16 celebrities are battling it out | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
to win the coveted MasterChef crown. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
I'd like to win it. That would be a wonderful feeling. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
These celebrities have reached the top of their profession. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
But can they cut it in the kitchen? | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
I'm having fun. I'm throwing myself out of my comfort zone. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
I'd love to do well. I need a bit of help from the spiritual place. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:30 | |
Just watch this! | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
Cooking doesn't get tougher than this. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
All this week, these four celebrities have been taking on the challenge | 0:00:50 | 0:00:55 | |
to become the next MasterChef champion. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
But at the end of today, one of them will be going home. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:04 | |
Celebrity MasterChef and this competition just gets fiercer and fiercer. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:09 | |
Now is the time to step up to the mark. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
This is really tough. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
You are under the microscope. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
I'd feel disappointed if I went, the first one to go. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
I think I've got more to give. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
It's exactly like an opening night of a play. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
10,000 times worse when you're standing in the wings. When you're on stage, you go, | 0:01:36 | 0:01:41 | |
"OK, good. I'm here!" | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
I've thrown myself in several ways | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
on a couple of occasions, but I've learned | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
to accept the challenge as it unravels and give it my absolute best. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
But to say that felt a bit like a rabbit caught in headlamps | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
is an understatement. | 0:01:58 | 0:01:59 | |
To decide who stays, the celebrities will face two challenges | 0:02:02 | 0:02:06 | |
to show just how far they've come. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
We've tested their skills. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
We've seen their teamwork, but we're back to individual tasks. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
And we want to see how they cope on their own. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
This is a tough, long day. At the end of this one of them is going to go home. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
The classic recipe today is steamed sea bass with ginger and spring onions, | 0:02:30 | 0:02:35 | |
perfectly cooked rice and sweet chilli sauce. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
Oh, baby! | 0:02:38 | 0:02:39 | |
The first thing I'm going to do is get the rice on. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
Put some rice in a pot. You wash it three times to get rid of the excess starch. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
Put it on the heat. You let it boil for five or six minutes. Turn the heat off. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
Don't touch it. You must never ever, ever remove that lid. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
And your rice will be perfectly cooked. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
Now we're going to prepare the sea bass. I'm going to square the ginger off. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:08 | |
Spring onions the same and that then goes inside our bass. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:13 | |
And that becomes fragrant from the inside. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
Ginger is very strong and it's too potent. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
So it needs to be really fine. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
Mix the ginger and the spring onions together. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
Into a bowl, two or three spoonfuls of Shaoxing wine. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:36 | |
And then the soya sauce. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
Half the quantity of soya sauce to the wine. Mix that all together. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:43 | |
Cut the tail off the bass. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
Now make some little scoring bits | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
into the flesh. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
Take a bit of banana leaf and put some holes in it, | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
so the steam can go through. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
Put the banana leaf inside the steamer. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
And then our fish on top. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
Put on top of that the mixture of spring onions and ginger. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
And then pour on to that our Shaoxing wine and our soya sauce. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:15 | |
Pop the lid back on the steamer. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
Don't touch it for a good ten minutes. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
I'm enjoying this recipe. I can't see any reason why they shouldn't do this with aplomb. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:29 | |
It's time to make sweet chilli sauce. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
Not a difficult thing at all. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
Two good-size chillies, seeds removed. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
