16 celebrities are battling it out

0:00:030:00:06

to win the coveted MasterChef crown.

0:00:060:00:09

I'd like to win it. That would be a wonderful feeling.

0:00:110:00:14

These celebrities have reached the top of their profession.

0:00:160:00:19

But can they cut it in the kitchen?

0:00:190:00:22

I'm having fun. I'm throwing myself out of my comfort zone.

0:00:220:00:25

I'd love to do well. I need a bit of help from the spiritual place.

0:00:250:00:30

Just watch this!

0:00:300:00:32

Cooking doesn't get tougher than this.

0:00:320:00:35

All this week, these four celebrities have been taking on the challenge

0:00:500:00:55

to become the next MasterChef champion.

0:00:550:00:58

But at the end of today, one of them will be going home.

0:00:590:01:04

Celebrity MasterChef and this competition just gets fiercer and fiercer.

0:01:040:01:09

Now is the time to step up to the mark.

0:01:110:01:13

This is really tough.

0:01:160:01:18

You are under the microscope.

0:01:180:01:20

I'd feel disappointed if I went, the first one to go.

0:01:240:01:27

I think I've got more to give.

0:01:300:01:32

It's exactly like an opening night of a play.

0:01:340:01:36

10,000 times worse when you're standing in the wings. When you're on stage, you go,

0:01:360:01:41

"OK, good. I'm here!"

0:01:410:01:43

I've thrown myself in several ways

0:01:450:01:47

on a couple of occasions, but I've learned

0:01:470:01:50

to accept the challenge as it unravels and give it my absolute best.

0:01:500:01:54

But to say that felt a bit like a rabbit caught in headlamps

0:01:540:01:58

is an understatement.

0:01:580:01:59

To decide who stays, the celebrities will face two challenges

0:02:020:02:06

to show just how far they've come.

0:02:060:02:09

We've tested their skills.

0:02:090:02:11

We've seen their teamwork, but we're back to individual tasks.

0:02:110:02:15

And we want to see how they cope on their own.

0:02:150:02:17

This is a tough, long day. At the end of this one of them is going to go home.

0:02:190:02:23

The classic recipe today is steamed sea bass with ginger and spring onions,

0:02:300:02:35

perfectly cooked rice and sweet chilli sauce.

0:02:350:02:38

Oh, baby!

0:02:380:02:39

The first thing I'm going to do is get the rice on.

0:02:390:02:42

Put some rice in a pot. You wash it three times to get rid of the excess starch.

0:02:440:02:48

Put it on the heat. You let it boil for five or six minutes. Turn the heat off.

0:02:510:02:55

Don't touch it. You must never ever, ever remove that lid.

0:02:550:02:59

And your rice will be perfectly cooked.

0:02:590:03:02

Now we're going to prepare the sea bass. I'm going to square the ginger off.

0:03:030:03:08

Spring onions the same and that then goes inside our bass.

0:03:080:03:13

And that becomes fragrant from the inside.

0:03:130:03:17

Ginger is very strong and it's too potent.

0:03:210:03:24

So it needs to be really fine.

0:03:240:03:27

Mix the ginger and the spring onions together.

0:03:270:03:31

Into a bowl, two or three spoonfuls of Shaoxing wine.

0:03:310:03:36

And then the soya sauce.

0:03:360:03:38

Half the quantity of soya sauce to the wine. Mix that all together.

0:03:380:03:43

Cut the tail off the bass.

0:03:430:03:46

Now make some little scoring bits

0:03:470:03:50

into the flesh.

0:03:500:03:52

Take a bit of banana leaf and put some holes in it,

0:03:520:03:55

so the steam can go through.

0:03:550:03:57

Put the banana leaf inside the steamer.

0:03:570:04:01

And then our fish on top.

0:04:010:04:04

Put on top of that the mixture of spring onions and ginger.

0:04:060:04:08

And then pour on to that our Shaoxing wine and our soya sauce.

0:04:100:04:15

Pop the lid back on the steamer.

0:04:170:04:19

Don't touch it for a good ten minutes.

0:04:190:04:21

I'm enjoying this recipe. I can't see any reason why they shouldn't do this with aplomb.

0:04:240:04:29

It's time to make sweet chilli sauce.

0:04:290:04:31

Not a difficult thing at all.

0:04:310:04:34

Two good-size chillies, seeds removed.

0:04:360:04:40

Couple of decent pieces of pineapple in there.

0:04:400:04:42

And then about 100 grammes of sugar.

0:04:450:04:49

And about 100ml of vinegar.

0:04:510:04:54

Then add to that a decent splash of water.

0:04:550:04:59

On to the stove.

0:04:590:05:00

The sweet chilli sauce needs to boil for five minutes to cook the pineapple and chilli.

0:05:020:05:06

And then we just blend it in a food processor.

0:05:060:05:10

I can't see a lot going wrong with this, John. This is doable.

