Episode 24

It's the final week of MasterChef 2016. All the amateur cooks have just one goal: to lift the coveted MasterChef champion trophy.

The final amateur cooks face their most iconic and terrifying challenge yet - the Chef's Table. It's the contestants' last chance to prove they have got what it takes, because the final challenge is just around the corner.

Only three of the remaining four amateurs will get the chance to take part. For one, their MasterChef dream is about to come to an end. To fight for their place, John and Gregg challenge the amateurs to cook a classic dish with their stamp on it. Failure to impress will cost them because, after judging their dishes, John and Gregg will send one more amateur chef home.

The final three contestants now face the ultimate challenge. Culinary talent Daniel Humm has designed an exquisite three-course menu for today's lunch, and each contestant will be responsible for one of his signature dishes. The dishes require complex techniques, precise cooking and an impeccable palate. To add to the pressure, the guests are a table of the country's finest chefs - Marcus Wareing, Sat Baines, Ashley Palmer-Watts, Clare Smyth and Nuno Mendes - a set of diners to strike fear into the heart of any professional chef, let alone our three amateurs.

Emotions run high as no one wants to let Daniel or the table of esteemed chefs down. For the final three, it's their last chance before the final to prove they have what it takes to lift the MasterChef trophy.
