BBC Two - Great British Menu, Series 17, Central Judging

It’s judges’ day, and only one chef can go through to represent the Central region.

Guest judge Cat Deeley helps decide the winner from the two remaining chefs. Both have dishes celebrating iconic TV shows, including Blue Peter, Top of the Pops and Fawlty Towers.

The two highest-scoring chefs from the Central region must go head to head and cook their six-course menus again. Will they take on board their veteran’s advice as they serve to the new panel of judges?

They need to impress two-starred Michelin chef Tom Kerridge, chef and restaurateur Nisha Katona, and comedian and food podcaster Ed Gamble. There’s also today’s guest judge, the Bafta-winning Brummie Cat Deeley, who for many years was the queen of Saturday morning television. How will she judge dishes celebrating 100 years of British broadcasting?

Only one of the chefs will triumph and go through to represent the Central region at the national finals.
