Five of the ten chefs return to face Monica and Gregg in a skills test before the judges must decide who will be eliminated. Only the best four chefs will cook for legendary Michel Roux Jnr. For the skills test, Monica asks them to prepare and bone out a whole seabass for stuffing, and make a seabass tartare. With only 15 minutes to deliver it is seriously tough for the chefs who must show off their knife skills, then wow the judges with a perfectly tasting tartare. At the end, Monica and Gregg must decide who will be leaving the competition.

The pressure mounts as the four remaining chefs must raise their game for Michelin starred legend Michel Roux Jnr. Michel cooks a classic recipe of 'tarte chocolat-framboises', chocolate tart with raspberries, before asking the chefs to recreate it in 60 minutes. Nerves are palpable as the chefs battle to produce a beautifully plated dessert.

Then, they are given just one hour to prepare their own classic dish. With only three places up for grabs, there is a lot at stake to pull out all the stops.

Only the best three remaining chefs will go through to the quarter final and move a step closer to winning the title of Professional MasterChef.
