Episode 2

The remaining four contenders in heat one must cook a classic dessert, a vegetable dish and a recipe from the eclectic menu of chef Chantelle Nicholson's restaurant Apricity.

This first heat continues with the four remaining celebrities facing three more culinary challenges and hoping to earn a place in the quarter-final.

Tonight’s first challenge is a Knowledge and Skills Test, where the celebrities have the terrifying task of facing judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace one on one. They must demonstrate their ability to make a classic dessert of floating islands in crème anglaise in just 20 minutes.

Next, the celebrities are pushed to their limits. Up until this point in the competition, they have been cooking food as they would at home, but to show them what restaurant standard cooking is all about, John and Gregg invite professional chef Chantelle Nicholson to the MasterChef kitchen. Owner of restaurant Apricity, Chantelle has worked in Michelin-starred kitchens for over 15 years and now asks each of the four celebrities to cook a recipe from her eclectic menu.

Ultimately, it’s crunch time as there’s just one more chance for the four celebrities to earn themselves a place in the quarter-final. Their brief to stay in the competition is to cook one dish where vegetables are the hero. With just one hour to cook and only three quarter-final places up for grabs, the celebrities give it their all in a final attempt to prove themselves to the judges. At the end of this test, one of them will be going home.
