0:00:04 > 0:00:08a competition to find the best young cook in the country.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10From over 1,000 applications,
0:00:10 > 0:00:14only four cooks have made it to the final.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18Now top chef John Torode and food blogger
0:00:18 > 0:00:24and TV cook Donal Skehan have to decide which cook
0:00:24 > 0:00:29is good enough to win the title of Junior Masterchef.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40It's the final day of the competition.
0:00:42 > 0:00:47These four cooks have proved they are the best in the country.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53I really want the title now. I've got this close to it.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55I have to have it now.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59I really need to just execute it, go through and get it.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04Everything I've done on Masterchef comes down to this day.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07All my work and effort has to go into this if I want to win.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Making the final is my greatest achievement.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13I've never done something like this before.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16This is the start of a future.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18I'm just hoping I impress the judges cos I want to win.
0:01:20 > 0:01:25It means so much to me that I'm here. It's the best thing ever.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29It would be amazing if I got the title.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36They have to cook for us today their favourite three-course menu.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40The person who's going to be our champion has to show us
0:01:40 > 0:01:44they have that shine, something that really sets them
0:01:44 > 0:01:45apart from the other three.
0:01:45 > 0:01:50Four great cooks, one winner, bring on!
0:02:04 > 0:02:05Guys, you're ace.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12It's time for you to show us how good you really are.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Good luck.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Three courses, two hours,
0:02:17 > 0:02:19let's cook.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27The pressure is seriously on, but our cooks
0:02:27 > 0:02:31have us on hand in the kitchen if they need some help.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33If they were doing this at home,
0:02:33 > 0:02:36they'd need the help of a responsible adult.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41TJ has surprised me throughout this competition.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45I wasn't sure he'd hack it in the professional kitchen.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46But he blew us away.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50I'm really impressed with how you've cooked the steak.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51I think it's perfect.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54TJ has brought to us the sunshine of the Caribbean,
0:02:54 > 0:02:56full of spice and smiles.
0:02:57 > 0:03:03TJ, you promised us killer jerk chicken and you've delivered!
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I've enjoyed the whole experience completely.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Even making mistakes, I've enjoyed that.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14That's not going to whisk up. We have to start again.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Cos I'll not stop trying it until I get it perfect.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20That shows me something new.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24I am so proud. I would really like my son
0:03:24 > 0:03:28to grab that trophy and go home with it and raise it and say,
0:03:28 > 0:03:33"I am the winner of Junior Masterchef 2012."
0:03:35 > 0:03:40If I won, that'd be incredible. Just thinking about it, I'm stunned.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44I'm just going to go out there, do my best, and hopefully I'll win.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49TJ, what are you cooking for us?
0:03:49 > 0:03:54Spinach, topping it with buttered lobster and grilled prawns.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59It's going to be really spicy. And then, basil and cheese dip.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02The main course, duck with three different types of mash potato.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07Minted mash potato, creamy mash potato and sweet potato.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12I'm making it with two different types of gravy. And for dessert,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- a flourless chocolate cake. - TJ, can you get all this done?
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Yeah. Done it before and I'll do it again.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Why do you want to win Junior Masterchef?
0:04:21 > 0:04:22I want to be a world class chef
0:04:22 > 0:04:26and I want to own a few restaurants and cooking schools
0:04:26 > 0:04:28and what a way to start it off.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32- You're giving John a run for his money.- Not really.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- I'll stick to mine and he'll stick to his!- Your dream's admirable.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- Keep on doing what you're doing and you'll achieve it.- Thank you.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46For his main course, he's got pan fried duck with three types of mash.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51What's wrong with just one? There's a lot of mash going on!
0:04:55 > 0:05:00The wonderful thing about Josie is that she cooks with passion.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05She delivers great flavours.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08That's the best dessert in the competition.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Josie's a brilliant cook, but she makes little mistakes.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15I didn't put baking paper on there.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Going to have to start again.
0:05:17 > 0:05:23Being on Junior Masterchef has been so fun. I have learnt so much.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28I'm really proud of her already. She's got to the final four.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33I don't like to tell her that much because it gets her ego up.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36She's done so well.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40I'm going to put absolutely a trillion percent in
0:05:40 > 0:05:43cos it does mean a lot.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52Josie, what three dishes are you cooking today to impress us?
