0:00:05 > 0:00:09'Celebrity MasterChef is down to the last five.'

0:00:11 > 0:00:14I really think I've stepped up my game, but everybody is,

0:00:14 > 0:00:16so the pressure is definitely on.

0:00:19 > 0:00:22The world "failure" isn't in my vocabulary.

0:00:22 > 0:00:26I want to beat them other guys out there, you know?

0:00:26 > 0:00:29They are good, but I want to be better.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35This bit of the competition now gets brutal.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40If they don't perform, they are out.

0:00:56 > 0:01:01I think this is probably your biggest day so far.

0:01:02 > 0:01:06We want you to present your food to restaurant critics.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11You are going to have to be at your best.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16One dish, and it's got to be amazing, cos if it's not...

0:01:17 > 0:01:20..you may leave the competition.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25One hour, ladies and gentlemen. Let's cook.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32It's a very nervous day today.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36Restaurant critics are not easy people to please.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40I tell you what - I bet they're sharpening their knives now.

0:01:48 > 0:01:52Professional chefs would be terrified of this challenge, John,

0:01:52 > 0:01:55and we've got five celebrities. Don't forget that.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11'I think I've grown a lot as a cook.'

0:02:11 > 0:02:14I'm enjoying getting just a hint of respect from them.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19I love that fish. The fish is so soft!

0:02:19 > 0:02:24The culinary term is, "Boom!" Absolutely on the money.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27- What are you making for us, Ade? - Grilled tuna

0:02:27 > 0:02:29with two types of fennel -

0:02:29 > 0:02:32a fennel that's poached in star anise and olive oil,

0:02:32 > 0:02:35served with an orange syrup reduction,

0:02:35 > 0:02:39then there's a paper-thin salad of fennel,

0:02:39 > 0:02:42which is served with segmented oranges and a dressing.

0:02:42 > 0:02:46How do you feel about serving your food up to such tough critics?

0:02:46 > 0:02:50Well, I've got no love for critics. But you suffer at their hands

0:02:50 > 0:02:53for so long in the business I'm in,

0:02:53 > 0:02:57so it's best just not to believe them if they say anything horrible

0:02:57 > 0:03:02or anything nice, and I think people who just eat tea for a living...

0:03:02 > 0:03:04- Like me. - HE LAUGHS

0:03:04 > 0:03:06Yeah, like you. I don't respect you at all, Gregg.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12I really like the sound of fennel and blood orange -

0:03:12 > 0:03:16sweet but a little bit sharp, with a lovely meaty tuna.

0:03:16 > 0:03:21But fennel cooked with star anise, it may just be an aniseed overload.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29I'm in the final five. I still have to pinch myself.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34The first couple of challenges were awful for me.

0:03:34 > 0:03:38Can you imagine that to be served to these guys? No way.

0:03:38 > 0:03:42I was clearly going home, and then I turned a corner.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Go on, son!

0:03:45 > 0:03:49I love your chutney! You continue to surprise me.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52It's amazing. I'm loving it, and I'm feeling more confident

0:03:52 > 0:03:54as the competition goes on.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00- We've turned you into a cook, Les. - You have indeed!

0:04:00 > 0:04:02- Thank you very much. - What is your dish?

0:04:02 > 0:04:06Pan-fried seared sea-bass fillet

0:04:06 > 0:04:09with brown shrimps Morecambe Bay style,

0:04:09 > 0:04:11you know, in butter and parsley,

0:04:11 > 0:04:15and a potato, tomato and basil confit.

0:04:15 > 0:04:20- Les Dennis, doing a tomato, basil and potato confit!- Yes!

0:04:21 > 0:04:24- Someone's got to go home today, Les. - I just hope it's not me.

0:04:27 > 0:04:31I love the idea of rosemary, spinach and sea bass together.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33I think it's wonderful.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36Les is actually putting together a restaurant-style dish.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38It's whether he's got the restaurant-type skill

0:04:38 > 0:04:41to pull it off.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45'This means a great deal to me.'

