After five weeks of fiercely competitive heats, 16 amateur cooks remain to battle it out in Knockout Week. All of them have just one goal: to lift the coveted MasterChef trophy.

Over the next two nights, the heat intensifies as the contestants are split into two groups. The first group of eight returns to compete for the chance to experience the pressure of a professional kitchen for the first time. They must cook a dish for John and Gregg that they would have on the menu of their own restaurant or feature in a cookbook. After this challenge, three of them will be going home.

The remaining five contestants then head to east London, where they will be working under one of the country鈥檚 most exciting young talents, chef Rafael Cagali. Originally from Brazil, Rafael mastered his trade working for some of Europe鈥檚 legendary Michelin-starred chefs. In 2019 he opened Da Terra, serving dishes inspired by his South American roots and the time he had spent in Europe and Asia. Within eight months, his restaurant had earned its first Michelin star.

During a busy lunch service, the five amateurs will be entirely responsible for serving the restaurant鈥檚 menu to paying customers. Who will buckle under the intense pressure as they cook in a demanding and totally new environment?

In a competition where only the food matters, these amateurs will need to stand out to survive - taking another precious step towards being crowned MasterChef champion 2020.
