Dhruv reaches 'MasterChef' semi-final

33-year-old Dhruv has triumphed in the latest MasterChef quarter-final.

New dad Dhruv impressed judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace with his pan-roasted duck breast, pickled carrot purrée, pilau rice and spiced plum sauce.

"I taste hundreds of plates of food. Rarely do I taste something as complex, yet as elegant," said Wallace about the final dish.

Speaking about his future career plans, Dhruv said: "I've got a dream of owning a small restaurant, with a bit of land growing my own herbs, veg and fruit where possible. MasterChef is the next step towards achieving that dream of mine."

Dhruv joins former factor worker Terry, ex-music industry executive Matt, children's doctor Tim and Fanny Craddock fan Stacie in the semi-finals.

The next round of MasterChef heats air on Wednesday at 8pm on BBC One.