0:05:130:05:17

The next thing is to actually put the dish together on the plate.

0:05:170:05:20

We're now going to release the flavour of those spring onions

0:05:350:05:38

and bring this fish to life.

0:05:380:05:40

Seriously hot pan - been on the stove - with sesame oil.

0:05:400:05:44

Back on that heat for a second till it's almost about to smoke.

0:05:440:05:49

And then you pour.

0:05:490:05:51

Chinese sea bass, spring onions, ginger,

0:06:010:06:04

perfectly cooked rice and sweet chilli sauce.

0:06:040:06:06

John, we are in for a treat here, IF our celebrities are up to the challenge.

0:06:060:06:12

-Get 'em in?

-Let's get them in.

0:06:120:06:13

Welcome back to the start of a big day today.

0:06:280:06:32

We have a recipe - a John Torode recipe.

0:06:320:06:35

Today's classic recipe is steamed sea bass.

0:06:370:06:40

You do it properly, it will be beautiful.

0:06:400:06:43

You do it badly and it will be not very nice at all.

0:06:450:06:49

You will have one hour to cook this classic recipe. Do it well. Let's cook.

0:06:510:06:55

Justin - TV presenter and a property developer,

0:07:100:07:13

and a man who has eye for design.

0:07:130:07:15

It's a good-looking, modern plate of food.

0:07:180:07:20

If he has a weakness, he tries to throw too much on a plate.

0:07:220:07:24

15 ingredients in one bowl.

0:07:260:07:28

He needs to focus today. Just deliver what needs to be delivered.

0:07:300:07:34

Forget the other bits and pieces. Just deliver the heart and soul of the dish.

0:07:340:07:38

I really hope that today gives me a new opportunity to excel.

0:07:410:07:47

I would really like to do well.

0:07:490:07:51

Justin, Asian food - the sort of food you love to cook?

0:07:530:07:56

I haven't cooked much Asian stuff before

0:07:560:07:58

and I'm not the biggest kind of fish cooker, to be frank.

0:07:580:08:01

-Why is it that you don't cook much fish?

-I'm a meat lover.

0:08:010:08:05

I've avoided fish. I think, like a lot of people, I'm wary of cooking fish.

0:08:050:08:09

That's why I'm here. I want to learn.

0:08:090:08:11

What happens if Colin goes and you stay, Justin? You love to work together.

0:08:110:08:15

Whichever of us does better than the other, I hope that one person represents the other.

0:08:150:08:19

-What do you have to do now in the competition?

-I want to get better. I want to stay the course.

0:08:190:08:24

-Today, boys, I need you to smile from ear to ear as you chow down on my fish.

-Hmm?

0:08:240:08:29

We know that Justin relies upon Colin for moral support.

0:08:340:08:38

He likes to work as a pair, but today he has to stand alone as an individual.

0:08:380:08:42

15 minutes you've had.

0:08:500:08:51

Danny - musician and a creative mind.

0:08:590:09:03

He cooks for his family and his friends. When he puts his mind to it,

0:09:030:09:08

he delivers food which is interesting and stylised.

0:09:080:09:10

It looked great when it went out.

0:09:130:09:15

It tastes great now on the plate. I think he's done a really good job.

0:09:150:09:19

But his dishes don't always hit the mark.

0:09:190:09:23

It needs more flavour.

0:09:230:09:26

There's a little hint of spice, but it needs more.

0:09:260:09:29

He may have what it takes. Today is going to show whether he is the real McCoy.

0:09:310:09:36

I guess my family have only ever seen me play music or make a lot of noise.

0:09:410:09:44

I think they just find it really funny.

0:09:440:09:47

They just think it's really weird that Dad's on telly, cooking.

0:09:470:09:51

How are you doing, Danny?

0:09:560:09:58

Comfortable, happy?

0:09:580:10:00

It's something I've never done before. This is a bit tricky.

0:10:000:10:04

But you've got to conquer your worries. Something new is good to learn.

0:10:040:10:08

-What's the competition mean to you, Danny?

-I'm getting a passion for it really.

0:10:080:10:12

I've been cooking for my family a lot. I cooked a big meal for my cousins last week.

0:10:120:10:17

The passion's growing a bit and it's something interesting to do with my hands.

0:10:170:10:22

-How is the competition for you?

-It's hard to tell.

0:10:220:10:25

I haven't destroyed anything yet, which is probably a good sign.

0:10:250:10:28

I want to get past the next stage and get into the semis.

0:10:280:10:31

That's my goal at the moment - to get into the semis.

0:10:310:10:34

-And what happens if you don't?

-If I don't, I'll just go down the pub or something.

0:10:340:10:39

Go and watch football.

0:10:390:10:41

Danny seems happy, although he's never done anything like this before.

0:10:450:10:48

It's now up to Danny to make sure he presents that dish beautifully.

