Cookery challenge. It is the semi-finals. The competition now fires up with one extraordinary challenge: to make a show-stopping dish for judges Michel and Gregg.

It's the semi-finals on Professional MasterChef. Double Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux Jnr and MasterChef dining expert Gregg Wallace now crank up the heat as they hunt for Britain's next culinary superstar who has what it takes to go to the top of the industry.

After four weeks of competing, only 8 exceptionally talented young chefs remain. The competition now fires up with one extraordinary challenge: making a show stopping dish for judges Michel and Gregg, joined by Michel's formidable sous chef, Monica Galetti.

To win over this trio of palates, they will have to cook out of their skin. With only one hour and 45 minutes to deliver, they have to make a simply sublime dish bursting with skill, flair, flavour, and of course it has to be immaculately presented. The stakes are high for the chefs who must fight for one of only six places - to stay in the competition they will have to fire on every cylinder. At the end of it, Michel and Gregg will decide which two chefs are leaving the competition.

Only the six best chefs will go on to battle for the title of Professional Masterchef.