0:05:52 > 0:05:58A smoked salmon mousse, followed by roe venison with celeriac mash.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01And sticky toffee pudding with a toffee sauce.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06- I like sticky toffee pudding.- Got to love it. It's my absolute favourite.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10The thing today is everything you're going to do has to be precise,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- which means no silly mistakes. - No.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18I have made sure I have greased the tins for my sticky toffee pudding,
0:06:18 > 0:06:21so it should all go according to plan.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29Josie has to make sure that she cooks that venison to perfection.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Venison has a lovely rich flavour that I hope she doesn't ruin.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Guys, we're already at the halfway point.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Remember that this is for the trophy.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Tom has shown us he's a great classic cook.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54I think that's brilliant. I might even change my recipe, Tom!
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Best dish that Tom's ever cooked.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Tom has made mistakes in the past.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02The chocolate brownie isn't a chocolate brownie,
0:07:02 > 0:07:04it's a chocolate cake.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07If it was a chocolate sponge, it would have been really nice.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Just change the name.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14I think Junior Masterchef's changed me quite a lot.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18My confidence level has grown all the way through the competition.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20I'm very proud of him.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22It's an amazing experience that most kids don't get.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24It's fantastic.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26If he wins, he will have
0:07:26 > 0:07:30just surpassed my wildest expectations.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36I'm just incredibly proud of him. He's lovely.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41I'm going to feel amazing if I win it.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43It's been such a great experience.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47To win it would just be the icing on the cake.
0:07:51 > 0:07:57- Tom, your three courses?- Chilli scallops with blackberry syrup.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59For my main course, rack of lamb
0:07:59 > 0:08:02with dauphinoise potatoes and minted crushed peas.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06For dessert, I'm doing plum and cinnamon crumble
0:08:06 > 0:08:10and making my own custard. I know you'll really like them.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Why do you want to win Junior Masterchef?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Just cos it's something I've always wanted to do,
0:08:17 > 0:08:19so it's a great thing for me.
0:08:19 > 0:08:24I've enjoyed it. To not win now would be a bit disappointing.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- So you want to take it home.- Yes.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37With the crumble, he's making custard.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41It could split, curdle, be not cooked enough.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I want creamy rich delicious custard.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Jamie seriously has an incredible flair for cooking.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05Three little parcels of loveliness. It's a very good dish.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08I'm actually quite blown away by this dish.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12But he always puts too much pressure on himself.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15I think sometimes food suffers on the back of it.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Don't be so disappointed. What you've achieved is incredible.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25Thank you. Nobody's perfect, so I have had a few mistakes.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29But the journey's been really fantastic.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33I'm so happy I've got this far.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Incredibly proud.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39I can tell he's just doing what he wants to do and he's so happy.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I don't think he's got
0:09:41 > 0:09:45any nervousness about the final. I think
0:09:45 > 0:09:48he's going to go ahead and do what he does best and cook.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52If I win Junior Masterchef, it will feel unreal.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55I'd be on a different world.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Hopefully, that'll happen.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Jamie, your three courses are?
0:10:03 > 0:10:08Sweet and spicy salmon with stir-fried veg and a pea puree.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12For main, lasagne with a rocket salad.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17Then my own creation for dessert, raspberry and chocolate sponge
0:10:17 > 0:10:20with a ganache and raspberry frosting, with a raspberry on top.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Why did you choose these dishes?
0:10:23 > 0:10:28I chose my starter because I wanted some kind of spice.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30My main is comfort food
0:10:30 > 0:10:33and my dessert is just like a creation of my own.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36You've come all this way and you're at the final.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- How does it feel?- It feels amazing.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Now I've got this far, I really want the title.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52The main course, the beef lasagne, has to be really rich.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56We all have our favourite way of making lasagne.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Are we going to love it?
