Celebrity cooking contest, with former model Linda Lusardi, actor Nick Pickard, lingerie entrepreneur Michelle Mone and Olympic sprinting champion Darren Campbell.

Celebrity MasterChef returns, welcoming 16 familiar hopefuls to battle for the title of Celebrity MasterChef Champion.

This episode sees the first four celebrities undertake a range of culinary challenges in a bid to prove themselves to judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace. Amongst the contestants are actress and former model Linda Lusardi, and actor Nick Pickard, best known for playing Hollyoaks' longest serving character, Tony Hutchinson. Joining them is entrepreneur and founder of lingerie brand Ultimo, Michelle Mone, whilst Olympic sprinting champion Darren Campbell completes the line-up.

The first challenge is a basic skills test, as the celebrities are tasked with filleting and cooking a flatfish in less than ten minutes. With the pressure on, the celebrities deliver some unorthodox techniques. For their second test, the contestants are given the basic recipe of battered scampi with chips and handmade mayonnaise - but as the pressure mounts, how will the celebrities perform?

With no time for complacency, the contestants face their final challenge for the day - the Mystery Box test. A test of imagination and creativity, the celebrities are presented with a range of ingredients including spaghetti, red chilli, mixed vegetables and their key ingredient: a whole cooked brown crab. With nerves running high, the celebrities must think on their feet to impress the judges as they fight for their place in the show.
