The staggering prize money MasterChef winners in Italy, Australia and Canada receive - as Brit champions are left with nothing!
The judges, chef John Torode and former fruit and veg man Gregg Wallace , are returning, having hosted the show since its 2005 relaunch.
Regions still airing the franchise include India, South Africa, Ukraine, Paraguay, Sweden, Mexico, Georgia, Singapore, Turkey, Poland, Croatia, Brazil, Estonia, and Argentina. MasterChef Spain offers a similar prize with an added bonus: as well as getting €100,000 and their own recipe book, the winner gets the chance to attend the esteemed culinary school, Le Cordon Bleu. Not only does the champion gets $250,000 (£130,500) in cash and the chance to have their own cookbook published, they also receive invaluable training from leading professional chefs (Julie Goodwin (left) and runner-up Poh Ling Yeow in 2009)