Couple of decent pieces of pineapple in there. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
And then about 100 grammes of sugar. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
And about 100ml of vinegar. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
Then add to that a decent splash of water. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
On to the stove. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:00 | |
The sweet chilli sauce needs to boil for five minutes to cook the pineapple and chilli. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
And then we just blend it in a food processor. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
I can't see a lot going wrong with this, John. This is doable. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:17 | |
The next thing is to actually put the dish together on the plate. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
We're now going to release the flavour of those spring onions | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
and bring this fish to life. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
Seriously hot pan - been on the stove - with sesame oil. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:44 | |
Back on that heat for a second till it's almost about to smoke. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:49 | |
And then you pour. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
Chinese sea bass, spring onions, ginger, | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
perfectly cooked rice and sweet chilli sauce. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
John, we are in for a treat here, IF our celebrities are up to the challenge. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:12 | |
-Get 'em in? -Let's get them in. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:13 | |
Welcome back to the start of a big day today. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:32 | |
We have a recipe - a John Torode recipe. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
Today's classic recipe is steamed sea bass. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
You do it properly, it will be beautiful. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
You do it badly and it will be not very nice at all. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:49 | |
You will have one hour to cook this classic recipe. Do it well. Let's cook. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:55 | |
Justin - TV presenter and a property developer, | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
and a man who has eye for design. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
It's a good-looking, modern plate of food. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
If he has a weakness, he tries to throw too much on a plate. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
15 ingredients in one bowl. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
He needs to focus today. Just deliver what needs to be delivered. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:34 | |
Forget the other bits and pieces. Just deliver the heart and soul of the dish. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:38 | |
I really hope that today gives me a new opportunity to excel. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:47 | |
I would really like to do well. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
Justin, Asian food - the sort of food you love to cook? | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
I haven't cooked much Asian stuff before | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
and I'm not the biggest kind of fish cooker, to be frank. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
-Why is it that you don't cook much fish? -I'm a meat lover. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:05 | |
I've avoided fish. I think, like a lot of people, I'm wary of cooking fish. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:09 | |
That's why I'm here. I want to learn. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
What happens if Colin goes and you stay, Justin? You love to work together. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:15 | |
Whichever of us does better than the other, I hope that one person represents the other. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
-What do you have to do now in the competition? -I want to get better. I want to stay the course. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:24 | |
-Today, boys, I need you to smile from ear to ear as you chow down on my fish. -Hmm? | 0:08:24 | 0:08:29 | |
We know that Justin relies upon Colin for moral support. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
He likes to work as a pair, but today he has to stand alone as an individual. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:42 | |
15 minutes you've had. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:51 | |
Danny - musician and a creative mind. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:03 | |
He cooks for his family and his friends. When he puts his mind to it, | 0:09:03 | 0:09:08 | |
he delivers food which is interesting and stylised. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
It looked great when it went out. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
It tastes great now on the plate. I think he's done a really good job. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
But his dishes don't always hit the mark. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:23 | |
It needs more flavour. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
There's a little hint of spice, but it needs more. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
He may have what it takes. Today is going to show whether he is the real McCoy. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:36 | |
I guess my family have only ever seen me play music or make a lot of noise. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
I think they just find it really funny. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
They just think it's really weird that Dad's on telly, cooking. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:51 | |
How are you doing, Danny? | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
