Claudia Winkleman welcomes the remaining three cooks back into the kitchen for one last time as they compete in the grand final. The deciding challenge is to prepare the ultimate picnic.

Three celebrities have reached the final of the first-ever Celebrity Best Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Cook, and Claudia Winkleman welcomes them back into the kitchen for one last time. This time, they face Chris Bavin's Rustle Up challenge first. Chris provides the cooks with a butternut squash, and for an added twist announces that whoever cooks the best dish will avoid the Eliminator and go straight through to tomorrow’s decisive Ultimate challenge. After an initial panic, the cooks find their rhythm and produce three outstanding dishes, leaving the judges to choose their favourite from a sweet butternut squash pie and two Thai-inspired curries. Once the Rustle Up winner is chosen, the two other contestants face Angela Hartnett’s Eliminator challenge. She sets her most difficult recipe ever, one that involves the cooks making choux pastry, caramel and a dessert centrepiece fitting for the most glamorous of celebrations. Whoever survives this challenge will return for Mary Berry's Ultimate challenge. On day two of the final, Mary asks the two contenders to produce their ultimate picnic. They must prepare four items, including one sweet item, one meat, one plant-based and one fish. A host of familiar faces return to support the cooks, as the judges announce the first ever Celebrity Best Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Cook.
