The two highest-scoring chefs from Scotland 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, former Great British Menu Champion of Champions Lorna McNee, and comedian and food podcaster Ed Gamble. The guest judge is modern-day hero Ben Thompson, who after the RNLI saved his life in a traumatic event at sea, went on to volunteer for them as well as becoming a firefighter, saving lives both on water and land. He also recently won a Pride of Scotland award. How will he judge dishes celebrating great Britons of the past?

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

The three talented chefs from north east England and Yorkshire are halfway through their heat, and the pressure is mounting. Once again, they each serve a unique take on the brief celebrating great Britons of the past for a banquet at historic Blenheim Palace.

The dishes are judged by Michael O'Hare, and they include venison smoked with lapsang souchong tea and a sugar-free layered dessert celebrating abolitionist William Wilberforce. But who will be leaving the competition?
