Celebrity MasterChef UK 2022 episode 13: Celebrity MasterChef continues this week, and after four weeks of intense competition, the best eight cooks from the heats have made it through to the semi-finals. Starting tonight, the remaining hopefuls are battling for their place in the final week with a test to their teamwork.
The celebrities travel to North Weald Airfield, home to the Essex and Herts Air Ambulance, to face their toughest challenge yet. Cooking in tents and faced with unfamiliar equipment, the semi-finalists must cook up a feast for 70 pilots, medics and support staff who work for this life-saving organisation.
Split into two teams, it’s a race against the clock as the celebrities must each design and create four mouthwatering dishes (a meat, fish and vegetarian dish, and a dessert) in just three hours. Next, it’s back to the MasterChef kitchen, where they face an Invention Test using the leftovers from the previous challenge. Everything rides on the success of their dish because, at the end of this challenge, one celebrity will be going home, and their dream of being Celebrity MasterChef champion 2022 will be over.
Only the best two contestants can move one step closer to winning the title of Celebrity MasterChef 2022. For the one who doesn’t cut the mustard, the journey ends here. Celebrities from the world of music, sport, comedy, drama and show business are heading into the kitchen. The heat is on as Celebrity MasterChef returns to BBC One. Over six weeks, John Torode and Gregg Wallace are putting their taste buds through a sensory assault course, discovering which celebrities have the palate and skill to chop, slice and sizzle their way to lifting the iconic Celebrity MasterChef trophy.

Celebrity MasterChef was devised as a celebrity version of MasterChef Goes Large. The show was screened on BBC One from 2006 to 2011. Originally, 24 celebrities participated in each series with three contestants per episode following the full MasterChef Goes Large test.
In 2011, the programme was moved to a daily daytime slot with 30 episodes screened over six weeks and with only 16 celebrities. Catch-up shows were broadcast on Fridays at 20:30 (30 minutes) and on Saturdays at various times (60 minutes). In 2012, the show moved to BBC Two due to low ratings and returned to an evening 18:30 slot. In 2013, it moved back to BBC One prime time, shown at 20:00. Since 2014, the show has had 20 celebrities competing for the title.
