It’s the third quarter-final, and the four best chefs from this week's heats face two more demanding challenges. First is an invention test. The dish they create must be centred around the use of citrus, and the judges will want to see that the chefs can handle variety and execute a dish spontaneously and with zest. Then the chefs will cook for two of the UK’s most discerning restaurant critics, Jay Rayner and Tracy MacLeod. Only the two most talented chefs will go through to the semi-finals.

Four more professional chefs from around the country arrive at the MasterChef kitchen ready to put their skills to the test. After two tough challenges, two of them will be sent home while the two strongest contestants will go through to this week's quarter-final. Marcus Wareing sets the first skills test, challenging two chefs to prepare a brunch dish of potato rosti served with egg, bacon and tomatoes. The other two chefs face a test set by Monica Galetti. Timing is everything as they prepare tempura mussels with a smoked garlic aioli. The chefs can’t take their eye off the ball or they risk overfrying the delicate muscles. The four chefs then have a chance to redeem themselves of any earlier mishaps as they cook their own two-course signature dishes. They have one hour and 25 minutes to rustle up a main and a dessert that highlight their personal panache.
