Episode 14
Knockout week continues and the ten remaining professionals are split into two groups. The contenders step out of the MasterChef kitchen for the very first time, cooking for their toughest crowd yet, and then return to compete for a place in the semi-finals.
In this edition, five chefs take over Market Halls in central London, which is the home of some of the country's most exciting and eclectic food pop-up stalls. The professionals take charge of the market and deliver their own tasty treats for 22 of the biggest movers and shakers in the pop-up scene. They have three hours to serve up one dish each for the diners, but the quality of the food leaving the kitchens will need to be world class. This is a chance to see how the chefs cope with working in cramped spaces and with unfamiliar equipment.
These diners know what it takes to succeed in this business, and their opinion on the culinary creations matters more than ever, as they will all vote on the dish that impressed them the most. The chef who cooks the winning plate of food will sail straight through to the semi-finals.
The verdict is delivered back at the MasterChef kitchen and the four who fail to come out on top will cook again. Their brief is a tall order: to prepare a dish that celebrates their favourite drink. Whether their inspiration is beer, fine wine or a cup of tea, the level of creativity will have to be through the roof, as the judges will be calling last orders for one unfortunate chef.
At the end, the best three will have cause to celebrate getting one step closer to becoming MasterChef: The Professionals Champion 2024.

The Masked Singer
Part guessing game and part singing show, The Masked Singer sees 12 famous faces compete to pull off the best performance, with their identity elaborately and imaginatively concealed, thanks to an expert team of talented costume designers. The stars will be transformed and they will take on a masked identity and become a fantastic character which will disguise them for the whole series.
Forget any thoughts of fancy dress – they'll be full-on, original, movie-standard creations taking inspiration from worlds as varied as manga, superheroes, and wild animals and mythical creatures. Their transformations will be total, even their speaking voices will be disguised in interviews.
It will be up to a superstar panel to lead the viewers at home in their quest to discover who they are. Although the stars aren't judged on their voices, they'll still need to give their best performance – the audience's least favourite will be eliminated, before the panel try to guess their identity and unmask them.
