A daunting task for even the most adept chefs, the celebrities’ choice of dish is key to keeping their place in the competition.
Will their ingredients, flavours and presentation be enough to impress, or will they fall short of the mark and lose their chance to triumph in Celebrity MasterChef? At the end of this show, only the five best cooks will go through to Finals Week and be one step closer to being crowned Celebrity MasterChef 2022 champion.
Celebrity MasterChef UK 2022 episode 15
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.
