In November last year, I entered the MasterChef: The Professionals kitchen<\/a> and took on its infamous skills test in the name of journalism, hoping to flex my bangers and mash prowess and ultimately impress Marcus Wareing. Instead, I disgraced myself by serving exploded sausages, half-raw potatoes and a sludge that was supposed to be onion and stout gravy.<\/p>\n

So, when the opportunity to try out Next Level Chef<\/a> \u2013 ITV1 and Gordon Ramsay\u2019s latest cooking competition \u2013 came about, I thought this could be the moment to redeem my culinary skills; to prove that my dishes are a source of pleasure and not food poisoning. I was gravely wrong.<\/p>\n

The reality competition, which is already established in the US, places 12 chefs in a 50ft-tall three-storey kitchen, with those on the top floor getting first pick from the food platform and top-of-the-range equipment.<\/p>
