MASTERCHEF fans have been left distracted by a "hot" floor manager - who was brought in for the first episode of the show today.

The popular BBC cooking show returned to screens on Monday night, but viewers had their focus off the cooking before it even kicked off.

Show judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace revealed that the latest round of amateur cooks would be taking to the kitchen tonight.

The first round saw the first nine chefs taking to the kitchen.

The home cooks were given time to show off their favourite 'home' inspired dishes in the hopes of making it through.

It meant that Gregg, 58, and John, 57, would be taking to the judges' table to taste the food - leaving the kitchen floor without eyes on the cooks to ensure they were keeping to time.

The judges instead introduced a new member to the show, a floor manager that left fans at home very distracted.

Many took to Twitter to reveal they "liked the look of" the floor manager, as they begged to see "more" of him.

"Well hello, floor manager," one wrote, as another chimed in alongside eye emojis: "Oh hello to the floor manager on Masterchef."

"Can we have more time checks with the floor manager please," a third asked, as a fourth said: "Hello to Mr Floor Manager ONLY."
