This week sees the heats for Yorkshire and north east England. Four newcomers to the programme are competing this week: Sheffield-based Luke French, who runs his Nordic/Japanese influenced restaurant Jöro; Yorkshire-born Liz Cottam, whose restaurant Home opened in 2017; Mark Aisthorpe, chef patron of The Bull's Head in Holymoorside; and Kerala-born Bobby Geetha, chef patron of Fleur Café in Leeds.

Presenter Andi Oliver welcomes them to the kitchen, where the theme for this year’s competition is a celebration of 100 years of British broadcasting. One of the four must leave the competition at the end of the episode, to be decided by this week’s veteran judge - a previous winner who remains a surprise to the chefs until the moment they walk into the kitchen to taste the first course canapes.