0:10:480:10:52

You're halfway. Halfway.

0:10:560:10:59

-What's happened?

-I think I've overcooked my rice. I must have put too much water in it.

0:10:590:11:04

If you overcook that one, I have no more.

0:11:040:11:07

Sharon - a star of stage and television.

0:11:110:11:15

At the early stages of this competition, Sharon was unwell

0:11:160:11:19

and we haven't seen a huge amount of her, but what we have seen is truly impressive.

0:11:190:11:24

There's nothing wrong with your cooking that a deep breath and a count to ten wouldnt cure.

0:11:260:11:32

In the team challenges, she delivers.

0:11:320:11:35

That's not bad at all. I'm really impressed.

0:11:350:11:37

-Yeah, so am I.

-I'd eat the whole thing actually.

0:11:370:11:40

I wonder, with her being ill in the earlier rounds, whether that's hindered her development so far?

0:11:410:11:47

But today she's got a chance to make up ground.

0:11:470:11:51

It's unforgivable that I'm so terrified. It makes no sense at all.

0:11:530:11:58

I feel as though I'm going to the hangman's noose. It's ridiculous.

0:12:000:12:04

-Tell us what happened to your rice.

-I overcooked it.

0:12:050:12:09

Are you able to concentrate on one thing at a time?

0:12:090:12:13

Or does your mind just race everywhere all the time?

0:12:130:12:16

It tends to race. Focus is a big issue for me.

0:12:160:12:18

Can you focus enough to deliver a beautiful dish, flavoured well?

0:12:180:12:23

-I'm trying.

-Are you going to be as good on your own as you have been...?

0:12:230:12:27

I know, I know. It's a big issue for me, that.

0:12:270:12:30

I was missing Danny today. He was quietly watching my back. I liked that.

0:12:300:12:34

Sharon, she started OK and then she overcooked her rice.

0:12:380:12:41

I hope that hasn't knocked her confidence and I hope that means she can finish on time.

0:12:410:12:45

You have just under 20 minutes left.

0:12:470:12:50

Just under 20 minutes. Steamed sea bass, rice, sweet chilli sauce.

0:12:500:12:55

Colin - TV presenter and an interior designer.

0:12:580:13:02

Throughout this competition he has been consistent with his delivery.

0:13:020:13:06

I think that's a decent dish. The sort of thing I would order.

0:13:080:13:11

But he's made some technical errors.

0:13:110:13:15

Your heat is too high and you don't have enough oil in your pan.

0:13:150:13:19

He doesn't have a great deal of confidence, but he has the makings of a very good cook.

0:13:210:13:25

I feel like I want to know more.

0:13:280:13:30

I'm enjoying the fact that it's kind of unleashed...

0:13:300:13:33

..A hunger.

0:13:340:13:36

-Colin.

-Yes.

0:13:380:13:39

-Tough ask?

-For some weird, strange reason I feel more nervous than I've ever felt in my adult life.

0:13:390:13:45

-Really?

-It's bizarre. I've got that strange, pre-exam feeling.

0:13:450:13:49

Do you think you're starting some of your tasks in a flap?

0:13:490:13:53

That is exactly it and the fact I'm in a flap is getting in the way of me getting on with it.

0:13:530:13:59

Do you think you may be in danger of going out the competition?

0:13:590:14:03

I can only do my best. I've really enjoyed being here. It's been a really positive experience so far.

0:14:030:14:08

-You are one half of a dynamic duo.

-Indeed.

0:14:080:14:11

What happens if Justin goes home?

0:14:110:14:14

I'll just have to step up to the plate and make it happen.

0:14:140:14:17

-Have you ever cooked fish?

-Never. This is my first fish.

0:14:170:14:20

-Wow!

-I'm a virgin, regarding all things fishy.

0:14:200:14:25

Colin's doing OK, but he looks nervous.

0:14:300:14:33

He's admitted he's never cooked a fish before.

0:14:330:14:35

What's the chance of cooking fish for the first time ever and it coming out perfectly?

0:14:350:14:40

You've got five minutes left.

0:14:420:14:45

Three minutes. Just three minutes.

0:14:510:14:53

30 seconds. Last 30 seconds. Finishing touches.

0:14:590:15:02

Time's up! Time's up! Finished.

0:15:060:15:09

We asked you to cook Chinese-style sea bass with spring onions and ginger,

0:15:320:15:36

with steamed rice and a sweet chilli sauce.

0:15:360:15:41

You're up on time. That's great.

0:15:410:15:43

Now it's all about how it tastes and whether it's cooked properly.

0:15:430:15:47

-Danny, you're up first.

-Mm-hm.

0:15:550:15:58

What are the black bits on your rice, Danny?

0:16:040:16:06

I think I might have drizzled a tiny bit of the sesame oil on it. But it was a mistake actually.

0:16:060:16:12

I think the other thing was your pan wasn't clean enough.

