Age: 39
From: Hinckley, Leicestershire
Occupation: Photo retoucher and studio team leader
Cooking Style: "I'm big into massive flavours and twisting up dishes to create new weird and wonderful combinations. I'm also passionate about exploring the world through my kitchen and trying dishes from new places."
Why MasterChef?: "The main reason I wanted to apply was to test what I'm capable of. I think I'm a decent enough home cook, but I want to throw myself out of my comfort zone and find out what I can really do."
Ambition: "A couple of years ago I started a food Instagram page with a couple of my oldest friends. We have great aspirations for doing something in the food sphere - making cookbooks, selling our own products, or potentially having a food truck. My dream is ultimately to make amazing food with people I love, and to share that experience with as many people as I can."
MasterChef continues Thursday at 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
