It’s week four of Celebrity MasterChef 2014 and the fourth and final group of celebrities enter the MasterChef Kitchen to show-off their cooking skills.
The celebs must undertake three tough culinary challenges in a bid to impress judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace.
The celebrities in tonight’s heat are singer Kiki Dee, adventurer and travel writer Charley Boorman, actor and director Jason Connery and actors Christopher Biggins and Tina Hobley.
The first challenge for the five hopefuls is the Mystery Box test – the infamous test of imagination and creativity. They all have to use the box’s ingredients to create their interpretation of a fish and chips. They have just 50 minutes to make their dish from scratch, and must think on their feet to impress the judges.
In the second task, the celebrities are split into two groups to take on the challenge of cooking for the first time in a restaurant kitchen, preparing dishes for paying customers.
Kiki, Charley and Jason are sent to Lanes of London restaurant where they face a real baptism of fire trying to keep up with orders in this busy contemporary Asian restaurant. Biggin’s and Tina are sent to Pont Street restaurant, where as well as trying to meet executive chef Sophie Michell’s high standards they also face technical problems with the equipment.

In the final test its back to Celebrity MasterChef headquarters as the contestants are asked to prepare a two-course menu of their own design in just one hour and 15 minutes. This is their last chance to prove themselves to the judges, because at the end of this test one of them will be for the chop and get their taxi fare home.
