Celebrity MasterChef

Series 19: Episode 8

The third heat continues as the four remaining celebrities have their wits tested across three tasks that would make even the most experienced cook quake. All four want a place in this week’s quarter-final, but for one, the journey will end.\n\nThings kick off with the Pairs Challenge. Split into teams, each pair will need to dish up a stunning plate of food that must be identical, both in looks and taste. It’s not as simple as it sounds. Only one member of each team is armed with the basic instructions of how to make it. To avoid any sort of kitchen carnage, they will need to communicate instructions to their fellow celebrity. What can possibly go wrong?\n\nThere’s no let-up as the celebrities will remain in their pairs and head off to work in professional kitchens. This is the ultimate test of pressure and skill, and not for the faint-hearted. Dishes include some delicious Italian and gastropub fare. A frantic lunch service for the hungry public looms, and it’s down to the celebrities to deliver perfectly executed plates and keep the kitchen moving. Not easy at the best of times, but some of the dishes involve cooking over sizzling grills and hot coals. These celebrities need to take the heat of the competition.\n\nThen it’s back to MasterChef HQ, where the Street Food Market has been stocked up ready for one final test. Working individually, the celebrities must now each create their own food truck-inspired dish for the judges. These need to be plates that would cause a frenzy at a festival - that not only tickle the taste buds but also look the part.\n\nAll that’s left is for John and Gregg to decide which celebrity has not done enough to keep hold of their place. The other three will have a short time to hone their skills as they head straight through to this week’s quarter-final.
