The competition continues, with familiar faces from the world of showbiz battling to prove their mettle in the kitchen. Only one can be crowned champion, but getting there will take courage, confidence and a hefty dose of culinary wizardry.\n\nOur second group of five fearless celebrities have hit the week with varying degrees of success, and the pressure is about to be stepped up as they take on two more challenges designed to assess which of them are quarter-final-ready. The one falling behind will depart today, leaving the rest to mourn their departure – briefly!\n\nThere’s a guest judge in the house, and she knows a thing or two about potatoes. Poppy O’Toole, the social media queen of the spud, who also just happens to be a Michelin-trained chef, is joining Grace and John to set today’s task. Her recipes have had over one billion views across social platforms, and now it’s for the five celebs to calm their culinary nerves as they each try their best to recreate one of Poppy’s favourite dishes. Naturally, each includes a potato element, and naturally, Poppy will be unhappy if the celebs don’t do them justice. It’s time for the celebrities to learn some tricks of the trade, which might just be their saving grace going forward. \n\nOne more task awaits the celebrities, assuming they have not scarpered under the pressure. Next, they must deliver a two-course dinner party menu, including a main and dessert, that knocks the socks off the judges and cements their place in the quarter-final. One thing is for sure: these celebs are hungry for more and will leave nothing on the table – apart from two courses they hope will seal the deal.\n\nOne star will be saying farewell, while the others press on into uncharted territory as the race to become Celebrity MasterChef champion continues.