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Guys, it's your last ten minutes now.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11You really need to think about your presentation.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25Time's up.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Step away from your benches. Well done. Very well done.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49To start, TJ is serving spicy prawns and buttered lobster
0:11:49 > 0:11:53on a bed of spinach, drizzled in herb oil
0:11:53 > 0:11:56and served with a basil and cheese dip.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05TJ, there's a huge amount going on on this plate.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10Sweet prawns, cooked beautifully with that wonderful spice. Your lobster,
0:12:10 > 0:12:13cooked in butter, it's soft, it's got a tiny crunch to the outside.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17That's a difficult thing to get right.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21The cheese and basil sauce, I don't quite get with the fish.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Cheese and fish, for me, deserve to be apart.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28I agree with John. I think the cheese and basil sauce
0:12:28 > 0:12:31on the side takes away from it a bit.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34As you have those other really well cooked components,
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- you can afford to lose that. - Thank you.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44For his main course, TJ has pan-fried duck breast
0:12:44 > 0:12:46and served it with three types of mash -
0:12:46 > 0:12:49creamy, sweet potato and mint mash,
0:12:49 > 0:12:52made by boiling potatoes with peppermint teabags.
0:12:55 > 0:13:02TJ, more mash potato in many forms than I've seen in a long, long time.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13The amount of work on this plate, TJ, is amazing.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Your sweet potato mash is delicious.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21It goes wonderfully with that iron-rich, almost liver-like duck.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Your creamy mash potato as well is seasoned well.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Your mint mash potato is cooked well
0:13:26 > 0:13:31and has a background of fresh mint coming from the tea bags.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33But there's so much work in here,
0:13:33 > 0:13:37it's maybe just a little bit of an ambitious dish.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40As an Irishman, I'd never complain about too much spuds,
0:13:40 > 0:13:42but there's a lot of potato going on here.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45However, all the ingredients are great in there.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50And then that interesting mintiness from the addition of the teabag.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Maybe just the duck and the sweet potato,
0:13:53 > 0:13:55those components would be perfect.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01To finish, TJ's made a flourless soft chocolate fudge cake
0:14:01 > 0:14:08with poached pears, creme fraiche, pomegranate seeds and walnuts.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20What's inside this pot, young man, is delicious.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24It's warm, soothing, rich with chocolate.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27It goes beautifully with your pears.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Wow, TJ! There is incredible warmth in that chocolate pudding.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34And then the pear is beautifully poached.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- It's TJ style and I really like it! - Thank you.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40'I gave it everything I've got.'
0:14:40 > 0:14:47But some of the elements, they said it would have been best
0:14:47 > 0:14:52to keep out, so I'm just hoping I've done well enough.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00For her starter, Josie has made a horseradish salmon mousse
0:15:00 > 0:15:04with smoked salmon and melba toast.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16Smokey, rich, sweet, fresh with your lemon, it's delicious.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Thank you very much.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20But, as good as your melba toast might be,
0:15:20 > 0:15:22it's a bit burnt round the outside.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27- Just get rid of it. Don't want to eat that really, do I?- No.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29I love the smoked salmon on the side
0:15:29 > 0:15:32and the wonderful sweetness in there and what really brings
0:15:32 > 0:15:34this dish alive is the dill in there.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- I think this is really good. - Thank you.
0:15:38 > 0:15:43Josie's main is wild roe venison with celeriac mash,
0:15:43 > 0:15:48lemon carrots, sugar snap peas and a caramelised apple and chutney sauce.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59What I love is the zingyness of your carrots in there.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01You've got citrus freshness going on and then that venison.
0:16:01 > 0:16:06It's a little undercooked for my liking, but overall, the dish works.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Thank you.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11I like the celeriac mash. I think that's really wonderful.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15It tastes of autumn going with that wonderful, rich venison.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18But, across the top of it, is a sauce which became very bitter
0:16:18 > 0:16:22and slightly burnt, which is a bit of a shame.
0:16:22 > 0:16:29But otherwise, this, young man, is perfectly cooked venison.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30Fair enough.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Josie's desert is sticky toffee pudding
0:16:36 > 0:16:38with butterscotch sauce and clotted cream.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49That is possibly one of the sweetest
0:16:49 > 0:16:51sticky toffee puddings I've ever tasted.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Really beautiful, really moist,
0:16:53 > 0:16:55balanced out with that bit of cream.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- Really great desert and I would be proud of that.- Thank you.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02It's cooked really well, it's executed really well,
0:17:02 > 0:17:05there it is, pudding standing proud, rich with dates,
0:17:05 > 0:17:09rich with spice, it's great, I love it, absolutely love it.
