MasterChef UK finalists had their cooking skills put to the test at Ballymaloe House and Cookery School on Tuesday night as part of one of their last challenges that incorporated local Cork produce.

Kicking off finals week on the BBC show, each of the five remaining chefs was tasked with creating a dish inspired by a public figure, a film, artwork or song, TV or book series before one of them was sent home.
