Last night's launch of the latest Junior Masterchef Australia season has attracted 524,000 metro viewers for Ten.

Another 179,000 regional viewers tuned in, taking the show’s total national audience overnight to 703,000.
A Network 10 spokesperson: “The return of Junior MasterChef delivered solid results across all platforms. They might be young but our 14 mini-MasterChefs are amazingly talented and we know everyone will love their journey. Add in our judges Jock Zonfrillo, Melissa Leong and Andy Allen – plus some of the best chefs and cooks in the country – and this season will only continue to grow.”
