Who are the judges for Next Level Chef and what is the show about?

Next Level Chef, which is fronted by Gordon Ramsay, Paul Ainsworth and Nyesha Arrington, sees 22 chefs compete to provide dishes in three kitchens which are housed on three different levels. The lowest level represents the worst kitchen on the show and the top level is the best.

The chefs muse use ingredients which they have seconds to select via a moving platform, but they must use what they choose AND have to get their dishes back to the platform on time. For the first time ever, home cooks will compete against professional chefs and social media chefs in the competition, with each participant hoping their dish will be finished in time to be tasted by their mentors.

The winner of the the competition claims the title of Next Level Chef and wins a £100,000 prize, plus a year long mentorship from Gordon, Paul and Nyesha.
