Celebrity MasterChef

Series 21: Episode 5

The second round of heats continues, with five celebrities facing two more culinary challenges as they battle for a place in this week's quarter-final.\n\nFirst up – it’s the return of the mystery box. Under their boxes, the celebrities find a mystery ingredient. They have one hour to invent and cook a dish with it. This time, it’s chilli and spice, and it will take all the celebrities’ imagination, knowledge, and skill to come up with a dish that not only stands out but shows skill with heat! \n\nThen, for the first time in their heat, they have to cook to stay in the competition. And they aren’t just cooking to impress Grace and Giorgio. This crucial round is called Who’s Coming to Dinner? Each week, a special guest sets a culinary brief for the celebrities, who then have to make something worthy of a quarter-final place. This week, TV and radio broadcaster Zoe Ball enters the MasterChef kitchen, and she’s looking for the celebrities’ ultimate pudding. What will win her over? Something classic and traditional? Or is she looking to be surprised by something creative and inventive?\n\nEverything will need to be on point, as at the end of this task one celebrity will be heading home, and nobody wants to be out first.\n\nThe four remaining celebrities will be counting their lucky stars as they head into the quarter-final, one step closer to their dream of being crowned Celebrity MasterChef Champion 2026.