0:16:120:16:15

That sesame oil that goes over the top is to cook the spring onions.

0:16:150:16:19

It shouldn't have little black bits in the bottom of it.

0:16:190:16:22

Your fish is cooked beautifully. Still lovely and sweet and succulent inside.

0:16:300:16:34

I like the way the spring onions and ginger are cooked through. They're not big chunks.

0:16:340:16:39

Your chilli sauce is vibrant with chilli.

0:16:390:16:41

Your rice is cooked really, really well. I like it a lot.

0:16:410:16:44

I think you've done a really, really good job.

0:16:440:16:47

Really good job.

0:16:470:16:49

I can find nothing wrong with that whatsoever, Danny.

0:16:530:16:56

Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

0:16:560:16:58

-I would happily now eat the lot.

-Well, you can.

0:16:580:17:02

Danny, that's a really, really good dish.

0:17:020:17:04

Cheers. Thanks very much.

0:17:040:17:07

I burnt the oil a bit.

0:17:070:17:09

I thought I'd put a bit on the rice to make it taste of sesame oil. That was a silly decision.

0:17:090:17:15

Justin, let's have a look at yours.

0:17:150:17:18

Pineapple's not necessary. You're not going to eat it.

0:17:210:17:24

When you do things like that, it detracts from when you do a good job.

0:17:240:17:28

Good job! Good job. Nice, soft, meaty fish.

0:17:340:17:38

Sweet sauce with a tang. My only complaint is rice really watery.

0:17:380:17:44

-I rinsed it under boiling water.

-That's a mistake.

0:17:440:17:47

Beautifully steamed piece of fish, fragrant with ginger and spring onions.

0:17:540:17:58

Wonderful sweet chilli sauce, but your rice is overcooked

0:17:580:18:02

and you don't need to elaborate with the garnish.

0:18:020:18:04

From now on, no more garnish. I'm garnish free. I am!

0:18:040:18:07

I'm back to basics. I'm going nude. I am paring it back.

0:18:070:18:11

-Promise?

-On a stack of Holy Bibles, non-denominational.

0:18:110:18:15

I need to stop garnishing, but I'm a designer. I'm always looking for ways to beautify.

0:18:170:18:21

I'm looking for ways to make the ordinary extraordinary. Pineapple didn't fall into that category.

0:18:210:18:27

Colin, let's have a look.

0:18:290:18:31

Your fish is lovely. It's cooked beautifully.

0:18:390:18:42

Your chilli sauce is a little bit jam-like and the oil you put across the top was not hot enough.

0:18:420:18:48

Cold oil has gone on to the plate and sat underneath your rice and made your rice greasy.

0:18:480:18:53

Fish is cooked really well.

0:19:000:19:03

Really, really well, BUT the ginger hasn't cooked enough. Too powerful for me.

0:19:030:19:09

Sesame oil over the rice detracts from it.

0:19:090:19:12

Isn't it just the way that your rice is fine, your fish is fine,

0:19:150:19:19

and one little flash of smoking oil let's the whole thing down?

0:19:190:19:23

Sharon.

0:19:240:19:26

Fish, absolutely love it and love that the ginger has softened.

0:19:330:19:37

The rice is a bit firm. It would have been perfect if you'd cooked the rice a bit longer.

0:19:370:19:42

Your fish is cooked beautifully, but your rice is undercooked

0:19:480:19:52

and your sweet chilli sauce is too sweet.

0:19:520:19:56

But, for me, the best cooked piece of fish in the room.

0:19:560:19:59

Beautifully cooked. Love it!

0:19:590:20:03

My rice is bothering me.

0:20:030:20:06

Sometimes you get the ball in the goal mouth. Sometimes you don't. I didn't do my best.

0:20:060:20:11

The next time we see you,

0:20:110:20:13

one of you is going to be leaving us.

0:20:130:20:16

Thanks very much. See you soon.

0:20:160:20:19

Do you know what?

0:20:260:20:28

-I'm really impressed.

-I'm very impressed.

0:20:280:20:30

-JUSTIN:

-Danny, group hug!

0:20:300:20:33

That was a solid round and a couple of contestants have surprised me.

0:20:390:20:43

Danny is class and he is growing in stature.

0:20:450:20:48

That guy is delivering on the money.

0:20:480:20:52

The only thing wrong with Danny's dish today was that oil was a little bit burnt.

0:20:520:20:56

Otherwise, Danny's dish was near on perfect.

0:20:560:21:00

Today, Justin gave me something I really, really enjoyed.

0:21:000:21:04

He couldn't resist his temptation to add more to it.

0:21:040:21:07

So we had two great big slices of pineapple for reasons best left unexplored.

0:21:070:21:12

But that rice was really overcooked and really watery.

0:21:120:21:16

And why he thinks he has to keep on adding things that aren't necessary, I am unsure.

0:21:160:21:21

Colin was honest enough to admit he'd never cooked a fish before.