0:04:45 > 0:04:48The sense of achievement is enormous.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50I've come so far in such a short time.

0:04:54 > 0:04:58I am blown away by the amount of work on this plate.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01- Stunning. - You're joking me!

0:05:01 > 0:05:03But I've got so much in my head that I'm trying to think of

0:05:03 > 0:05:05that I let certain things go.

0:05:05 > 0:05:09- Anything else to go on? - No. Yes! Yes! Dressing!

0:05:09 > 0:05:14I think I'm just fairly chaotic in how I go about things.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21What creation are we going to have from Brian today?

0:05:21 > 0:05:23It's sea bass on a bed of baby leeks,

0:05:23 > 0:05:27potato fondant with chorizo crumbled on the potato,

0:05:27 > 0:05:29and the sea bass will sit on top of that.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32- And the samphire? - That will be samphire tempura,

0:05:32 > 0:05:34which will just be a garnish.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38- And is there a creamy sauce as well? - There is. Veloute.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40This dish has evolved from something else,

0:05:40 > 0:05:43which was more complicated. Now this seems simpler to me.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46You evolved this dish from a dish that was more complicated than this?

0:05:46 > 0:05:50In my head, yes, but I think I've got something wrong with my head.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57That is just way, way too much on a plate.

0:05:57 > 0:06:01He's got three and a half hours' worth of work in there

0:06:01 > 0:06:03that he's trying to squeeze into 60 minutes.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06I'm a little bit nervous for Brian.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13All the way through this whole competition,

0:06:13 > 0:06:18I've thoroughly enjoyed the whole process of just getting better.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21I think the rabbit's a bit dry, but the taste is great.

0:06:23 > 0:06:27That could be the best butternut- squash soup I've ever tasted.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29That is lovely.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32I think I have certainly transformed into a different kind of cook

0:06:32 > 0:06:34than I ever was.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40I'm keeping it quite simple, as usual.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42What I think I'm going to create

0:06:42 > 0:06:47is a black-olive rosemary-crusted lamb with sweet-potato fondant,

0:06:47 > 0:06:49and dressing of black-olive tomatoes.

0:06:49 > 0:06:53Today, do you think maybe this is a little bit...

0:06:53 > 0:06:56uncomplicated?

0:06:56 > 0:06:59No, I don't think so. I think if the food is good, the food is good.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02You can't question that.

0:07:04 > 0:07:09Shane is taking his minimalist food right up to the edge here.

0:07:09 > 0:07:13It goes without saying that lamb has got to be cooked perfectly pink,

0:07:13 > 0:07:16and that fondant has got to be perfectly soft.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21I think Shane may be the riskiest cook in the room.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27I'm very pleased I'm in the final five

0:07:27 > 0:07:30because I don't feel that I've compromised my principles.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32You've served it like a great big stew.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35You're trying to make me serve it like I'm in a restaurant,

0:07:35 > 0:07:37and I can't do that.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41Another one with a hole in it, Brian!

0:07:41 > 0:07:43Sounds like Janet's having a nice time.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45Agh!

0:07:50 > 0:07:52It's really very, very good indeed.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55I can't believe you've said that.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03- What's the dish, Janet? - It's red risotto,

0:08:03 > 0:08:06and it's escalope of pheasant breast.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09Tell me about the sage-and-apple jelly.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11I made a sage-and-apple jelly,

0:08:11 > 0:08:14and I know in your world you'd be doing a dibby-dabby sauce round it.

0:08:14 > 0:08:18Well, I'm just giving people a spoonful of my sage-and-apple jelly,

0:08:18 > 0:08:21which is how game was originally eaten, with fruit jellies.

0:08:21 > 0:08:25- Good!- No doubt you'll complain about how it looks on the plate...

