He says it is his dream job - but he may have a new dream job if he lifts the trophy. He would also like to cook across India and own his own restaurant.

Radha learned to cook with her parents at home, but also at her boarding school in North Yorkshire which she attended since the age of seven. However, she said during her time at University in Huddersfield she lived mostly on takeaways and toasties.

She would like to have her own cookbook and TV show.
