MasterChef, one of the most famous shows on BBC One, is about to get a new twist. 

For the first time ever, BBC Children in Need 2023 proudly presents…Puppet MasterChef. 

Basil Brush, Zippy and George from Rainbow, Hacker T Dog and Dodge, and Tinky Winky are among the puppet legends set to invade the hallowed MasterChef kitchen of presenters John Torode and Gregg Wallace . 

The show’s catchphrase ‘cooking doesn’t get tougher than this’ is set to be mashed up and smashed to bits as the British children’s TV favourites cause chaos among the pots and pans trying to impress Gregg and John with their culinary skills.  

From the chaos, who will emerge and be crowned Puppet MasterChef for BBC Children in Need 2023?

BBC Children in Need, this Friday 17th November from 7pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