0:21:230:21:27

Brilliant chilli sauce, beautifully cooked fish. The last two minutes was where it all fell down.

0:21:270:21:34

That sesame oil should have been boiling hot, then poured over the fish.

0:21:340:21:38

Instead it went all over the plate and made the whole thing greasy.

0:21:380:21:42

Sharon, for me, has a plate divided right down the middle.

0:21:440:21:49

One half has a brilliantly flavoured, wonderfully cooked fish in it.

0:21:490:21:53

The other one has undercooked rice.

0:21:530:21:55

If Sharon had concentrated on cooking that rice properly, she would have delivered a good dish.

0:21:550:22:01

So far this week, the celebrities have been tested on their basic skill.

0:22:100:22:15

Teamwork.

0:22:160:22:19

And refined cooking.

0:22:190:22:22

They now have one last chance to prove they've got what it takes to stay in the competition,

0:22:250:22:31

because one of them will be going home.

0:22:310:22:35

I always wonder what their own food is like. We're going to finally find out.

0:22:350:22:39

It is D-Day. Finally, we're getting to do our own recipes.

0:22:390:22:44

Then, of course, one of us will be despatched.

0:22:440:22:47

When you're cooking your own food you feel slightly more responsible, cos you've got no excuses.

0:22:470:22:53

I feel like a broken record. I'm nervous.

0:22:530:22:56

I've gone through a whole gamut of emotions from blind panic to complete calm.

0:23:000:23:05

When I'm in front of Gregg and John, it's like being in the lion pit. Those boys are tough!

0:23:070:23:13

I'm feeling really, really happy about cooking my sort of ideas for food.

0:23:140:23:19

Knowing what I'm doing, I feel fairly confident.

0:23:190:23:23

One hour, your two dishes. This is where it truly counts.

0:23:350:23:39

Let's cook.

0:23:440:23:46

What are you making? What are your two courses, Colin?

0:24:020:24:04

I'm making a san choy bow - a chicken stir fry that should be a bite-size bit of perfection.

0:24:040:24:10

And I'm doing my own version of the Scottish, deep-fried Mars Bar.

0:24:100:24:14

I'm doing a chocolate and coconut tempura with homemade mango ice cream.

0:24:140:24:19

-Are you seriously going to deep fry a chocolate bar?

-Yes, I am.

0:24:190:24:22

-Why?

-People say about Scottish food, it's really bad for you

0:24:220:24:26

and yet you go to Asia and it's tempura and it's fantastic.

0:24:260:24:30

-Have you eaten a fried chocolate bar before?

-No.

0:24:300:24:34

-Have you made this dish before?

-Yes.

0:24:340:24:38

-Is that what you're going for? You want something different.

-Yeah.

0:24:380:24:42

I want more than meat, potatoes and veg. Don't underestimate the power of the bar.

0:24:420:24:46

Colin's going to deep fry a chocolate bar

0:24:530:24:56

and serve it with mango ice cream.

0:24:560:24:58

John, it might sound crazy. I'm actually really looking forward it. I'm intrigued.

0:24:580:25:04

We have an hour, and I have to make ice cream from scratch.

0:25:050:25:09

I've got to be able to scope out the ice cream and pop it on there

0:25:090:25:14

and for it to retain its form and not just to go phtt!

0:25:140:25:17

Nearly 20 minutes gone.

0:25:210:25:22

Endless things could go wrong today. You never know.

0:25:260:25:29

Hopefully, my hands will hold it together enough not to shake and throw it all around the room.

0:25:300:25:36

Sharon, what are your two dishes that will secure your place?

0:25:410:25:45

Sardines with arugula and tomato salad and salsa verde.

0:25:450:25:49

And then rack of lamb with mashed potatoes and green beans.

0:25:490:25:54

I might try and do a posh jus, but I'm getting the food done first.

0:25:540:25:59

What, for you, are the difficult parts of cooking these two courses?

0:25:590:26:03

I'm trying my best to be focused and coordinated and get the timing right.

0:26:030:26:08

-What sort of cook do you think you are?

-Well, I'm changing.

0:26:080:26:11

I've always been a really basic, functional cook. Big stews and casseroles to feed big families.

0:26:110:26:18

This is a sophisticated version of what I would normally cook.

0:26:180:26:21

Sardines with salsa verde and a salad. Rack of lamb, mashed potato.

0:26:210:26:25

Are these two dishes enough? Are they good enough?

0:26:250:26:30

You can ask that question. It's what I want to cook, cos it's what I want to eat.

0:26:300:26:34

It's what I really like to eat.

0:26:340:26:36

We are seeing food from Sharon that she truly loves to eat.

0:26:390:26:42

Rack of lamb, herb crust, mashed potato.

0:26:420:26:45

But, Sharon, where's the sauce?

0:26:450:26:48

That lamb is going to be dry as anything without a decent sauce.

