Episode 9

The competitive food show that celebrates the families who make ordinary food extraordinary is back! Over three weeks, 16 family teams battle it out in the showdown studio kitchen. They face a series of challenges based around family cooking, and they are judged by presenters Angellica Bell, herself a Celebrity MasterChef winner and cookery book author, and Tommy Banks, Britain's youngest ever Michelin-starred chef. In each episode, the teams are given two tasks - one they have had time to practise at home, the other a complete surprise, testing their collective ability to work together and think on their feet.

This time, the three remaining families from the previous day's heat face a surprise head-to-head challenge: they must volunteer one family member to cook without knowing the dish they'll then have to prepare - a shepherd's pie.

For the second task, the families are back together to make a two-course meal with smoked haddock and chocolate as the star ingredients. The pressure is on as only two families can make it through to Monday's play-offs.
