The BBC has confirmed that MasterChef<\/a> is coming back to our screens in just two weeks\u2019 time, with the new season starting on 23rd March.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

John Torode and Gregg Wallace will once again be returning, but this time there\u2019s a slight twist, as the series will no longer be filmed at its London home for the first time in more than 20 years.<\/p>\n

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