When is the MasterChef final?

The MasterChef final is on BBC One  at 7.30pm next Friday (April 17).

Gregg Wallace and John Torode have spent eight long weeks putting the contestants through their paces to find the country’s best amateur chef.

It’s been a particularly challenging series as the contestants were all strong.

But the judges have officially found their finalists.

In a surprise twist, the judges announced that final week will be filmed in Mauritius.

What is the MatserChef 2020 prize?

The prize for MasterChef UK is the experience.

It’s considered a huge achievement to win the series and will give anyone who is crowned champion a huge career boost.

Much like The Great British Bake Off.

Over in the States, if you win MasterChef US, there’s a prize of $250,000.

But it’s the taking part that counts, eh?
