Applications for the hit BBC One cookery show MasterChef are now open as the programme prepares for its 2024 series.
Fronted by judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace, the reality show sees dozens of home cooks have their skills put to the test for five weeks.
The first of these tests is an audition round where the best three cooks automatically win themselves a coveted MasterChef apron and a place in the next stage of the competition.
