The new season of MasterChef begins on BBC One this week, with Gregg Wallace and John Torode returning to host the 18th season of this long-running culinary competition.

With a new line-up of amateur chefs entering the MasterChef kitchen, the opening episode will see the first nine contestants face the audition round of the contest as they cook their signature dish in the hopes of impressing Torode and Wallace, who’ll be eating them in the show’s new Tasting Room.

As per usual, the season will air across several weekdays over the next few weeks, but when is the show on?
