Big Has is a chef, author and YouTube food star with over 40,000 subscribers to his channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prior to joining Young MasterChef, Has graduated from Jamie Oliver\u2019s Fifteen programme, which saw him go on to spend the next 10 years cooking in high-end kitchens all over London.<\/p>\n

However, this was until Covid hit, and Has continued his passion for cooking online through creating Sunday Sessions on YouTube.<\/p>\n

In more recent years, Has published his first cookbook, HOME<\/a>, and his second book is due to be published in autumn 2024.<\/p>

His other TV show projects include featuring on Channel 4\u2019s Sunday Brunch and The Big Breakfast, as well as Celeb Cooking School.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a major honour to be involved in a show as prestigious as MasterChef,\u201d Has said of his new role on the series.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeeing the contestants\u2019 eagerness to learn and show off their backgrounds through food is something that I\u2019m all about.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really enjoyed being a guest on the last series. Like food, you\u2019ve got to leave people with a good taste of who you are, and luckily the producers bought what I was \u2018cooking\u2019!\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked what viewers can expect from the new season, Has said: \u201cThey can expect laughs, a couple shockers, good food (or scran, depending where you\u2019re from), big energy from our contestants, a couple famous faces and an amazing final.\u201d<\/p>\n

Young MasterChef returns to BBC Three and BBC iPlayer on Monday 8th January at 8pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n
