Episode 2

Celebrities compete in a contest of culinary skill. The first week of heats continues as the four remaining celebrities face three more culinary challenges, battling for a place in the semi-finals. The first challenge is a relay invention test. Split into two teams, each team must create a main course and a pudding between them. Each team member has 30 minutes to make their contribution to the dishes, but they can't communicate with one another. Next, the teams are sent out on their first mass catering challenge. They have to make lunch for over 100 members of staff at Legoland in Windsor. The two teams must devise, prepare and serve the lunch, catering for various tastes while creating meat-based, vegetarian and dessert dishes in volume. As the battle for a semi-final place reaches its climax, the four celebrities must now cook a faultless two-course meal that will not only be judged by John and Gregg, but also by past Celebrity MasterChef champions.

This week's heat continues with the four celebrities battling for a semi-final place.

Episode 7

The hunt for a champion continues as we welcome the final five celebrities to the challenge in the last of the heats. Trying to impress judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace are Olympic champion boxer Audley Harrison, Strictly Come Dancing professional Gleb Savchenko, antiques expert David Harper, TV presenter Cherry Healey and singer and entertainer Jimmy Osmond.

The first challenge for the five hopefuls is the Invention Test, the infamous test of imagination and creativity. This episode's box has a French theme, and the celebrities must use the given ingredients, including duck, bacon, Morteau sausage, cheese and pears, as well as a larder, to create just one dish - sweet or savoury. With nerves running high and just 60 minutes to create something from scratch, the celebrities must think on their feet to impress the judges.

With the first test over, there's no let-up as the celebrities face paying customers for the first time, working during lunchtime service in two busy London restaurants. Audley, Jimmy and Cherry are sent to Kojawan, where they face a real baptism of fire trying to keep up with orders in this busy Pan Asian restaurant, while Gleb and David try to impress and master the dishes at Indigo.

In the final test of culinary creativity it's back to the MasterChef headquarters, as the contestants are asked to prepare a two-course menu of their own design. The celebrities work furiously in a last attempt to prove themselves to the judges, because at the end of this test one of them will be going home.

Episode 8

This episode features the last of the heats, as the battle for the last two places in the semi-finals reaches its climax.

The first challenge is a Relay Invention Test, and it's all about teamwork. Split into two teams, each team must create a main course and a pudding between them using turkey for the main, berries for the pudding and a range of fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices. Each team member has 25 minutes to make their contribution to the dishes, but they can't communicate with one another, so each cook must try and work out what the dishes are meant to be from the clues left behind by their teammate and then carry on. Then for the final 15 minutes the team members come together to finish the dishes

The celebrities then remain in their teams and are sent out on their first mass-catering challenge, making lunch at Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre in Buckinghamshire for 80 elite athletes, including members of the Great Britain men's hockey team. With an array of ingredients, the two teams must devise, prepare and serve the lunch, catering for various tastes while creating meat-based, vegetarian and dessert dishes in volume.

Then it's back to MasterChef headquarters for the final test. The four celebrities must now cook a faultless two-course meal that will not only be judged by John and Gregg but also by past Celebrity MasterChef champion Lisa Faulkner (2010), previous finalist Christine Hamilton (2010) and semi-finalist Christopher Biggins (2014).

With their last chances to impress for a semi-final place, emotions in the kitchen are running high, and the pressure proves too much for some contestants. The celebrity judges deliver some frank and cutting responses to some of the dishes, but others fare much better.

This is the last chance for the contestants to earn themselves a semi-final place and come one step closer to winning the title of Celebrity MasterChef 2016. For those who don't make the grade the journey ends here.

Semi-Final 1

Celebrities compete in a contest of culinary skill. After four weeks of intense competition, the best cooks compete in the first of the semi-finals. The celebrities begin with their toughest challenge yet - in a freezing cold field and limited to the use of marquee kitchens, they must cook a feast for 70 guests. Split into two teams, it's a race against the clock as they must design and create four mouthwatering dishes each (meat, fish, vegetarian and dessert) from a selection of ingredients including saddle of lamb, hake, whole salmon and quail. Next it's back to the MasterChef kitchen, where they face an Invention Test with a difference. Each contestant is given their favourite ingredient to work with and, along with a well-stocked larder, has 90 minutes to create a dish that celebrates their chosen ingredient to keep them in the competition. Favourite ingredient choices range from mackerel to scallops, chicken breasts to chicken thighs and haggis.

Semi-Final 2

It's the second semi-final, and the remaining six celebrity cooks continue to battle for the MasterChef title. For their first task, each of the six benches in the MasterChef kitchen contains the ingredients and recipe to make a different classic dish from around the world, including chicken kiev, a Portuguese fish stew, lamb koftas and queen of puddings. To stay in the competition, the celebrities must pick a bench at random and then cook the dish that's on it. Next, the remaining five celebrities face their most daunting challenge yet - to prepare a five-course dinner for the Chelsea Pensioners in celebration of HM the Queen's 90th birthday. However, they won't be cooking their own dishes. They will be cooking the menu of Nigel Haworth of Michelin-starred Northcote Manor. Finally it's back to the MasterChef kitchen, where the final five must each create one exceptional dish that celebrates the life of someone important to them.

Final 1

In the first show of Finals Week, the four contestants are whittled down to three. The celebrities' first challenge is their most daunting yet - John's Palate Test. John cooks a highly complex dish - Korean fried chicken with Asian salad - which the celebrities have to taste and then identify the ingredients in. They then have one hour and fifteen minutes to recreate the dish themselves. Then, in their last challenge as a quartet, the celebrities must cook two dishes of their own design for four of the country's most feared restaurant critics for a place in the final three. Will their ingredients, flavours and presentation be enough to impress, or will they fall short of the mark and lose their chance to be Celebrity MasterChef?

Celebrities compete in a contest of culinary skill. It's the Celebrity MasterChef final. Twenty celebrities started the battle to be crowned MasterChef Champion 2016 - now only three remain.

The finalists must deliver food of an exceptional standard to impress some of the best chefs in the country. As they battle to master new techniques and unfamiliar ingredients, will they hold their nerve or is the pressure too much? Then it's back to the MasterChef kitchen for the last time, where the finalists must cook and present a three-course meal for John and Gregg. It's their last chance to prove they have what it takes. Who amongst the finalists is the true cooking star and worthy of a place in the hall of fame?
