The BBC has confirmed that MasterChef is coming back to our screens in just two weeks’ time, with the new season starting on 23rd March.

The new season will no doubt see the usual high stakes challenges and mouth-watering dishes being cooked up, with the 8pm start time giving you just long enough to rustle up something for yourself before the show makes you too hungry.

John Torode and Gregg Wallace will once again be returning, but this time there’s a slight twist, as the series will no longer be filmed at its London home for the first time in more than 20 years.

Instead production has been moved to Birmingham, as part of a six-year deal with Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight to film the show at his new Digbeth Loc studios.
