Celebrity MasterChef (UK) S21 E04-E06 (1080p, soft English subtitles) Celebrities scramble to compete in the kitchen. What culinary triumphs will they whisk up? E05 The second round of heats continues, with five celebrities facing two more culinary challenges as they battle for a place in this week's quarter-final. First up – it’s the return of the mystery box. Under their boxes, the celebrities find a mystery ingredient. They have one hour to invent and cook a dish with it. This time, it’s chilli and spice, and it will take all the celebrities’ imagination, knowledge, and skill to come up with a dish that not only stands out but shows skill with heat. Then, for the first time in their heat, they have to cook to stay in the competition. And they aren’t just cooking to impress Grace and Giorgio. This crucial round is called Who’s Coming to Dinner? Each week, a special guest sets a culinary brief for the celebrities, who then have to make something worthy of a quarter-final place. This week, TV and radio broadcaster Zoe Ball enters the MasterChef kitchen, and she’s looking for the celebrities’ ultimate pudding. What will win her over? Something classic and traditional? Or is she looking to be surprised by something creative and inventive? E04 It’s the second week of heats, and the five new celebrities up for the culinary challenge are Gladiator 'Dynamite' Emily Steel, actor Nitin Ganatra, YouTuber and comedian Tom Simons aka TommyInnit, actor, comedian and writer Donna Preston, and retired Royal Ballet dancer and presenter Eric Underwood. The first task for the five hopefuls is the signature dish round. It’s the celebrities' calling card to the judges as they have 90 minutes to prepare a dish that tells Grace and Giorgio who they are as a cook. Who will stand out from the off, and who will demonstrate they are going to need to learn fast? Next, it’s time for their taste buds to be tested with some tantalising treats as the celebrities take on a palate test like no other. They each need to identify cubes of either meat, fish, veg or fruit by touch and taste alone, as they will all be blindfolded throughout. Get the answer wrong and they will be eliminated from the challenge and lose their chance to win a significant advantage in the next round. Everyone is hoping to out-taste their opponents, but whether their taste buds are up to it remains to be seen. Then, it’s the final test of their culinary abilities in a brand new challenge for this year's competition – the MasterChef cook-along. Giorgio will don his chef whites and cook one of his own signature dishes – pappardelle with pea puree and a butter sauce. All the celebrities have to do is follow and keep up with him. The winner of the challenge will be the celebrity whose dish looks and tastes the closest to Giorgio’s. The celebrities work furiously, all keen to prove themselves to the judges because at stake is the MasterChef Pin, affording the winner a ten-minute advantage in the next round. All five will live to fight another day, but performance in every challenge counts, as there’s only space for the best four in the quarter-finals. Everything will need to be on point, as at the end of this task one celebrity will be heading home, and nobody wants to be out first. The four remaining celebrities will be counting their lucky stars as they head into the quarter-final, one step closer to their dream of being crowned Celebrity MasterChef Champion 2026. E06 It’s quarter-final time, and this heat’s remaining four celebrities return to do battle once more. They all want a place in the semi-finals, but only the best three will get there. Grace and Giorgio want to see progress, passion and even more plates of delicious food. The first hurdle in their way is Service Is Up. The celebrities have to work in teams to provide a three-course extravaganza in just 90 minutes. And the diners? A restaurant critic and a Michelin-star chef. Yes, Grace and Giorgio take their spot at the table as the teams graft their hardest to provide restaurant-quality delights. On the Mexican-themed menu tonight is seabass ceviche, cauliflower tacos 'El Pastor' and churros with a chilli-chocolate dipping sauce. Will the celebrity teams be able to wok together in perfect harmony, or will the pressure get to them and cause a clash?  Then, just one final challenge stands between them and a semi-final place, and their fate lies in the hands of one of the country’s best-loved chefs, Tom Kerridge. Having revolutionised the nation’s idea of fine dining with his flavour-driven British classics, Tom’s pub, the Hand in Flowers in Marlow, was the first in the world to achieve two Michelin stars. Each celebrity is tasked with recreating one of his much-loved pub classics. These recipes are close to Tom’s heart, so he wants to see them executed well. Who can step up and recreate Tom’s recipe to perfection? This is no time for mistakes because, for three celebrities, a place in the semi-finals awaits
