Finals week continues, and the last four get the chance to take part in one of the most exciting Chef's Tables in MasterChef history, but only three of them will make it. Those that do will be in for an experience money can't buy and secure their ticket to this year's grand final, where one will be crowned MasterChef champion 2025.

The four finalists are asked to put their twist on a classic dish. These dishes are classics for a reason - they are tried, tested and loved. Can the amateurs take theirs to the next level, without losing the heart of the original? Amongst the dishes being reworked tonight are beef wellington, the full English breakfast and the Sunday roast. With so much at stake, nobody will play it safe.

The judges then have to make their toughest decision to date – which three have shown enough skill to go through to the final? At this point, it all comes down to the finest of margins.

The three lucky ones will be counting their blessings as they're about to have one of the most exciting opportunities ever seen on MasterChef. It's time for Chef's Table, which this year is being held at the exclusive Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester Hotel restaurant in Mayfair. They will prepare lunch for Alain himself, who holds a staggering 21 Michelin stars to his name, along with four of his proteges: Tom Kitchin, Clare Smyth MBE, Claude Bosi and Alex Dilling, who all have amassed their own collection of Michelin stars.

This would be an intimidating proposition for even the most seasoned chefs, never mind three cooks who, a few weeks ago, had never entered a professional kitchen. To add to the already stratospheric pressure, each takes on one of the restaurant's celebrated dishes – the epitome of modern French haute cuisine. If they can impress today, who knows what the future might hold?

Running today's Chef's Table is Alain's executive chef Jean-Philippe Blondet. He's worked with Alain for over 20 years and will expect nothing short of impeccable cooking from the three contenders.

After such an intense cooking experience, the finalists will have one more job: prove they have the skills to take home the MasterChef 2025 trophy. Next stop? The grand final.
