The chefs have only 10 minutes to tunnel bone a leg of lamb and tie it ready for roasting.

Cookery challenge. Five chefs have only ten minutes to tunnel bone a leg of lamb and tie it ready for roasting. The best four go forward to cook for legendary Michel Roux Jr.

Legendary double Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux Jr and MasterChef dining expert Gregg Wallace hunt for Britain's next culinary superstar who has what it takes to go to the top of the culinary world. Michel's trusted sous chef Monica Galetti helps them in their quest.

In this show, five of the ten chefs from the previous day's heat return to face Monica and Gregg in a skills test: Monica asks them to tunnel bone a leg of lamb and tie it ready for roasting. With only ten minutes in hand, the chefs have to work fast using their finest knife skills if they are to deliver. At the end Monica and Gregg must decide who will be leaving the competition. Only the best four chefs go forward to cook for legendary Michel Roux Jr. 

The pressure now mounts as the four remaining chefs face two challenges for Michelin-starred legend Michel Roux Jr. For their first classic test, Michel cooks nouilles aux fruits de mer - pasta with a light creamy seafood sauce - before asking the chefs to recreate the dish in just 60 minutes. To achieve such delicate flavours, faultless presentation and total attention to detail, the chefs have to concentrate and deliver like never before. 

Finally, the chefs are asked to prepare their own classic dish for Michel and Gregg in just one hour. With so much at stake, nerves are running high. After judging each plate on presentation and flavour, Michel and Gregg send one more chef home. 

The best three remaining chefs go through to the quarter-final, moving a step closer to winning the title of Professional MasterChef.