0:08:25 > 0:08:28- Of course. - ..but I'm going to make an effort.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31We've got some rings and little dishes and bowls...

0:08:31 > 0:08:35- Well, I've been persuaded, you know? - Ooh!

0:08:35 > 0:08:38- BOTH: Ooh! - It's to put the risotto in.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41- I know! - What about feeding these critics?

0:08:41 > 0:08:43I've shared a flat with Tracey MacLeod,

0:08:43 > 0:08:47so if she doesn't want stories about her underwear on national TV,

0:08:47 > 0:08:50she'll be finding my dish very agreeable.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53- So she either likes your food or you spill the beans?- Yes.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56It was a bit of a bad period in my life.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00Pheasant is a tricky thing. She's being clever,

0:09:00 > 0:09:03protecting it with breadcrumbs, but if it's overcooked,

0:09:03 > 0:09:06it can still be dry and chalky.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08I think we are going to get great-tasting Janet food

0:09:08 > 0:09:11that also looks great. Hallelujah!

0:09:15 > 0:09:19- Ade, you've got just six minutes. - Yeah. On schedule.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Ade's dishes, all my yesterdays. I lived through the grilled-tuna years

0:09:26 > 0:09:29and I must admit, I got rather tired of it.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32So Ade has to do something really interesting with this

0:09:32 > 0:09:34to grab my attention.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38Five minutes, Ade, then we want that out.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41- I'm going to be a little bit early. - Right-oh.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Well done.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45That's it. Not too rare? It's up to you.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48- I like it like that. - OK.- That's how I'd have it.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50Good.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55Interesting-looking dish, Ade.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58You got three minutes, but you don't need 'em, do you?

0:09:58 > 0:10:01No. I just need half a minute, I think.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03In order to create a bit of drama, could you pretend you do?

0:10:03 > 0:10:07- You've got just three minutes, Ade! - But there's still two to do!

0:10:07 > 0:10:10- THEY LAUGH - Cheers, mate.

0:10:15 > 0:10:19You've finished with time to go. Well done. Very well done.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24I've got an open mind about it, but it's pink.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28Well, good afternoon, lady and gentlemen.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30- Hello!- How are we doing? - Very well.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33- Are you hungry? - Yeah.- At the moment.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35Thank you.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40It's obviously grilled tuna, with what I call sweet-and-sour fennel.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44- I hope! - HE LAUGHS

0:10:44 > 0:10:46- Thank you very much. - Enjoy it.

0:10:48 > 0:10:53Well, it's pink and pallid.

0:10:53 > 0:10:58I don't find pink food very appetising, really.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01It's not in my line of country.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09It's all a bit one-note.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11There's a little bit of sour, a little bit of sweet.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14It's not exactly a disaster in any way.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17It's just a bit dull.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19The fish is decent,

0:11:19 > 0:11:21and the sweet-and-sour fennel underneath it

0:11:21 > 0:11:26has got a good flavour, but then this other cold salad of fennel

0:11:26 > 0:11:30is just replicating, in a very sweet and bland way,

0:11:30 > 0:11:32the other flavours.

0:11:32 > 0:11:36There's no reason why these things have found themselves on the plate,

0:11:36 > 0:11:39and that makes it pretty unsatisfying.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45It's a little bit bizarre, but actually, I don't mind it.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48I like that soft confit fennel underneath,

0:11:48 > 0:11:50and I even like the sweet sauce that sits with it.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53HE IMITATES CROWD CHEERING

0:11:53 > 0:11:56'I don't know if that's enough.'

0:11:56 > 0:12:00I cooked that as if I was at home, and there's a mistake.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02I didn't ponce it up.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05I should've just done very neat cylinders,

0:12:05 > 0:12:07and that sort of shape. Oh!

0:12:07 > 0:12:10Ow!

0:12:10 > 0:12:12HE SIGHS

0:12:13 > 0:12:17- You've got about four minutes left. - OK. Thank you.

