Melissa Leong, Costa Georgiadis and Samuel Johnson explore the challenges facing the Australian public health system in a new three-part series The Hospital: In the Deep End.

The top pastry chefs from around the world are set to battle it out, participating in pastry-themed challenges in front of the famed "MasterChef Australia" kitchen with the winner taking home $100,000. Overseeing the competitors and challenges will be judges, food writer Melissa Leong, who previously served as a judge for "MasterChef Australia," and world-renowned chef, Amaury Guichon.

Each week, the home cooks must earn their stripes and cook their way up the ranks of the chefs' line, taking on just one chef at a time. Each night the cooks with the best plates on the pass go through to the next night, while the person with the dish that disappoints will be sent home.

A junior version of the popular MasterChef Australia series.

The contestants will be led through challenges by host Sarah Wilson which will give chefs from around the country the ultimate once in a lifetime opportunity to develop and broaden their cooking skills.

Celebrity MasterChef Australia is an Australian competitive cooking game show. It is spin-off of MasterChef Australia, itself an adaptation of the British show MasterChef, and features celebrity contestants. The first series began production in early September 2009, and premiered on Network Ten on 30 September 2009.