0:17:12 > 0:17:18I'm feeling so chuffed, it's unreal. I'm just so happy.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22The comments that I got were amazing and apart from the main,
0:17:22 > 0:17:23it was absolutely great.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26So, yes, pretty chuffed.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36For his starter, Jamie has made sweet and spicy salmon
0:17:36 > 0:17:40with pea puree and spicy stir fried vegetables with a chilli sauce.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51The salmon tastes of the sea, a little sauce,
0:17:51 > 0:17:55little gems around the plate, it's really very, very good.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59I just want a bit more chilli, a bit more spice to liven it up.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00OK.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Your salmon is beautifully cooked
0:18:03 > 0:18:05and I love the crustiness on the top of that salmon.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07The only thing for me, is the fact that I think pea puree
0:18:07 > 0:18:09is kind of lost in there.
0:18:10 > 0:18:15Jamie 's main course is a classic beef lasagne
0:18:15 > 0:18:16served with a rocket salad.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29What I like the most is those chunks of meat in your ragout.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32It's like somebody has got meatballs,
0:18:32 > 0:18:35poured white sauce over the top of it, sprinkled it with cheese,
0:18:35 > 0:18:38mashed the whole lot together and given it to me on a spoon.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- I really like it. - I like your lasagne.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44I like that it has that sweetness, that richness.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47I love the creamy white sauce as well, on top,
0:18:47 > 0:18:50but I don't think it needs the salad on the side.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55For desert, Jamie has made a chocolate and raspberry sponge cake
0:18:55 > 0:18:59with chocolate ganache served with a raspberry coulis.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Wow! That dessert knocks my socks off.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16You've got sweetness and rich earthiness from that chocolate
0:19:16 > 0:19:19and then this wonderful raspberry coulis on the side
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- which is wonderfully tart. I really like this.- Cheers.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Chocolate and raspberry, great combination.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27When you've got pureed raspberry,
0:19:27 > 0:19:30sharp and sweet, it's a great, great thing.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33I like the buttery icing across the top of your chocolate sponge.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36I like the raspberry icing.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40I'm so impressed that this is your creation. Good on you.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45I'm feeling really proud that I've made them three dishes in time,
0:19:45 > 0:19:48not made a real mess of it.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51I can't do anything about it now, I'm just going to have to wait.
0:19:56 > 0:20:01Tom's starter is pan-fried chilli scallops with blackberry reduction,
0:20:01 > 0:20:03served on a bed of salad leaves.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14I really like the rings of chilli, fiery hot with those scallops.
0:20:14 > 0:20:19The detail of them by putting those criss-crosses on top is great.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Then the blackberry with the scallop. I'm not quite sure.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27It's the fishiness with blackberries, I'm finding a little bit difficult.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28OK.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31I think you could just drop the blackberries here,
0:20:31 > 0:20:34just have that wonderfully cooked scallop with some chilli in there
0:20:34 > 0:20:37and then some light dressing. I think that's all you'd need.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38OK.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Tom's main is roasted rack of lamb rolled in herbs
0:20:44 > 0:20:48on top of crushed mint peas and dauphinoise potatoes,
0:20:48 > 0:20:51served with roasted baby carrots.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Tom, this is great.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05This is the sort of food that I love to eat because it's defined,
0:21:05 > 0:21:11it's really well executed, there's creamy sauce, rich peas,
0:21:11 > 0:21:13wonderful carrots and perfectly cooked lamb.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- Delicious.- Thank you.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18I love the carrots around the sides.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21The lamb is beautifully cooked, it's sweet and still blushing
0:21:21 > 0:21:23and then that creamy dauphinoise potato underneath.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Beautiful layers there. I really can't fault this dish.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29This is a serious showstopper of a dish.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Tom's desert is a plum and cinnamon crumble
0:21:34 > 0:21:37served with his vanilla custard.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Tom, you're going to need a bigger ramekin
0:21:49 > 0:21:51because I want to dip my head straight in there.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54It is absolutely delicious. This is a fantastic dish.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58You get wonderful layers of that creamy custard
0:21:58 > 0:22:01then that crispy, crumbly sweetness from that crumbly topping.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05It is wonderful. And then the tartness of those plums underneath.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07This is really good.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09I think your custard is brilliant.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13It's not too thick, it's velvety, it's rich with vanilla
0:22:13 > 0:22:16and a wonderful crispy, crumble top. Really delicious,
0:22:16 > 0:22:18for me, brilliant.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22I'm feeling really happy right now. I gave it everything I've got.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25It was a really tough thing to do, so, yeah,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27I'm really proud of myself.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41All four of them have got to be really proud of what they've done.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46TJ, today, he decided he wanted to show off every single skill
0:22:46 > 0:22:49that he's learnt throughout this competition.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53I'm wondering if he tried a little bit too hard.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56In his starter, we had that addition of the blue cheese and the basil.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01With fish, I just don't think it works. It was a little bit too much.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04However, I still like the fact that TJ is confident.
