What is Future Food Stars and how does it work?

Twelve contestants will battle it out in a series of challenges.

Each week one contestant will be eliminated before the TV chef, Gordon Ramsay, awards £150,000 of his own money to the winning entrepreneur.

The winner will be the one who is able to prove they have what it takes to transform the food and drink scene.

According to an official synopsis for the series: "Gordon’s always been at the cutting edge of the food industry, and he's prepared to put his money where his mouth is by backing the winner with an investment to take their idea to the next level."

"This isn't a man who suffer fools, and Gordon will push all 12 candidates to their limits through a series of relentless challenges inspired by his highly successful career.