Comfortable, happy? | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
It's something I've never done before. This is a bit tricky. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:04 | |
But you've got to conquer your worries. Something new is good to learn. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:08 | |
-What's the competition mean to you, Danny? -I'm getting a passion for it really. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
I've been cooking for my family a lot. I cooked a big meal for my cousins last week. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:17 | |
The passion's growing a bit and it's something interesting to do with my hands. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:22 | |
-How is the competition for you? -It's hard to tell. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |
I haven't destroyed anything yet, which is probably a good sign. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:28 | |
I want to get past the next stage and get into the semis. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
That's my goal at the moment - to get into the semis. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
-And what happens if you don't? -If I don't, I'll just go down the pub or something. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:39 | |
Go and watch football. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
Danny seems happy, although he's never done anything like this before. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
It's now up to Danny to make sure he presents that dish beautifully. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:52 | |
You're halfway. Halfway. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
-What's happened? -I think I've overcooked my rice. I must have put too much water in it. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:04 | |
If you overcook that one, I have no more. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:07 | |
Sharon - a star of stage and television. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:15 | |
At the early stages of this competition, Sharon was unwell | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
and we haven't seen a huge amount of her, but what we have seen is truly impressive. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:24 | |
There's nothing wrong with your cooking that a deep breath and a count to ten wouldnt cure. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:32 | |
In the team challenges, she delivers. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
That's not bad at all. I'm really impressed. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
-Yeah, so am I. -I'd eat the whole thing actually. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
I wonder, with her being ill in the earlier rounds, whether that's hindered her development so far? | 0:11:41 | 0:11:47 | |
But today she's got a chance to make up ground. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:51 | |
It's unforgivable that I'm so terrified. It makes no sense at all. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:58 | |
I feel as though I'm going to the hangman's noose. It's ridiculous. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
-Tell us what happened to your rice. -I overcooked it. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:09 | |
Are you able to concentrate on one thing at a time? | 0:12:09 | 0:12:13 | |
Or does your mind just race everywhere all the time? | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
It tends to race. Focus is a big issue for me. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
Can you focus enough to deliver a beautiful dish, flavoured well? | 0:12:18 | 0:12:23 | |
-I'm trying. -Are you going to be as good on your own as you have been...? | 0:12:23 | 0:12:27 | |
I know, I know. It's a big issue for me, that. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
I was missing Danny today. He was quietly watching my back. I liked that. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:34 | |
Sharon, she started OK and then she overcooked her rice. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:41 | |
I hope that hasn't knocked her confidence and I hope that means she can finish on time. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:45 | |
You have just under 20 minutes left. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
Just under 20 minutes. Steamed sea bass, rice, sweet chilli sauce. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:55 | |
Colin - TV presenter and an interior designer. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:02 | |
Throughout this competition he has been consistent with his delivery. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
I think that's a decent dish. The sort of thing I would order. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
But he's made some technical errors. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
Your heat is too high and you don't have enough oil in your pan. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:19 | |
He doesn't have a great deal of confidence, but he has the makings of a very good cook. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
I feel like I want to know more. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
I'm enjoying the fact that it's kind of unleashed... | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
..A hunger. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
-Colin. -Yes. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:39 | |
-Tough ask? -For some weird, strange reason I feel more nervous than I've ever felt in my adult life. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:45 | |
-Really? -It's bizarre. I've got that strange, pre-exam feeling. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:49 | |
Do you think you're starting some of your tasks in a flap? | 0:13:49 | 0:13:53 | |
That is exactly it and the fact I'm in a flap is getting in the way of me getting on with it. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:59 | |
Do you think you may be in danger of going out the competition? | 0:13:59 | 0:14:03 | |
I can only do my best. I've really enjoyed being here. It's been a really positive experience so far. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:08 | |
