The latest series features a couple of new challenges, pushing the cooks to their ultimate limit, with chefs being introduced through heats where they will be cooking in teams of six.

After the five heat weeks, it’s knockout week, where the strongest 16 cooks from the competition return.

Split into two groups of eight, over two episodes, the cooks are tasked with creating a dish that they would put on their own restaurant menu or feature in their own cookbook, to keep their place.

So, who has managed to impress the judges?

Here's a list of all the contestants who've made it to the knockouts so far...
