Episode 6

Which celebrities will surpass the challenge from Tom Kerridge – to recreate on of his pub classics – to make it through to the semi-finals?

It’s quarter-final time, and this heat’s remaining four celebrities return to do battle once more. They all want a place in the semi-finals, but only the best three will get there.

Grace and Giorgio want to see progress, passion and even more plates of delicious food!

The first hurdle in their way is Service Is Up. The celebrities have to work in teams to provide a three-course extravaganza in just 90 minutes. And the diners? A restaurant critic and a Michelin-star chef. Yes, Grace and Giorgio take their spot at the table as the teams graft their hardest to provide restaurant-quality delights. On the Mexican-themed menu tonight is seabass ceviche, cauliflower tacos 'El Pastor' and churros with a chilli-chocolate dipping sauce. Will the celebrity teams be able to wok together in perfect harmony, or will the pressure get to them and cause a clash?

Then, just one final challenge stands between them and a semi-final place, and their fate lies in the hands of one of the country’s best-loved chefs, Tom Kerridge. Having revolutionised the nation’s idea of fine dining with his flavour-driven British classics, Tom’s pub, the Hand in Flowers in Marlow, was the first in the world to achieve two Michelin stars. Each celebrity is tasked with re-creating one of his much-loved pub classics. These recipes are close to Tom’s heart so he wants to see them executed well.

Who can step up and recreate Tom’s recipe to perfection? This is no time for mistakes because, for three celebrities, a place in the semi-finals awaits, but for one of them, the dream of taking the Celebrity MasterChef title ends here.
