Episode 16

It's finals week, and the five remaining cooks will be pushed to deliver food on a whole new level as they continue to battle to become champion.

The celebrities start by facing their most daunting challenge yet. They will be immersed in a culinary tradition that’s been part of British culture for over 600 years – the pie. Working at the Holborn Dining Rooms pie room with chef Calum Franklin, who has devoted the last seven years to elevating the humble pie to a culinary art form, they will each be responsible for reproducing one of Calum’s creations for a dining room of pie experts.

Then it’s back to the MasterChef kitchen, where the final five must each create one exceptional dish inspired by the flavours of the sweet shop. The celebrities must impress John and Gregg by showing creativity, skill, flair and a determination to remain in the competition.

For the cook who doesn’t make the grade, the competition will be over. The remaining four will go through, taking a step closer to being crowned 2021 Celebrity MasterChef champion.
