Last night Denmark kicked off for its third season of Masterchef. We will see two former Dansk Melodi Grand Prix participants trying to prove that they got what it takes in a kitchen. Against their opponents we also find a former national final host and a jury member.
Last year we saw a total of four former Dansk Melodi Grand Prix participants in the line-up for Masterchef. Last night the third season started on TV3 Demark with two former national finalists, one host and a jury member from this year’s Dansk Melodi Grand Prix:
- Noam Halby: As lead singer in the band Johnny Deluxe Noam participated in the 2009 Dansk Melodi Grand Prix where the band finished 3rd with the song Sindssyg. The year after Noam was back, this time as a songwriter for Jens Marni on Gloria. The band announced in early 2012 that they had decided to split up.
- Trine Gadeberg: It was back in 2000 we saw Trine Gadeberg participate in the Danish final. She sang the song Lykkefugl and released an album in 2001. Aside from a Christmas album in 2008 we have mainly seen her as an actress since then.
- Julie Berthelsen: In 2002 Julie Berthelsen won the talentshow Popstars and since then she has been an established singer. It was however as host we saw Julie in relation to the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix as she hosted the show in 2010 together with Felix Smith.
- Cutfather: International producer living in the US. He became known in Denmark when he was judge on X-factor. In the newly held Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2013 Cutfather was one of the jury members.
The programme:
The programme whose format originally is from BBC has been/or is running in many countries. It is quite simple: A bunch of people compete on cooking skills. Various versions of the programme has been seen over the years. Some with non famous people, who likes to cook and others with famous people known from anything else than cooking. In Denmark it is the last version, which is being used.
The three judges are all professionnel chefs: Thomas Herman, Thomas Castberg and Henrik Boserup.
