MasterChef is ushering in some huge changes in honour of the show's 20th series. Contestants on the BBC One cookery show will face both old and new challenges as they strive to become the UK's top amateur chef.
Hosted by John Torode and Gregg Wallace, the beloved series is set to return this April. Two twists will see the chefs' creativity put to the test, while another will see determined contestants jet off abroad for an exciting task.
Wallace said of the twist: "This is when the wave of ambition hits the rock of reality for these amateur cooks and we are putting them through the most extraordinary challenges we've ever seen. This show means business and we're so lucky to be able to see the level of cooking inch higher and higher each year."

He added: "I believe food brings people together and every year we're fortunate enough to be able to help incredibly talented, hard-working people realise their dream and indulge themselves in the joy that is MasterChef. This year is so exciting, with tough tests, incredible challenges and passionate cooks as always."
