially a dessert.
Still 30 minutes to go, are we going to get another set of six new contestants, if yes hope they’re better than the first six .. oops got that wrong, didn’t remember they went straight to quarter final places 😳
Not too much for me, the vets dish looked fancy but I don’t think I’d like it.
Like many ;dips', hummus can be boring or wonderful. Great with good bread and crunchy veg to dip'
Couscous is a base just like rice, pasta, mash, etc No more, no less. and ideal for North African dishes. Again it is how it is cooked and flavoured,
Tried them both and don’t like either.
