Four chefs compete for north east England with canapés, starters and fish dishes inspired by the Olympics and Paralympics, all hoping to cook at a banquet to wish Team GB athletes luck as they head for Paris 2024.

The dishes are judged by veteran chef Aktar Islam and include a Jerusalem artichoke 'winner's medal', an Olympic flame brought to life by an aubergine puree and a kohlrabi white rose with brill and champagne sauce. But who will be leaving the competition?

The two highest scoring chefs from north east England must go head-to-head and cook their six-course menus again.

They need to impress a panel of exacting judges: Michelin-starred chef Tom Kerridge, chef and top restaurateur Nisha Katona, and comedian and food podcaster Ed Gamble. The guest judge is Team GB's first ever sport climber, Shauna Coxsey. How will she judge dishes celebrating the Olympic and Paralympic games?

Only one of the chefs will triumph and go through to represent north east England at the national finals.
