Celebrity chef Gordon fronts the series which sees 12 aspiring chefs face a cooking competition like no other.

He's also joined by two mentors, Paul Ainsworth and Nyesha Arrington, who help the hopefuls.

Three chefs battled their way through many challenges to the final, but there was only one spot in the final up for grabs.

But those at home watching were distracted by a number things on the ITV cooking show.

Viewers took to Twitter to express their displeasure with Gordon's excessive swearing and the three-course meal task in the finale, as well as the overall format of the programme.

One wrote: "I feel like Gordon Ramsay swears for the sake of swearing."

Another complained: "There’s so much in post Gordon commentary in this ep - it’s a bit annoying!"

A third penned: "The finale is a three course meal? That just doesn’t really feel on brand for the show."

A fourth disappointed viewer wrote: "Still not sure I like the format."

In the end, the three chefs competed for a spot in the final, but Ronan was the one who advanced.

"Well done, Ronan you've just made it to the final," Gordon said as he clapped for the chef.

Ronan said: "Oh my god, thank you. I am so happy right now. It's an absolute dream."

"Ronan, you cooked like a pro, you finessed like a dream, but you plate like an angel," Gordon said.

Three chefs, Ronan, Jade, and Callum, have advanced to the finals next week.

Next Level Chef returns to ITV at 9pm on Wednesday for the finale.
