Nest week is the last of the ordinary heats. Then the following week is different and is being done to make the 20th series.

In that fifth week, there will be 10 contestants from previous series. They have been invited back to try again. I assume they won't be past champions.
The first five will first have to create a main course and a dessert for John and Gregg.
Then they will need to create their take on a classic dish . There will be a guest taster, the  2019 Professionals champion Matthew Ryle.
The three who have done best get through to the quarter final.

Second episode, as the first other than the second task is to create a dish which could be served from a food truck, guest taster, the 2019 Professionals champion Stuart Deeley.

The quarterfinals episode is similar to that in the heats other then the brief is to create a fusion of  two unrelated food cultures and cuisines onto one plate so somewhat harder. Those who get through join the others in the sixth week, Knockout Week.

No details as to who has been invited back. In the first five, there's mention of one of them being a DJ so that might be Steve Kielty from 2017 who was a runner up in the final though it may be someone else.
There's also mention in the first five of the return of a fire-breathing circus performer, That would have to be Chris Adams from last year who was a quarter-finalist. If you can't remember him:

It depends on how those 10 past contestants were selected, Baz Would be unfair to include any who had become professional  chefs.
I assume that the producers Shine TV made it clear, before production started, to all the contestants that this was going to happen. If Shine didn't, then there could be problems for them.

We were told right at the start of the first episode that there would be 58 contestants. Six plus six contestants per week equals twelve. 58 isn't divisible by 12. So I knew from the start that something was going to be different this series. Before the series started I told my brother what I thought was going to happen in the 5th week and I was correct. That was the only plausible explanation. And the BBC press release issued before the series started said that the 5th week would be"a celebration of MasterChef talent with a twist". That's was their way of telling viewers what was going to happen.