0:26:480:26:51

You are halfway. Half an hour left.

0:26:570:26:59

Justin, what are your two dishes today?

0:27:050:27:07

Today, I'm cooking for you pea and mint soup, as a starter,

0:27:070:27:10

and the main course is a fillet of beef on a potato base

0:27:100:27:14

with all manner of lovely winter veg.

0:27:140:27:17

-There aren't enough things on this table for you to do a silly Justin decoration.

-Exactly.

0:27:170:27:22

Less is more. That's what I'm learning so far.

0:27:220:27:24

Do you think you may have got it right just at the right time?

0:27:240:27:28

I want to win this competition. I want you to guide me along.

0:27:280:27:32

My worst nightmare is being in the final with Colin. Up against my partner. That would be tough.

0:27:320:27:37

It's where the emotional warfare would really start.

0:27:370:27:41

Today, I'm going to strip it back.

0:27:450:27:48

Bare bones. No fuss. No pomp. No ceremony.

0:27:480:27:51

Just good quality, well-cooked food.

0:27:510:27:55

Justin is doing a fillet of beef with accompanying vegetables.

0:27:570:28:00

John, we're used to seeing him over-decorate.

0:28:000:28:03

But has he gone the other way? Is he going too simple?

0:28:030:28:07

25 minutes, guys. 25 minutes left.

0:28:110:28:15

-Danny, what are you making for us?

-Raspberry souffles.

0:28:220:28:24

I'm just starting on the fish dish - halibut with some capers,

0:28:240:28:28

nutty butter, stuff like that, on a bed of kale.

0:28:280:28:31

Souffles? Danny, how risky is that?

0:28:310:28:33

I made it twice before. Once it didn't work. Once it's worked.

0:28:330:28:37

It's a pretty strong recipe. It should stand up. So, we'll see.

0:28:370:28:41

If they've not risen, you'll be standing there with your trousers down.

0:28:410:28:45

Well, it won't be the first time.

0:28:450:28:47

How big are your MasterChef ambitions?

0:28:470:28:50

They are to get into the semi-finals, which I'd love to do.

0:28:500:28:53

If I can pull this one off, I've got a chance.

0:28:530:28:55

As a Spurs fan, you're used to disappointment. How will you feel if you go home today?

0:28:550:29:00

I'd be really gutted.

0:29:000:29:02

Danny's doing raspberry souffles for dessert. That really worries me.

0:29:080:29:13

There's no making that good. They either work or they don't.

0:29:130:29:17

I think that's risky.

0:29:170:29:20

It's a bit of a gamble, the first time I'm cooking my own food.

0:29:220:29:25

If you don't take chances, your food's going to be a bit bland.

0:29:250:29:30

Come on, boys and girls! Four minutes!

0:29:330:29:36

Two minutes to get your food on the plates.

0:29:410:29:43

You've got one minute! Come on!

0:29:480:29:50

Mate, you've got to get that food up now and I mean right now!

0:29:530:29:56

Come on, come on! Let's go!

0:30:010:30:04

Time's up! Stop.

0:30:110:30:12

Please, cos you're now running over. It's taking the mickey out of the other contestants.

0:30:140:30:20

That's it, Colin. You need to stop. Stop!

0:30:220:30:25

Colin's main course is chicken stir fry on a bed of lettuce

0:30:380:30:42

with chives and soy sauce.

0:30:420:30:45

His dessert is deep-fried, battered, coconut chocolate bar with mango ice cream

0:30:450:30:51

and raspberry sauce.

0:30:510:30:53

There isn't a great deal to it. It's very pleasant.

0:30:580:31:01

It's fried chicken. There's pork in there as well and sweet onion.

0:31:010:31:05

It is street food, but it seems a bit one dimensional to me.

0:31:050:31:09

Sure. OK.

0:31:090:31:11

I really like that sticky chicken. Very salty but sweet.

0:31:170:31:21

I think it's a really good dish. If you hadn't got in a flap, it would have been a wonderful dish.

0:31:210:31:26

This is what's causing you so much concern - your dessert.

0:31:280:31:31

Cos it is supposed to have mango, chocolate on there and a raspberry coulis as well.

0:31:310:31:36

You just completely ran out of time and I had to stop you.

0:31:360:31:39

I couldn't get the batter right for the tempura and everything failed after that.

0:31:390:31:44

That is very inventive and that is fun.

0:31:520:31:56

That is a great deal of fun on a plate.

0:31:560:31:58

That ice cream does taste fruity and it's light.

0:31:580:32:01

But the star of the show is that chocolate and sweetened coconut in a crispy wrapper.

0:32:010:32:06

I think that is great!

0:32:060:32:10

You'll never ever sway me from saying

0:32:190:32:22

that deep frying and battering a chocolate bar is the right thing to do.

0:32:220:32:28

Ever.

0:32:280:32:29

OK.