-You are one half of a dynamic duo. -Indeed. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
What happens if Justin goes home? | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
I'll just have to step up to the plate and make it happen. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
-Have you ever cooked fish? -Never. This is my first fish. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
-Wow! -I'm a virgin, regarding all things fishy. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:25 | |
Colin's doing OK, but he looks nervous. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:33 | |
He's admitted he's never cooked a fish before. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
What's the chance of cooking fish for the first time ever and it coming out perfectly? | 0:14:35 | 0:14:40 | |
You've got five minutes left. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:45 | |
Three minutes. Just three minutes. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:53 | |
30 seconds. Last 30 seconds. Finishing touches. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
Time's up! Time's up! Finished. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
We asked you to cook Chinese-style sea bass with spring onions and ginger, | 0:15:32 | 0:15:36 | |
with steamed rice and a sweet chilli sauce. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:41 | |
You're up on time. That's great. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
Now it's all about how it tastes and whether it's cooked properly. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:47 | |
-Danny, you're up first. -Mm-hm. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
What are the black bits on your rice, Danny? | 0:16:04 | 0:16:06 | |
I think I might have drizzled a tiny bit of the sesame oil on it. But it was a mistake actually. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:12 | |
I think the other thing was your pan wasn't clean enough. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
That sesame oil that goes over the top is to cook the spring onions. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:19 | |
It shouldn't have little black bits in the bottom of it. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
Your fish is cooked beautifully. Still lovely and sweet and succulent inside. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
I like the way the spring onions and ginger are cooked through. They're not big chunks. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:39 | |
Your chilli sauce is vibrant with chilli. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
Your rice is cooked really, really well. I like it a lot. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
I think you've done a really, really good job. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
Really good job. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
I can find nothing wrong with that whatsoever, Danny. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
Absolutely nothing wrong with that. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
-I would happily now eat the lot. -Well, you can. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:02 | |
Danny, that's a really, really good dish. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:04 | |
Cheers. Thanks very much. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
I burnt the oil a bit. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
I thought I'd put a bit on the rice to make it taste of sesame oil. That was a silly decision. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:15 | |
Justin, let's have a look at yours. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
Pineapple's not necessary. You're not going to eat it. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:24 | |
When you do things like that, it detracts from when you do a good job. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:28 | |
Good job! Good job. Nice, soft, meaty fish. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:38 | |
Sweet sauce with a tang. My only complaint is rice really watery. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:44 | |
-I rinsed it under boiling water. -That's a mistake. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:47 | |
Beautifully steamed piece of fish, fragrant with ginger and spring onions. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:58 | |
Wonderful sweet chilli sauce, but your rice is overcooked | 0:17:58 | 0:18:02 | |
and you don't need to elaborate with the garnish. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:04 | |
From now on, no more garnish. I'm garnish free. I am! | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
I'm back to basics. I'm going nude. I am paring it back. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:11 | |
-Promise? -On a stack of Holy Bibles, non-denominational. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:15 | |
I need to stop garnishing, but I'm a designer. I'm always looking for ways to beautify. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:21 | |
I'm looking for ways to make the ordinary extraordinary. Pineapple didn't fall into that category. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:27 | |
Colin, let's have a look. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
Your fish is lovely. It's cooked beautifully. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
Your chilli sauce is a little bit jam-like and the oil you put across the top was not hot enough. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:48 | |
Cold oil has gone on to the plate and sat underneath your rice and made your rice greasy. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:53 | |
Fish is cooked really well. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
Really, really well, BUT the ginger hasn't cooked enough. Too powerful for me. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:09 | |
Sesame oil over the rice detracts from it. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
Isn't it just the way that your rice is fine, your fish is fine, | 0:19:15 | 0:19:19 | |
and one little flash of smoking oil let's the whole thing down? | 0:19:19 | 0:19:23 | |
Sharon. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:26 | |
