MasterChef is set to make its return to screens for its 20th series - where new home cook hopefuls will take on the 'most extraordinary tasks ever seen'.

Judges John Torode and Greg Wallace, who have been at the helm of the cooking show since its revival in 2005, will again put a new batch of contestants through their paces.

Premiering on BBC on April 1, the news series marks 20 years of celebrating and supporting the country's burgeoning culinary talent.

Fifty-eight passionate and talented hopefuls from all walks of life, such as a farmer, archaeologist and musical director, will show what they can do.
