YOUNG MASTERCHEF RETURNS: MEET THE COOKS TAKING PART IN SECOND SERIES

Young MasterChef returns for a second series as nine of Britain’s best young cooks press pause on their day jobs to put their cooking skills to the test.

Judging their every move is Michelin-trained social media sensation Poppy O'Toole, who is joined by a new judge – chef, author and YouTube food star Big Has.

Britain’s food revolution is hotter than ever, and fierce young foodies, hungry for success, are paving the way with exciting street food, pop-ups and foodie followers on socials.

Those who are rewriting the rules and stirring up the industry now take another leap into the MasterChef kitchen. Who has what it takes to reach the endgame? The stage is set for the ultimate kitchen battle.