Fish, absolutely love it and love that the ginger has softened. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
The rice is a bit firm. It would have been perfect if you'd cooked the rice a bit longer. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:42 | |
Your fish is cooked beautifully, but your rice is undercooked | 0:19:48 | 0:19:52 | |
and your sweet chilli sauce is too sweet. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
But, for me, the best cooked piece of fish in the room. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
Beautifully cooked. Love it! | 0:19:59 | 0:20:03 | |
My rice is bothering me. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:06 | |
Sometimes you get the ball in the goal mouth. Sometimes you don't. I didn't do my best. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:11 | |
The next time we see you, | 0:20:11 | 0:20:13 | |
one of you is going to be leaving us. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
Thanks very much. See you soon. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
Do you know what? | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
-I'm really impressed. -I'm very impressed. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
-JUSTIN: -Danny, group hug! | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
That was a solid round and a couple of contestants have surprised me. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:43 | |
Danny is class and he is growing in stature. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |
That guy is delivering on the money. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:52 | |
The only thing wrong with Danny's dish today was that oil was a little bit burnt. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:56 | |
Otherwise, Danny's dish was near on perfect. | 0:20:56 | 0:21:00 | |
Today, Justin gave me something I really, really enjoyed. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:04 | |
He couldn't resist his temptation to add more to it. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
So we had two great big slices of pineapple for reasons best left unexplored. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:12 | |
But that rice was really overcooked and really watery. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:16 | |
And why he thinks he has to keep on adding things that aren't necessary, I am unsure. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:21 | |
Colin was honest enough to admit he'd never cooked a fish before. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:27 | |
Brilliant chilli sauce, beautifully cooked fish. The last two minutes was where it all fell down. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:34 | |
That sesame oil should have been boiling hot, then poured over the fish. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
Instead it went all over the plate and made the whole thing greasy. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:42 | |
Sharon, for me, has a plate divided right down the middle. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:49 | |
One half has a brilliantly flavoured, wonderfully cooked fish in it. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:53 | |
The other one has undercooked rice. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:55 | |
If Sharon had concentrated on cooking that rice properly, she would have delivered a good dish. | 0:21:55 | 0:22:01 | |
So far this week, the celebrities have been tested on their basic skill. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:15 | |
Teamwork. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
And refined cooking. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
They now have one last chance to prove they've got what it takes to stay in the competition, | 0:22:25 | 0:22:31 | |
because one of them will be going home. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:35 | |
I always wonder what their own food is like. We're going to finally find out. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:39 | |
It is D-Day. Finally, we're getting to do our own recipes. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:44 | |
Then, of course, one of us will be despatched. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
When you're cooking your own food you feel slightly more responsible, cos you've got no excuses. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:53 | |
I feel like a broken record. I'm nervous. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
I've gone through a whole gamut of emotions from blind panic to complete calm. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:05 | |
When I'm in front of Gregg and John, it's like being in the lion pit. Those boys are tough! | 0:23:07 | 0:23:13 | |
I'm feeling really, really happy about cooking my sort of ideas for food. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:19 | |
Knowing what I'm doing, I feel fairly confident. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:23 | |
One hour, your two dishes. This is where it truly counts. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:39 | |
Let's cook. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:46 | |
What are you making? What are your two courses, Colin? | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
I'm making a san choy bow - a chicken stir fry that should be a bite-size bit of perfection. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:10 | |
And I'm doing my own version of the Scottish, deep-fried Mars Bar. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:14 | |
I'm doing a chocolate and coconut tempura with homemade mango ice cream. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:19 | |
-Are you seriously going to deep fry a chocolate bar? -Yes, I am. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
-Why? -People say about Scottish food, it's really bad for you | 0:24:22 | 0:24:26 | |
and yet you go to Asia and it's tempura and it's fantastic. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:30 | |
-Have you eaten a fried chocolate bar before? -No. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:34 | |
-Have you made this dish before? -Yes. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:38 | |