0:32:290:32:31

Let's be fair, this really doesn't demonstrate your full potential.

0:32:310:32:37

Sharon has made a starter of sardines with salsa verde

0:32:390:32:44

and rocket and tomato salad.

0:32:440:32:46

Her main course is herb-crusted rack of lamb

0:32:480:32:51

with mashed potato, green beans, vine tomatoes

0:32:510:32:54

and spots of lamb sauce.

0:32:540:32:57

I think the rich strength of the sardines with the sourness and sharpness of tomato

0:33:030:33:07

and the sharpness of your green sauce works very well.

0:33:070:33:11

But, to me, a sardine like that needs to be chargrilled.

0:33:110:33:14

It needs a bitter finish to give it more of a flow.

0:33:140:33:18

Mm! Mm!

0:33:230:33:25

Yummy! Really, really yummy.

0:33:250:33:28

It's all very light and fresh, but still big on flavour.

0:33:280:33:31

I don't mind telling you, I really, really like that.

0:33:310:33:34

Sharon, from your sardines to your very nice rack of lamb.

0:33:360:33:41

Your mash is a bit grainy and a little bit under seasoned.

0:33:490:33:52

But with the freshness of the green beans, beautifully cooked lamb, that wonderful herby crust,

0:33:520:33:58

it's a really lovely thing to eat. I really like it.

0:33:580:34:01

But your sauce hasn't worked. It almost looks like a sneeze.

0:34:010:34:04

It's nicely made. It tastes nice. To take it beyond nice,

0:34:110:34:15

it needs something else and that is a sauce.

0:34:150:34:19

Yeah.

0:34:190:34:20

Justin's made a starter of pea and mint soup with crispy prosciutto

0:34:220:34:27

and creme fraiche.

0:34:270:34:29

His main course is fillet steak with dauphinoise potatoes,

0:34:290:34:34

baked carrots and shallots,

0:34:340:34:36

pan-fried beans with almonds and a beef sauce.

0:34:360:34:39

I really love that. I love the texture.

0:34:440:34:47

I like that there's bits of pea. I like that it's not smooth.

0:34:470:34:51

That is lovely. And there's not a sparkler or anything silly to spoil it.

0:34:510:34:55

-Well done!

-This is food unplugged by me now.

0:34:550:34:59

-Hallelujah!

-Thank you very much for that.

0:34:590:35:03

I find the mint a little bit sweet, but it's a good bowl of soup.

0:35:070:35:11

No denying it. Good bowl of soup. I quite like it.

0:35:110:35:14

-Thank you.

-That's your soup. Let's try your beef.

0:35:140:35:17

Again, I like the way your food's going. I like the look of this.

0:35:190:35:24

Bravo! Bravo! Wonderful.

0:35:300:35:34

That beef is lovely. That sauce is a knockout.

0:35:340:35:37

BUT too much garlic and it hasn't cooked out of your potatoes.

0:35:370:35:41

And it's very strong.

0:35:410:35:43

OK.

0:35:430:35:45

I don't like the charred, burnt flavour of your green beans.

0:35:500:35:55

But the rest of your dish looks like good food and it tastes like good food.

0:35:550:36:01

It's well seasoned.

0:36:010:36:04

It's well thought out, well cooked. Your sauce is lovely and rich and goes beautifully with the beef.

0:36:040:36:09

-It's a very good dish, Justin.

-Wow!

-Very good.

-Thank you.

0:36:090:36:15

Danny's main course is pan-fried halibut with clams

0:36:160:36:20

on a bed of kale with a caper and parsley butter sauce.

0:36:200:36:25

His dessert is raspberry souffle with a raspberry sauce.

0:36:250:36:29

Your fish is cooked beautifully.

0:36:330:36:36

Your kale is lovely and soft. Your clams are wonderful.

0:36:360:36:39

I think you have overdone it on the seasoning.

0:36:390:36:42

Saying that, I love the concept of the dish. Good job, Danny.

0:36:420:36:46

Now that's delicious. That is absolutely delicious.

0:36:550:36:59

That fish is strong and it's meaty and there is butteriness from your sauce.

0:36:590:37:04

There's also a bit of acidity. That's really good, Danny. Honestly, really good.

0:37:040:37:09

-Thanks.

-Let's move on from your halibut to your souffle.

0:37:090:37:12

What do I say about it really? It's a raspberry souffle.

0:37:200:37:24

A bit of raspberry sauce.

0:37:240:37:26

Faultless.

0:37:270:37:29

Absolutely faultless.

0:37:310:37:32

Your souffle itself is light and fluffy with that wonderful crust.

0:37:340:37:38

It's risen perfectly. It's a very lovely, well executed, beautifully cooked dish.

0:37:380:37:44

Thanks very much.

0:37:440:37:46

That is good! That's really good.

0:37:520:37:55

That souffle just disappears and leaves a hint of fruit and sugar on your tongue.

