In the semi-finals, the seven remaining celebrity cooks face two challenging tasks as they battle it out for a spot in the next round and move one step closer to the 2024 Celebrity MasterChef champion title.
The episode welcomes cooking royalty, Ainsley Harriott MBE, to the MasterChef kitchen. With his extensive experience, Ainsley tasks the celebrities with recreating one of his favourite recipes. They must deal with unfamiliar ingredients and techniques to impress the judges and Ainsley. The celebrity who shines in this challenge secures a pass to the next round.
For the remaining six celebrities, the pressure is on as they fight to keep their place in the competition. John and Gregg set the task of creating the perfect pizza, from preparing the dough to crafting tasty toppings. The celebrities must also manage the wood-fired ovens, dealing with scorching temperatures. Only the best will avoid elimination, as one celebrity’s MasterChef journey comes to an end.