-Is that what you're going for? You want something different. -Yeah. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:42 | |
I want more than meat, potatoes and veg. Don't underestimate the power of the bar. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:46 | |
Colin's going to deep fry a chocolate bar | 0:24:53 | 0:24:56 | |
and serve it with mango ice cream. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:58 | |
John, it might sound crazy. I'm actually really looking forward it. I'm intrigued. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:04 | |
We have an hour, and I have to make ice cream from scratch. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:09 | |
I've got to be able to scope out the ice cream and pop it on there | 0:25:09 | 0:25:14 | |
and for it to retain its form and not just to go phtt! | 0:25:14 | 0:25:17 | |
Nearly 20 minutes gone. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:22 | |
Endless things could go wrong today. You never know. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
Hopefully, my hands will hold it together enough not to shake and throw it all around the room. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:36 | |
Sharon, what are your two dishes that will secure your place? | 0:25:41 | 0:25:45 | |
Sardines with arugula and tomato salad and salsa verde. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:49 | |
And then rack of lamb with mashed potatoes and green beans. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:54 | |
I might try and do a posh jus, but I'm getting the food done first. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:59 | |
What, for you, are the difficult parts of cooking these two courses? | 0:25:59 | 0:26:03 | |
I'm trying my best to be focused and coordinated and get the timing right. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:08 | |
-What sort of cook do you think you are? -Well, I'm changing. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:11 | |
I've always been a really basic, functional cook. Big stews and casseroles to feed big families. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:18 | |
This is a sophisticated version of what I would normally cook. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:21 | |
Sardines with salsa verde and a salad. Rack of lamb, mashed potato. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:25 | |
Are these two dishes enough? Are they good enough? | 0:26:25 | 0:26:30 | |
You can ask that question. It's what I want to cook, cos it's what I want to eat. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:34 | |
It's what I really like to eat. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:36 | |
We are seeing food from Sharon that she truly loves to eat. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
Rack of lamb, herb crust, mashed potato. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:45 | |
But, Sharon, where's the sauce? | 0:26:45 | 0:26:48 | |
That lamb is going to be dry as anything without a decent sauce. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:51 | |
You are halfway. Half an hour left. | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
Justin, what are your two dishes today? | 0:27:05 | 0:27:07 | |
Today, I'm cooking for you pea and mint soup, as a starter, | 0:27:07 | 0:27:10 | |
and the main course is a fillet of beef on a potato base | 0:27:10 | 0:27:14 | |
with all manner of lovely winter veg. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:17 | |
-There aren't enough things on this table for you to do a silly Justin decoration. -Exactly. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:22 | |
Less is more. That's what I'm learning so far. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:24 | |
Do you think you may have got it right just at the right time? | 0:27:24 | 0:27:28 | |
I want to win this competition. I want you to guide me along. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:32 | |
My worst nightmare is being in the final with Colin. Up against my partner. That would be tough. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:37 | |
It's where the emotional warfare would really start. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:41 | |
Today, I'm going to strip it back. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:48 | |
Bare bones. No fuss. No pomp. No ceremony. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:51 | |
Just good quality, well-cooked food. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:55 | |
Justin is doing a fillet of beef with accompanying vegetables. | 0:27:57 | 0:28:00 | |
John, we're used to seeing him over-decorate. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:03 | |
But has he gone the other way? Is he going too simple? | 0:28:03 | 0:28:07 | |
25 minutes, guys. 25 minutes left. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:15 | |
-Danny, what are you making for us? -Raspberry souffles. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:24 | |
I'm just starting on the fish dish - halibut with some capers, | 0:28:24 | 0:28:28 | |
nutty butter, stuff like that, on a bed of kale. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:31 | |
Souffles? Danny, how risky is that? | 0:28:31 | 0:28:33 | |
I made it twice before. Once it didn't work. Once it's worked. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:37 | |
It's a pretty strong recipe. It should stand up. So, we'll see. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:41 | |
If they've not risen, you'll be standing there with your trousers down. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:45 | |
Well, it won't be the first time. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:47 | |
How big are your MasterChef ambitions? | 0:28:47 | 0:28:50 | |
They are to get into the semi-finals, which I'd love to do. | 0:28:50 | 0:28:53 | |
If I can pull this one off, I've got a chance. | 0:28:53 | 0:28:55 | |
As a Spurs fan, you're used to disappointment. How will you feel if you go home today? | 0:28:55 | 0:29:00 | |
I'd be really gutted. | 0:29:00 | 0:29:02 | |
Danny's doing raspberry souffles for dessert. That really worries me. | 0:29:08 | 0:29:13 | |
There's no making that good. They either work or they don't. | 0:29:13 | 0:29:17 | |
I think that's risky. | 0:29:17 | 0:29:20 | |