0:37:550:37:59

That's really good, Danny. That's accomplished cooking, mate. Really accomplished.

0:37:590:38:04

Thank you very much. That was great. Off you go.

0:38:130:38:16

I couldn't get the batter right for the tempura.

0:38:280:38:31

Mine went all right, I guess, but I feel sorry for Colin.

0:38:310:38:34

Not "sorry" but I feel for Colin because I know how he feels.

0:38:340:38:38

-I'm looking at you and it makes me cry.

-Everyone's in tears.

0:38:380:38:43

Today, there was one person who truly shined.

0:38:460:38:50

-Danny.

-Oh,wow!

0:38:500:38:51

Danny played with fire today and he didn't get burnt.

0:38:510:38:54

The souffle - perfect. Absolutely perfect.

0:38:540:38:57

Oh, mate! He's on fire.

0:38:570:39:00

Let's both agree he stays in the competition.

0:39:000:39:02

It was fairly mind blowing to get such good comments from John and Gregg.

0:39:020:39:07

I knew the souffle, if it came off, was quite sexy.

0:39:070:39:10

Pink, fluffy clouds, which my kids like as well.

0:39:100:39:13

Justin - what a surprise. He is listening.

0:39:130:39:17

Pea and mint soup - I think the soup itself was a bit sweet.

0:39:170:39:21

But lovely, really lovely. The main course with the fillet of beef.

0:39:210:39:25

It wasn't garnished with silly things,

0:39:250:39:28

like a pina colada, four slices of pineapple and a Carmen Miranda hat.

0:39:280:39:32

It was actually what it should have been.

0:39:320:39:35

What's really nice today, for me,

0:39:350:39:38

is being told my cooking is coming on. I did rein it in and they seem to think it worked.

0:39:380:39:43

So brilliant.

0:39:430:39:45

Danny is obviously going through.

0:39:450:39:47

I think Justin should join him.

0:39:470:39:51

-Agreed.

-Good.

-Colin.

0:39:510:39:53

The chicken dish was lovely and tasty.

0:39:530:39:56

Really good balance, but Colin got in a tiz.

0:39:560:39:59

His chocolate bars stuck to the bottom of the frying basket. Everything started to go wrong.

0:39:590:40:05

His dessert did not come off. It didn't work.

0:40:050:40:09

But I loved the ambition and the fun of his dessert.

0:40:090:40:12

Up to this stage, Colin has had a pretty good competition.

0:40:120:40:16

I think he's courageous and he understands good flavour combinations.

0:40:160:40:20

It's natural that you want to do your best.

0:40:200:40:23

I was so panicked during that.

0:40:230:40:26

I think I'm a bit disappointed actually.

0:40:260:40:29

I really, really love Sharon's sardines. I think it was great.

0:40:290:40:33

Sharon's sardines were nice, but they should have been charred.

0:40:330:40:36

The lamb dish, again, was nice, but it seemed a little bit unambitious to me.

0:40:360:40:41

If I'm out today,

0:40:410:40:44

I'm like, "It's because they don't think I've got the potential."

0:40:440:40:48

Yeah, I'll be disappointed.

0:40:480:40:51

We now have to decide between Colin and Sharon.

0:40:530:40:57

What do we do?

0:41:000:41:03

The person leaving us...

Is...

0:41:210:41:23

Colin.

0:41:360:41:38

JOHN: Thanks, Colin.

0:41:400:41:43

Gorgeous.

0:41:430:41:44

Well done, Juz.

0:41:440:41:47

-JOHN: Love your ambition, Coll. Love it!

-Thank you.

It was the chocolate bars.

0:41:580:42:01

Wasn't it? It was a step too far.

0:42:010:42:03

It would have been nice to have gone through,

0:42:040:42:07

but alas 'twas not to be.

0:42:070:42:11

Well done, mate.

0:42:150:42:17

I am actually proud of myself and in shock. I've gone through. It's like unreal.

0:42:200:42:26

I want to do as well as I possibly can for Colin as well.

0:42:270:42:31

And I'd be really proud to do that.

0:42:310:42:33

I'm over the moon to go through. Hopefully, I've got loads more to give.

0:42:330:42:38

Tomorrow, the battle intensifies,

0:42:440:42:48

as these three celebrities fight to stay in the competition.

0:42:480:42:53

I've got the scallops ready. I need my tortelli, please.

0:42:530:42:56

How do I know if it's cooked? Will somebody check?

0:42:560:42:59

I'm nervous.

0:43:000:43:02

Four starters of the day! Four asparagus, my friend.

0:43:040:43:08

Two, no eggs! Quick, quick!

0:43:080:43:10

I need the octopus on the pass!

0:43:110:43:14

Danny, come here.

0:43:150:43:16

Look at this! They're dry! They're no good!

0:43:160:43:20

Come on, do it again. Quick!