0:12:18 > 0:12:23It's going to come down to, can he cook the sea-bass accurately,

0:12:23 > 0:12:26and does he actually know what he's doing in making a confit?

0:12:28 > 0:12:31- Are your potatoes cooked? - Some are and some aren't.

0:12:32 > 0:12:37Les, you've only got three minutes. You ain't got time to cook an egg!

0:12:39 > 0:12:43- Think about how your plates are going to look.- And how hot they are!

0:12:44 > 0:12:47Nice on the fish, Les.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54OK. We're about to go over time, Les.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57I think I need a couple of minutes.

0:13:00 > 0:13:05Wow! Look what you've done. You don't believe it, do you?

0:13:05 > 0:13:07- I don't believe it, no. - Good on you, mate. Let's go.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13- Now, look! We'll help you, Les. - Watch this.

0:13:13 > 0:13:17- There you go. - Oh, look how enticing that looks!

0:13:17 > 0:13:19- I hope it tastes as good. - Thank you.

0:13:22 > 0:13:26- Afternoon! - Hello.- Sorry for the delay.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28It looks great.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31- CLATTERING - Oops, sorry.- That's all right.

0:13:31 > 0:13:35It's pan-fried sea bass with browned shrimps

0:13:35 > 0:13:38on a potato, basil and tomato confit,

0:13:38 > 0:13:41with rosemary-infused spinach.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43- Thank you. - Thank you.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45- SHE WHISPERS - That was Les Dennis!

0:13:45 > 0:13:49- Les Dennis has cooked my lunch! - Who's Les Dennis?

0:13:49 > 0:13:52He's very famous!

0:13:53 > 0:13:57He warmed the plates! It's such a small thing,

0:13:57 > 0:13:59but this means that this plate of food is not cold.

0:13:59 > 0:14:03- I have to say, it also smells rather good.- Yeah. It does.

0:14:08 > 0:14:12I'm impressed by this. It's a really well balanced plateful.

0:14:12 > 0:14:15The very slight rosemary note you get with that spinach,

0:14:15 > 0:14:19which just, you know, adds a little something of his own to it.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22The cooking of the fish really is bang-on.

0:14:22 > 0:14:26The thing that makes it work is the potted shrimps.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29I would like more spinach, potatoes a little more cooked,

0:14:29 > 0:14:34- and then it would be straight As. - Les Dennis knows what he's doing!

0:14:34 > 0:14:38I think the flavours are great. I think the seasoning's brilliant.

0:14:38 > 0:14:42- I love his presentation. I think he's got all that right.- Good dish.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46Whoa!

0:14:46 > 0:14:48HE LAUGHS

0:14:49 > 0:14:51I am so relieved!

0:14:51 > 0:14:55'I'm loving it, and I would love to go all the way.'

0:14:55 > 0:14:57Wow! How amazing would that be?

0:14:59 > 0:15:03- 15 minutes left until your fish are ready?- Yes.

0:15:06 > 0:15:10Brian's menu is the only menu description I've seen

0:15:10 > 0:15:14that actually needs punctuating to make sense of it. It is so long.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16Oh, my hands!

0:15:16 > 0:15:20It's a very complex set of circumstances,

0:15:20 > 0:15:23and if he does it right, it will be very delicious,

0:15:23 > 0:15:27and if he slips up on any one of these many elements,

0:15:27 > 0:15:30it will be horrid.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33Brian, four minutes left, mate.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35Oh, OK.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41- BRIAN CHUCKLES - Oh!

0:15:41 > 0:15:44All right. You got to get moving. Let's go.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47How many more bits have you got to put on?

0:15:47 > 0:15:49- Oh, just a... Well... - About seven?

0:15:49 > 0:15:51Yes.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57You're not going to try and balance that... Oh!

0:15:59 > 0:16:01Beautiful-looking dish, mate.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Is that it? - Yes.- Go get 'em, son.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07Right.

