Who is MasterChef contestant Chloe Milburn?

Chloe, 26, works as a Senior Account Manager at independent marketing agency in Leeds. She has previously worked as a Sales Assistant in Ann Summers.

In 2012, he graduated from the University of Nottingham with a 2:1 in English Studies.

Chloe has been engaged to her boyfriend, Paul, since November 2014.

She says she enjoys cooking for her friends and family, but admits she's not so great when it comes to the timings.

She said: "I think the timings are going to be the biggest challenge for me because I'm quite a leisurely cook.

"I'm a massive feeder. I absolutely love feeding people!"

Chloe made it through to the quarter-finals by cooking a starter of pan-fried scallops with lime mayonnaise, pan-fried duck for main and a chocolate molten cake with a berry and pecan brittle for pudding.

She won over viewers with her simple dishes.

One viewer wrote on Twitter: "I’m really liking Chloe! Simple food but cooked & presented amazingly, yesss girl 🙌🏽👩🏼‍🍳 #MasterChef"

Another said: "I think we have a potential winner - Chloe. Great cook, very confident #Chloetowin!"

A fourth said: "Whoa Chloe might be young but gosh she can't half cook! #Masterchef"

John Torode said Chloe was his cook of the day.

How does MasterChef work?

The format of MasterChef sees amateur cooks competing through a variety of heats and quarter finals until the ultimate winner is crowned.

“Competitors face a gruelling series of culinary challenges as they first have to get through their heat and quarter final.

"From inventing dishes on the spot, to cooking their own menu for the nation’s fiercest food critics, the pressure is on from the very outset.

"Only a handful survive to take part in the semi-final and final challenges.”

Gregg Wallace and John Torode judge the dishes being served - with all the action, tantrums, successes and burning disasters caught on camera.

The winner walks away with a trophy and the prestige of being THE master chef of the series.
