The hunt for a champion continues as we welcome the final five celebrities to the challenge in the last of the heats. Trying to impress judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace are actor Scott Maslen, Strictly Come Dancing professional Natalie Lowe, TV presenter Keith Chegwin, journalist and broadcaster Samira Ahmed and former boy band member Tom Parker.

The first challenge for the five hopefuls is the invention test, the infamous test of imagination and creativity. They must use the given ingredients, including squid, chicken and mangoes, as well as a larder, to create just one dish - sweet or savoury. With nerves running high and just 50 minutes to create something from scratch, the celebrities must think on their feet to impress the judges.

With the first test over, there's no let-up as the celebrities face paying customers for the first time as they are sent to work during lunchtime service in two busy London restaurants.

Keith, Samira and Tom are sent to Almeida, where they face a real baptism of fire trying to keep up with orders in this busy modern British restaurant, while Scott and Natalie have to try to impress and master the art of the dishes at Kurobuta.

In the final test of culinary creativity it's back to the MasterChef headquarters, as the contestants are asked to prepare a two-course menu of their own design. The celebrities work furiously in a last attempt to prove themselves to the judges, because at the end of this test one of them will be going home.
