4. When semi-finalists Olivia, Exose and Stu shared a heartwarming group hug

5. When Monica empowered her fellow female chef, Rhiannon
@MGaletti01 always have had huge respect for you and how you champion female chefs but my word how you supported Rhiannon the world needs more women lifting and supporting each other to grow in male dominated industries #respect #MasterChefUK #mastercheftheprofessionals ❤️👏❤️
