Episode 20

The remaining semi-finalists are tasked with the challenge of cooking a three-course fish lunch to celebrate 100 years of women's right to vote. John Torode oversees the kitchen as the amateurs face a high-pressured lunchtime service. The VIP diners include Dr Helen Pankhurst, great-granddaughter of Emmeline Pankhurst - leader of the suffragette movement, Baroness Hale, president of the Supreme Court, former BBC chief news correspondent Kate Adie, broadcaster Dame Jenni Murray, space scientist Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock and journalist Kirsty Wark, as well as leading female chefs and restaurateurs. Once service is complete they return to the MasterChef kitchen, where all seven cooks are challenged with creating one plate of food inspired by someone they admire. With two hours to perfect their dishes, the chefs must go all out to impress judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace, before one of them is sent home.
