The three remaining celebrity chefs compete to be crowned the 2025 champion. The challenge is to execute a three-course meal that shows just how far they have come in the competition.
The final four celebrities cook a dish dedicated to someone special, after which four become three and the remaining finalists are challenged with serving out-of-this-world cuisine at Chef’s Table.
Finals week kicks off for the remaining five celebrities, and things take a sweet turn as pastry skills and spectacular creations come to the fore.
The remaining celebrities will need to impress not just one, not two, but three of Grace Dent's fellow restaurant critics if they want to make it through to finals week.
The semi-finals continue, and two stars have already been sent home, leaving the best seven still in with a shot at glory. Grace Dent and John Torode set two challenges inspired by passion and love.
The semi-finals are here, and the celebs head back to medieval England for their first task, before returning to the MasterChef kitchen for a truly tasty cook-off.
In the pairs challenge, each team must deliver two identical portions of a dish, but only one has access to the recipe.
The celebrities are challenged to prepare a dish that celebrates bitterness, ensuring every element works in harmony. One mistake could leave a nasty taste in everyone’s mouth.
It’s pot luck as the celebs play 'under the cloche', lifting their cloche to reveal a mystery ingredient. Can they pimp up a prawn or celebrate some salmon?
The celebrities take on the pairs challenge. They will need to deliver two identical desserts, but they will be working on separate benches, and only one of them has access to the recipe.
The celebrity chefs are first challenged to serve up restaurant-quality dishes inspired by the flavours of south India and Sri Lanka, and then have to recreate their own dinner party favourites.
The celebrities take on a challenge set by guest judge and potato champion Poppy O'Toole, followed by a two-course dinner party.
Antony Costa, Gaz Choudhry MBE, Ginger Johnson, Katie McGlynn and Uma Jammeh don their aprons and take on the challenge of out-cooking each other in the MasterChef kitchen.
The remaining celebrities in the first week of the competition must work in pairs to progress to the semi-finals, but only one member of each duo knows the recipe.