0:23:04 > 0:23:10He comes in here and he works really hard. I think TJ's got real skill.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Today, Josie cooked some great food.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18There was a mistake on the main course, the sauce was a bit burnt
0:23:18 > 0:23:20and gone a bit crispy.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24The wonderful thing about Josie is that we have seen her change.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27She's proved that she can present beautiful dishes
0:23:27 > 0:23:29and not make the mess.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Jamie, throughout this competition, has been really adventurous
0:23:32 > 0:23:34and today was no change from that.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37We had a sweet and sour salmon.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39For me, I would've liked more chilli to bring it alive.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42What I love about Jamie, he comes into this kitchen
0:23:42 > 0:23:46and he shows us that he can create something beautiful.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Talk about Tom. Chilli on the plate with the scallops, great idea.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Scallops and blackberries, I think probably a risk a little bit too far.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59On the other hand, he blew us away with those two other dishes.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02When he gets it right, he executes it beautifully.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14It'll mean everything for me to win, to be honest.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18I just really want to come home with the trophy. Fingers crossed.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20That would be awesome.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24I'm feeling sad because this is the end of a journey.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29Hopefully, it's the beginning of a new one, if I win.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Hopefully my dream will come true.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing I will really never get to do again.
0:24:39 > 0:24:44I just hope I do win, really, yeah.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51It feels really sad but also special
0:24:51 > 0:24:55just because it's the last things I'll ever cook on Masterchef.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59I'm really hoping I've done enough
0:24:59 > 0:25:02because winning it would just be amazing.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08There is one person in here who I think, today,
0:25:08 > 0:25:09deserves to take that title.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13The other three, they deserve also to have something special,
0:25:13 > 0:25:16to be crowned with something that just says,
0:25:16 > 0:25:19"You guys have worked so hard and delivered beautiful food."
0:25:19 > 0:25:22But for me, today, we have a champion.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39This is it, guys.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45We have had so much fun watching you cook over the last few weeks.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48But of course, we can only have one champion.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Our Junior Masterchef Champion is...
0:26:04 > 0:26:06- Tom.- Thank you.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11- Nice one, mate. - Well done, Tom. Well done.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12Well done.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17- That's pretty good.- Yes.- Well done.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Congratulations, Tom.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24OK, that's cool.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Oh, well!
0:26:27 > 0:26:29I'm just so proud for him.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34He must be feeling absolutely ecstatic.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37I'm feeling a little bit disappointed.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40I'm so proud I've got this far, to be in the last four
0:26:40 > 0:26:42and do all the challenges.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45It actually happened. It's just fantastic.
0:26:45 > 0:26:52Definitely, this experience is the biggest part of my childhood
0:26:52 > 0:26:56and when I'm really old, I'll remember it forever.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01I've had so much fun. It's just been so great.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05I think we all kind of knew in our hearts that it would be Tom
0:27:05 > 0:27:08because he deserves that so much.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12- You get the trophy.- Thank you. Yeah!
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Never thought I'd do it. It's amazing.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Throughout this competition,
0:27:18 > 0:27:23Tom has delivered us some of the best food we have tasted.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26His food is clean, it's crisp, it's classic, it's brilliant.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27The guy is a great cook.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33It's been my dream ever since I was really tiny to win Masterchef.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35To win this, it's astonishing.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Definitely the biggest achievement I've had in my life.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46Very proud, very proud.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51I'm Tom, the Junior Masterchef Champion 2012.
