Having proved themselves as individual chefs in the competition so far, this is a chance for the judges to watch first-hand how the chefs work in a team. Trinity House has regularly hosted royals, prime ministers and admiralty so the chefs have to strive to cook something spectacular.

For the first time, the professionals must show they can work together as a team to create a three-course fine-dining menu for special guests at Trinity House, a maritime charity that boasts over 500 years of service to sea farers, and an exclusive London residence. Tonight the first group are set two daunting challenges by Monica and Marcus, which test them further than any previous round. Only ten outstanding chefs remain in the competition and they have been split into two groups of five. Chef Monica Galetti and Michelin-starred chef Marcus Wareing scrutinise the chefs' every move in their bid to uncover the professional chef to crown culinary superstar of 2018. Knockout week continues on MasterChef: The Professionals.