It's a bit of a gamble, the first time I'm cooking my own food. | 0:29:22 | 0:29:25 | |
If you don't take chances, your food's going to be a bit bland. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:30 | |
Come on, boys and girls! Four minutes! | 0:29:33 | 0:29:36 | |
Two minutes to get your food on the plates. | 0:29:41 | 0:29:43 | |
You've got one minute! Come on! | 0:29:48 | 0:29:50 | |
Mate, you've got to get that food up now and I mean right now! | 0:29:53 | 0:29:56 | |
Come on, come on! Let's go! | 0:30:01 | 0:30:04 | |
Time's up! Stop. | 0:30:11 | 0:30:12 | |
Please, cos you're now running over. It's taking the mickey out of the other contestants. | 0:30:14 | 0:30:20 | |
That's it, Colin. You need to stop. Stop! | 0:30:22 | 0:30:25 | |
Colin's main course is chicken stir fry on a bed of lettuce | 0:30:38 | 0:30:42 | |
with chives and soy sauce. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:45 | |
His dessert is deep-fried, battered, coconut chocolate bar with mango ice cream | 0:30:45 | 0:30:51 | |
and raspberry sauce. | 0:30:51 | 0:30:53 | |
There isn't a great deal to it. It's very pleasant. | 0:30:58 | 0:31:01 | |
It's fried chicken. There's pork in there as well and sweet onion. | 0:31:01 | 0:31:05 | |
It is street food, but it seems a bit one dimensional to me. | 0:31:05 | 0:31:09 | |
Sure. OK. | 0:31:09 | 0:31:11 | |
I really like that sticky chicken. Very salty but sweet. | 0:31:17 | 0:31:21 | |
I think it's a really good dish. If you hadn't got in a flap, it would have been a wonderful dish. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:26 | |
This is what's causing you so much concern - your dessert. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:31 | |
Cos it is supposed to have mango, chocolate on there and a raspberry coulis as well. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:36 | |
You just completely ran out of time and I had to stop you. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:39 | |
I couldn't get the batter right for the tempura and everything failed after that. | 0:31:39 | 0:31:44 | |
That is very inventive and that is fun. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:56 | |
That is a great deal of fun on a plate. | 0:31:56 | 0:31:58 | |
That ice cream does taste fruity and it's light. | 0:31:58 | 0:32:01 | |
But the star of the show is that chocolate and sweetened coconut in a crispy wrapper. | 0:32:01 | 0:32:06 | |
I think that is great! | 0:32:06 | 0:32:10 | |
You'll never ever sway me from saying | 0:32:19 | 0:32:22 | |
that deep frying and battering a chocolate bar is the right thing to do. | 0:32:22 | 0:32:28 | |
Ever. | 0:32:28 | 0:32:29 | |
OK. | 0:32:29 | 0:32:31 | |
Let's be fair, this really doesn't demonstrate your full potential. | 0:32:31 | 0:32:37 | |
Sharon has made a starter of sardines with salsa verde | 0:32:39 | 0:32:44 | |
and rocket and tomato salad. | 0:32:44 | 0:32:46 | |
Her main course is herb-crusted rack of lamb | 0:32:48 | 0:32:51 | |
with mashed potato, green beans, vine tomatoes | 0:32:51 | 0:32:54 | |
and spots of lamb sauce. | 0:32:54 | 0:32:57 | |
I think the rich strength of the sardines with the sourness and sharpness of tomato | 0:33:03 | 0:33:07 | |
and the sharpness of your green sauce works very well. | 0:33:07 | 0:33:11 | |
But, to me, a sardine like that needs to be chargrilled. | 0:33:11 | 0:33:14 | |
It needs a bitter finish to give it more of a flow. | 0:33:14 | 0:33:18 | |
Mm! Mm! | 0:33:23 | 0:33:25 | |
Yummy! Really, really yummy. | 0:33:25 | 0:33:28 | |
It's all very light and fresh, but still big on flavour. | 0:33:28 | 0:33:31 | |
I don't mind telling you, I really, really like that. | 0:33:31 | 0:33:34 | |
Sharon, from your sardines to your very nice rack of lamb. | 0:33:36 | 0:33:41 | |
Your mash is a bit grainy and a little bit under seasoned. | 0:33:49 | 0:33:52 | |
But with the freshness of the green beans, beautifully cooked lamb, that wonderful herby crust, | 0:33:52 | 0:33:58 | |
it's a really lovely thing to eat. I really like it. | 0:33:58 | 0:34:01 | |
But your sauce hasn't worked. It almost looks like a sneeze. | 0:34:01 | 0:34:04 | |
It's nicely made. It tastes nice. To take it beyond nice, | 0:34:11 | 0:34:15 | |
it needs something else and that is a sauce. | 0:34:15 | 0:34:19 | |
Yeah. | 0:34:19 | 0:34:20 | |
Justin's made a starter of pea and mint soup with crispy prosciutto | 0:34:22 | 0:34:27 | |
and creme fraiche. | 0:34:27 | 0:34:29 | |
His main course is fillet steak with dauphinoise potatoes, | 0:34:29 | 0:34:34 | |
baked carrots and shallots, | 0:34:34 | 0:34:36 | |
pan-fried beans with almonds and a beef sauce. | 0:34:36 | 0:34:39 | |
I really love that. I love the texture. | 0:34:44 | 0:34:47 | |
I like that there's bits of pea. I like that it's not smooth. | 0:34:47 | 0:34:51 | |
That is lovely. And there's not a sparkler or anything silly to spoil it. | 0:34:51 | 0:34:55 | |
-Well done! -This is food unplugged by me now. | 0:34:55 | 0:34:59 | |
-Hallelujah! -Thank you very much for that. | 0:34:59 | 0:35:03 | |
I find the mint a little bit sweet, but it's a good bowl of soup. | 0:35:07 | 0:35:11 | |
No denying it. Good bowl of soup. I quite like it. | 0:35:11 | 0:35:14 | |
-Thank you. -That's your soup. Let's try your beef. | 0:35:14 | 0:35:17 | |
Again, I like the way your food's going. I like the look of this. | 0:35:19 | 0:35:24 | |
Bravo! Bravo! Wonderful. | 0:35:30 | 0:35:34 | |
That beef is lovely. That sauce is a knockout. | 0:35:34 | 0:35:37 | |
BUT too much garlic and it hasn't cooked out of your potatoes. | 0:35:37 | 0:35:41 | |
And it's very strong. | 0:35:41 | 0:35:43 | |
OK. | 0:35:43 | 0:35:45 | |
I don't like the charred, burnt flavour of your green beans. | 0:35:50 | 0:35:55 | |
But the rest of your dish looks like good food and it tastes like good food. | 0:35:55 | 0:36:01 | |
It's well seasoned. | 0:36:01 | 0:36:04 | |
It's well thought out, well cooked. Your sauce is lovely and rich and goes beautifully with the beef. | 0:36:04 | 0:36:09 | |
-It's a very good dish, Justin. -Wow! -Very good. -Thank you. | 0:36:09 | 0:36:15 | |
Danny's main course is pan-fried halibut with clams | 0:36:16 | 0:36:20 | |
on a bed of kale with a caper and parsley butter sauce. | 0:36:20 | 0:36:25 | |
His dessert is raspberry souffle with a raspberry sauce. | 0:36:25 | 0:36:29 | |
