The four remaining celebrities face three more culinary challenges, as they battle for a place in the semi-finals. The contestants are split into two teams and sent out on their first mass catering assignment at the Royal Veterinary College in Hertfordshire. There, they must make lunch for more than 100 members of staff and students, using an array of ingredients including diced lamb, hake fillets and salmon, as well as a range of fruit and vegetables. Back in the kitchen, the celebs prepare a two-course meal that will be judged by former contestants Alexis Conran, the Rev Richard Coles and Andi Peters.

The contestants take part in the first of the semi-finals and face their toughest challenge yet as they cook for 90 staff and volunteers at the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley, West Midlands. In specially constructed marquee kitchens, the celebrities are split into two teams and must create dishes from ingredients including pork belly, beef rump, mackerel and whole haddock. Then it's back to the MasterChef Kitchen to face an Invention Test, after which more will be going home.

The last of the semi-finals sees the remaining celebrities tasked with making the pie of their choice, sweet or savoury, from a wide range of ingredients. Next, they have to prepare a five-course lunch in celebration of over 40 years of the BBC's Antiques Roadshow, cooking a menu created by top chef Paul Askew. Then, it's back to the MasterChef kitchen, where they must each create one exceptional dish inspired by someone they love or admire. For the cook who fails to make the grade, their competition will be over. The remaining four will go through to Finals Week.

The battle for the Celebrity Masterchef title continues, with the four remaining hopefuls serving up two sweet and two savoury items for afternoon tea. But adding to the pressure, they will not only have to impress John Torode and Gregg Wallace but also leading pastry chef Eric Lanlard. Then they must cook two dishes of their own design for a trio of restaurant critics, at the end of which only the three best will still be in the running for the title.

The three remaining celebrities take part in the 2018 final. Their penultimate challenge is the toughest and most daunting of the competition - The Chef's Table. This year it will be hosted by critically acclaimed chef, Bryn Williams. The trio will be working out of his new restaurant, Bryn Williams at Somerset House, cooking for an exceptional gathering of some the best chefs in the country. Back at base, the three must cook and present a faultless three-course meal for judgement by John Torode and Gregg Wallace, in what is their last chance to prove they have what it takes to be crowned champion. Last in the series.
