Masterchef: The Professionals is a reality show for young chefs in the industry “who want to make it to the top of the culinary world.” It is aired on BBC Two, Tuesdays to Thursdays, at 8pm. “But it’s also a very exciting industry because you get a lot of praise as well – and people love food.” “There’s also a massive shortage of chefs because there’s not enough wages for the work that you do. A group of established chefs must demonstrate their basic skills and whip up their signature dishes for a chance to become the next culinary superstar. From GPs, customers, fellow chefs, and you’ve got to be really strong to run the kitchen because people can walk all over you and make you take the blame for things. They don’t usually have ego and they just go with the flow really. He said: “I hope that one of the girls wins this year, because I think they’ve done really well considering it’s a really man-dominated industry.

Jamie said he would like a female to win the TV series in the hope that they inspire more young girls to become chefs. “I’m cheesed off that he wasn’t able to see it, but I’m sure I made him proud.”

My dad died in February so I applied again and got it. “I’d applied two years ago and didn’t get through. So I just thought let’s give this a go and make the guy proud. When you lose a loved one you can get really lost in life, you don’t know which way to go and you’re on your own. Jamie, who lives with his fiancee Melissa and son Noah, 1, was one of three contestants eliminated but believes his dad, who died in February, would have been proud.

“If I had named the dish differently, I could have gone through.” “I had some good feedback from the judges, but when it came back to the signature dish, the name of it let me down. “I was the only one who did really well on it,” said Jamie. He said the name of his signature dish let him down in the skills test where chefs cook in front of judges Marcus Wareing, Monica Galetti and Gregg Wallace. The senior sous chef at the Bedford Lodge Hotel & Spa said the show had been “the highlight of his career”. Jamie, 30, who was eliminated from the show after the ‘skills test’ last night despite impressing the judges, said he was still buzzing. Newmarket chef Jamie Mountford says appearing on the BBC’s MasterChef: The Professionals has given him a massive confidence boost.
