Week 2 of Celebrity MasterChef continues and the four remaining celebrities face a series of challenging tasks as they battle it out for a place in the quarter-finals. With three spots up for grabs, the pressure is on to impress judges John and Gregg.
The episode begins with the Pairs Challenge, where the celebrities are split into teams and tasked with creating identical plates of food in terms of both presentation and taste. Effective communication is crucial as only one member of each team has the basic instructions for preparing the dish. From picnic boards to tiffin boxes, the celebrities must showcase their culinary skills and attention to detail.
The adventure then takes an exciting turn as the celebrity pairs step out into the real world and find themselves in professional kitchens. Guided by fantastic chefs, they tackle Spanish and West African cuisine, with the added challenge of delivering their dishes to the public during lunch service. It’s a race against time to master their recipes and ensure their reputations remain intact.
Back with John and Gregg, the celebrities face their final challenge of creating a unique dish that they would serve from their own food truck. Whether sweet or savoury, their creations must be mouth-watering and crowd-pleasing.
One celebrity’s journey comes to an end, while the remaining three continue their quest to become the Celebrity MasterChef champion.
