The chefs face a skills test, and have one hour to recreate squid stuffed with wild rice.

Cookery challenge. Monica sets a skills test which eliminates one chef. The remaining four chefs are asked to create squid stuffed with wild rice and their own classic dish.

Legendary double Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux Jr and MasterChef dining expert Gregg Wallace are joined by Michel's trusted sous chef Monica Galetti, as they hunt for Britain's next culinary superstar who has what it takes to go to the top of the culinary world.

Five of the ten chefs return to face Monica and Gregg in a skills test before the judges must decide who will be eliminated. Only the best four chefs will cook for legendary Michel Roux Jr. For the skills test, Monica asks them to pluck and prepare a wood pigeon for roasting. With only 15 minutes in hand, the chefs have to pluck like never before if they are to deliver a perfect pigeon with skin intact. At the end, Monica and Gregg must decide who will be leaving the competition. 

The pressure now mounts as the four remaining chefs must raise their game for Michelin-starred legend Michel Roux Jr. Michel cooks 'calamars farcis aux riz sauvage' or squid stuffed with wild rice - before asking the chefs to recreate the dish in just 60 minutes. To achieve delicate flavours, stunning presentation and attention to detail, the chefs will have to dig deep to impress. 

Then, they 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 will send one more chef home. 

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