Get to know MasterChef 2024 contestant Chris, including their age, profession and hopes for the competition.

Age: 44

From: Henley-On-Thames, Oxfordshire

Occupation: Circus artist

How did you fare on the show last time?: "I first appeared in MasterChef in Series 19 in 2023 and got all the way to my Quarter Final. I was super happy to have left with the title under my belt. I wished I had gotten further that year, but I loved every second being in the MasterChef kitchen and meeting John and Gregg. It has always been my dream experience the world of TV. I have watched MasterChef from day one when it first ever aired, I'm a super fan! I never dreamt I would find myself on it one day. I learnt so much about myself as a cook."

Cooking Style: "My cooking style is theatrical, visual and packed with flavour. I really enjoy MasterChef briefs that make my mind dream away. I'm a firm believer in the power of dreaming and imagining. There are endless possibilities and outcomes of dishes. I am a maximalist and enjoy elevating every part of the flavour and presentation of dishes with unique foods that I find. I love experimenting and showing off my background in performance and theatre."

Ambition: "My food dreams grow every day. I would love to write a cookbook about 'theatrical meals' and help people find a new way not only to cook but to entertain friends, combining food with theatre. I would love to travel to unique remote places around the world and make travel documentaries focused on different cuisines and food cultures. My ultimate dream would be to direct and create a menu for my own immersive dinner theatrical experience in an intimate dining room."

MasterChef continues tonight at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
