Celebrity MasterChef (UK) S19E04-E06 (1080p, soft English subtitles)

E04
The remaining three celebrities are back for the ultimate heats showdown of the quarter-final. At stake is a place in the semi-finals and the opportunity for an adventure of a lifetime. For one star, it will be game over. A single corker of a challenge awaits them in the dinner party round. The celebrities will need to each cook up a storm as they prepare a two-course menu for some of their peers, who have all been there, done that and worn the apron. The diners are 2020 champion Riyadh Khalaf, 2021 finalist Joe Swash and 2022 finalist Kitty Scott-Claus. These three aren’t likely to beat about the bush if the food isn’t up to scratch. If previous years are the benchmark, the offerings should be spectacular. As always, the view of the diners will play a key part in John and Gregg’s decision. Only two celebrities will end the day with smiles on their faces as they whizz through to the semi-finals. The race for this year’s Celebrity MasterChef title is well and truly underway.

It’s time for the second heat week, which will see five brand new but very familiar faces enter the MasterChef arena. Hoping to win a place in this week’s quarter-final are ‘Gladiator’ and Team GB sprinter Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, actor Danielle Harold, comedian and actor Eshaan Akbar, actor Rochenda Sandall and reality star Chloe Burrows. There’s little time for chit-chat as they dive straight into their first task - Under the Cloche! Each celebrity picks a silver dome, under which lies a secret ingredient. They have just 60 minutes to create a dish that celebrates their chosen treasure. Amongst the ingredients are duck, pear and chicken livers. First impressions are everything, and John and Gregg are hoping for five plates of total deliciousness. Next, all five have one more chance to keep their place in the competition as they cook up their dinner party dishes. This time, the pressure is on to deliver two divine plates of food that would satisfy the most demanding guests. Nobody wants to be first out, so let’s just hope they don’t bite off more than they can chew. There’s only room for four in the next stage of the competition, meaning one celebrity will be heading straight for the exit.

Heat two is under way, and the four celebrities still standing are back to face three challenges that will truly test their culinary mettle. The stakes are high, as there are three quarter-final places up for grabs. First stop is the Pairs Challenge. Split into teams, each pair will work individually to create a stunning plate of food that must be identical in both looks and taste. Here’s the catch: only one teammate will have the basic instructions of how to get the job done, so strong communication is the key to success. Dishes include a picnic board and a tiffin box, both full of tasty treats, so the celebrities will have their work cut out. Hold on to your hats for the next challenge as the celebrity pairs venture off into the outside world, where they will be let loose in a professional kitchen. Spanish and west African cuisine are on today's menus. Fantastic chefs will guide them, but once lunch service kicks in, they will be on their own to deliver their food to members of the public. Reputations take time to build, so these chefs will be hoping the celebrities are able to master their dishes in record time. After a tough service, the celebrities will return to John and Gregg, who have opened the Street Food Market shutters. The celebrities will each need to produce one dish they would serve from the hatch of their own food truck, guaranteed to draw in the crowds. It can be sweet or savoury, but it must be totally lip-smacking. It will be game over for one contender as they are sadly sent home. The other three will continue the adventure of a lifetime and still be in with a shot of becoming this year’s Celebrity MasterChef champion.
