Christmas: Episode 2
Tonight, the top three chefs from the canape and starter rounds cook for the judges. At stake is the chance to cook their dishes as part of a special festive feast for some of the key workers who were the heroes of the pandemic.\n\nTonight’s chefs are drawn from eight former winners of the competition. With 17 Michelin stars competing across the series, exceptional cooking comes as standard. Expect some incredible dishes inspired by the chefs’ personal takes on what makes Christmas special.\n\nWith Andi Oliver hosting proceedings, there is a vacancy in the judging chamber, so joining Matthew Fort and Oliver Peyton is actor and comedian Kerry Godliman. To add to the challenge, Kerry is a vegetarian, meaning the chefs are also judged on the vegetarian alternatives to their dishes. Also joining the judging panel is someone with first-hand experience of working on the frontline of the pandemic - actor and nurse Vicky Hall. Best known for roles in Teachers, Line of Duty and Casualty, Vicky became inspired to train as a nurse after shadowing one for a role and now juggles her work in hospital and on the screen.