Your fish is cooked beautifully. | 0:36:33 | 0:36:36 | |
Your kale is lovely and soft. Your clams are wonderful. | 0:36:36 | 0:36:39 | |
I think you have overdone it on the seasoning. | 0:36:39 | 0:36:42 | |
Saying that, I love the concept of the dish. Good job, Danny. | 0:36:42 | 0:36:46 | |
Now that's delicious. That is absolutely delicious. | 0:36:55 | 0:36:59 | |
That fish is strong and it's meaty and there is butteriness from your sauce. | 0:36:59 | 0:37:04 | |
There's also a bit of acidity. That's really good, Danny. Honestly, really good. | 0:37:04 | 0:37:09 | |
-Thanks. -Let's move on from your halibut to your souffle. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:12 | |
What do I say about it really? It's a raspberry souffle. | 0:37:20 | 0:37:24 | |
A bit of raspberry sauce. | 0:37:24 | 0:37:26 | |
Faultless. | 0:37:27 | 0:37:29 | |
Absolutely faultless. | 0:37:31 | 0:37:32 | |
Your souffle itself is light and fluffy with that wonderful crust. | 0:37:34 | 0:37:38 | |
It's risen perfectly. It's a very lovely, well executed, beautifully cooked dish. | 0:37:38 | 0:37:44 | |
Thanks very much. | 0:37:44 | 0:37:46 | |
That is good! That's really good. | 0:37:52 | 0:37:55 | |
That souffle just disappears and leaves a hint of fruit and sugar on your tongue. | 0:37:55 | 0:37:59 | |
That's really good, Danny. That's accomplished cooking, mate. Really accomplished. | 0:37:59 | 0:38:04 | |
Thank you very much. That was great. Off you go. | 0:38:13 | 0:38:16 | |
I couldn't get the batter right for the tempura. | 0:38:28 | 0:38:31 | |
Mine went all right, I guess, but I feel sorry for Colin. | 0:38:31 | 0:38:34 | |
Not "sorry" but I feel for Colin because I know how he feels. | 0:38:34 | 0:38:38 | |
-I'm looking at you and it makes me cry. -Everyone's in tears. | 0:38:38 | 0:38:43 | |
Today, there was one person who truly shined. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:50 | |
-Danny. -Oh,wow! | 0:38:50 | 0:38:51 | |
Danny played with fire today and he didn't get burnt. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:54 | |
The souffle - perfect. Absolutely perfect. | 0:38:54 | 0:38:57 | |
Oh, mate! He's on fire. | 0:38:57 | 0:39:00 | |
Let's both agree he stays in the competition. | 0:39:00 | 0:39:02 | |
It was fairly mind blowing to get such good comments from John and Gregg. | 0:39:02 | 0:39:07 | |
I knew the souffle, if it came off, was quite sexy. | 0:39:07 | 0:39:10 | |
Pink, fluffy clouds, which my kids like as well. | 0:39:10 | 0:39:13 | |
Justin - what a surprise. He is listening. | 0:39:13 | 0:39:17 | |
Pea and mint soup - I think the soup itself was a bit sweet. | 0:39:17 | 0:39:21 | |
But lovely, really lovely. The main course with the fillet of beef. | 0:39:21 | 0:39:25 | |
It wasn't garnished with silly things, | 0:39:25 | 0:39:28 | |
like a pina colada, four slices of pineapple and a Carmen Miranda hat. | 0:39:28 | 0:39:32 | |
It was actually what it should have been. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:35 | |
What's really nice today, for me, | 0:39:35 | 0:39:38 | |
is being told my cooking is coming on. I did rein it in and they seem to think it worked. | 0:39:38 | 0:39:43 | |
So brilliant. | 0:39:43 | 0:39:45 | |
Danny is obviously going through. | 0:39:45 | 0:39:47 | |
I think Justin should join him. | 0:39:47 | 0:39:51 | |
-Agreed. -Good. -Colin. | 0:39:51 | 0:39:53 | |
The chicken dish was lovely and tasty. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:56 | |
Really good balance, but Colin got in a tiz. | 0:39:56 | 0:39:59 | |
His chocolate bars stuck to the bottom of the frying basket. Everything started to go wrong. | 0:39:59 | 0:40:05 | |
His dessert did not come off. It didn't work. | 0:40:05 | 0:40:09 | |
But I loved the ambition and the fun of his dessert. | 0:40:09 | 0:40:12 | |
Up to this stage, Colin has had a pretty good competition. | 0:40:12 | 0:40:16 | |
I think he's courageous and he understands good flavour combinations. | 0:40:16 | 0:40:20 | |
It's natural that you want to do your best. | 0:40:20 | 0:40:23 | |
I was so panicked during that. | 0:40:23 | 0:40:26 | |
I think I'm a bit disappointed actually. | 0:40:26 | 0:40:29 | |
I really, really love Sharon's sardines. I think it was great. | 0:40:29 | 0:40:33 | |
Sharon's sardines were nice, but they should have been charred. | 0:40:33 | 0:40:36 | |
The lamb dish, again, was nice, but it seemed a little bit unambitious to me. | 0:40:36 | 0:40:41 | |
If I'm out today, | 0:40:41 | 0:40:44 | |
I'm like, "It's because they don't think I've got the potential." | 0:40:44 | 0:40:48 | |
Yeah, I'll be disappointed. | 0:40:48 | 0:40:51 | |
We now have to decide between Colin and Sharon. | 0:40:53 | 0:40:57 | |
What do we do? | 0:41:00 | 0:41:03 | |
The person leaving us... | 0:41:17 | 0:41:19 | |
Is... | 0:41:21 | 0:41:23 | |
Colin. | 0:41:36 | 0:41:38 | |
JOHN: Thanks, Colin. | 0:41:40 | 0:41:43 | |
Gorgeous. | 0:41:43 | 0:41:44 | |
Well done, Juz. | 0:41:44 | 0:41:47 | |
-JOHN: Love your ambition, Coll. Love it! -Thank you. | 0:41:47 | 0:41:50 | |
It was the chocolate bars. | 0:41:58 | 0:42:01 | |
Wasn't it? It was a step too far. | 0:42:01 | 0:42:03 | |
It would have been nice to have gone through, | 0:42:04 | 0:42:07 | |
but alas 'twas not to be. | 0:42:07 | 0:42:11 | |
Well done, mate. | 0:42:15 | 0:42:17 | |
I am actually proud of myself and in shock. I've gone through. It's like unreal. | 0:42:20 | 0:42:26 | |
I want to do as well as I possibly can for Colin as well. | 0:42:27 | 0:42:31 | |
And I'd be really proud to do that. | 0:42:31 | 0:42:33 | |
I'm over the moon to go through. Hopefully, I've got loads more to give. | 0:42:33 | 0:42:38 | |
Tomorrow, the battle intensifies, | 0:42:44 | 0:42:48 | |
as these three celebrities fight to stay in the competition. | 0:42:48 | 0:42:53 | |
I've got the scallops ready. I need my tortelli, please. | 0:42:53 | 0:42:56 | |
How do I know if it's cooked? Will somebody check? | 0:42:56 | 0:42:59 | |
I'm nervous. | 0:43:00 | 0:43:02 | |
Four starters of the day! Four asparagus, my friend. | 0:43:04 | 0:43:08 | |
Two, no eggs! Quick, quick! | 0:43:08 | 0:43:10 | |
I need the octopus on the pass! | 0:43:11 | 0:43:14 | |
Danny, come here. | 0:43:15 | 0:43:16 | |
Look at this! They're dry! They're no good! | 0:43:16 | 0:43:20 | |
Come on, do it again. Quick! | 0:43:20 | 0:43:23 | |
