The BBC has confirmed that MasterChef is coming back to our screens in just two weeks' time, with the new season starting on 23rd March.
The new season will no doubt see the usual high stakes challenges and mouth-watering dishes being cooked up, with the 8pm start time giving you just long enough to rustle up something for yourself before the show makes you too hungry.
John Torode and Gregg Wallace will both once again be returning to host.
The BBC recently announced that the series will soon be moving from its London home for the first time in more than 20 years.
From 2024, production will be moved to Birmingham, as part of a six-year deal with Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight to film the show at his new Digbeth Loc studios.
The deal also means that spin-off series MasterChef: The Professionals and Celebrity MasterChef will be made in Birmingham.
When the new location was announced, BBC director general Tim Davie said: “This is great news for Birmingham and the BBC.
"We said we would create jobs and investment, bringing decision-making and productions to the West Midlands as part of our ‘Across the UK’ plans. Moving one of our biggest programme brands shows we are making that a reality.”
