It's the last week of the heats, and these are the last six chefs to battle to make it through the competition. They face two tests - first, the daunting skills test, followed by the signature dish round where the chefs cook a dish from their own repertoire. Only the strongest three chefs who demonstrate the skills and technical know-how of a future champion will make it through to the quarter-final.\n\nThe chefs' first task is to undertake Marcus's skills test in front of the vigilant judges Monica, Marcus and Gregg. The chefs have 20 minutes to prove that they have the skill and technique to cook rose veal sweetbread. The added challenge is to serve it with a well-judged garnish and sauce, in a true test of their palate and understanding of the flavours that work with offal. Sweetbreads need lots of TLC in the kitchen to be cooked to perfection. Can the chefs take the heat of the skills test to provide a melt-in-the-mouth dish for the judges or with time against them, will they struggle to impress?\n\nThe six chefs now have one last chance to use their style, technical skill and flair to wow the judges in the signature dish challenge. In one hour and 15 minutes the heat is dialled up as the professionals battle to create a tried and tested dish of their own which will impress enough to secure them a place in the next round. Once the judges have tasted their dishes, they must decide which three chefs will go home and which three will return for the last quarter-final and continue their fight to be crowned MasterChef: The Professionals Champion 2017.