0:16:07 > 0:16:11Oh, look, I admire the skill and the art form, but, wow!

0:16:21 > 0:16:23Thank you.

0:16:23 > 0:16:27This is, um, pan-fried sea bass on a bed of baby leeks,

0:16:27 > 0:16:32fondant potato with crumbled chorizo,

0:16:32 > 0:16:35- with a samphire tempura batter. - Thank you.- Thank you.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Thank you.

0:16:38 > 0:16:43There's a lot going on here, and I hope that it's delicious,

0:16:43 > 0:16:46because that amount of work deserves to be rewarded.

0:16:51 > 0:16:56The tempura... He's managed to get a really good, crisp batter.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00His veloute is just in the right quantity with the rest of the dish.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03It's all really very well balanced.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06I think this is just a couple of notches down from brilliant.

0:17:06 > 0:17:10The fish is slightly overcooked. The sauce is slightly under-seasoned.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13But there's some really good ideas in here.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16I like the potato and I like the tempura,

0:17:16 > 0:17:19but whether it's the kind of plate of food

0:17:19 > 0:17:22someone sends out feed you, I don't know.

0:17:22 > 0:17:27I mean, it's a bit more artistic than, perhaps, it should be.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31There are some really nice flavours on there.

0:17:31 > 0:17:35The fish is really delicate. I like the smoky sweetness

0:17:35 > 0:17:38of the chorizo, and the butteriness of the potato.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41He's pushing the boundaries, and good on him for taking the risk.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think

0:17:50 > 0:17:52I'd be cooking for anybody like them,

0:17:52 > 0:17:55or make the progress that I have so far.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59It's just been absolutely extraordinary. It's really weird.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04- You've got five minutes. Are we going to get it up?- We're good.

0:18:05 > 0:18:09Olive-and-rosemary-crusted rack of lamb. Sounds terrific.

0:18:10 > 0:18:14Sweet-potato fondant... What an abomination.

0:18:14 > 0:18:17What's wrong with a potato fondant?

0:18:20 > 0:18:23- Bring the pot a bit closer. - I'll do them one at a time

0:18:23 > 0:18:26so I don't panic myself. It's a good idea, John.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28I'm on a roll here, you see.

0:18:30 > 0:18:3260 seconds left.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37Don't bother. Going to get yourself in all sorts of trouble.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Have you got a bit of dressing to go on there?- Yeah.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47- Anything else to go on them? - No. That's the lot.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50- OK, good. - Right, let's go.

0:18:55 > 0:18:58- It's an odd little dish, John! - Odd! Yes!

0:19:03 > 0:19:06How you doing?

0:19:06 > 0:19:09- Right. Ladies first. - Oh, lovely. Thank you.- Indeed.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14We have a black-olive-and-rosemary crusted lamb

0:19:14 > 0:19:16with some fondant potato,

0:19:16 > 0:19:19and the dressing is black olive with tomato.

0:19:19 > 0:19:22- Enjoy. - Thanks.- Thank you.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26Look, I don't want to be too vulgar,

0:19:26 > 0:19:29but that crust does look like the animal's been served

0:19:29 > 0:19:33with the bit out the other end. It's not pretty. It's not pretty.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42The lamb is, frankly, undercooked. When you feel your knife pulling

0:19:42 > 0:19:45against the connective tissue, something's up.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48The one thing I like is the tomato black-olive dressing.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51Other than that, this is the silence of the lambs.

0:19:51 > 0:19:56Newsflash - there ain't no point in making sweet-potato fondant.

0:19:56 > 0:20:00It's a nasty, sludgy sort of thing.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03It's a shame that he didn't manage to quite cook the lamb enough,

0:20:03 > 0:20:06because it was a lovely piece of lamb, well seasoned,

0:20:06 > 0:20:08and it seemed like he'd managed to rest it.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10You're being too nice. You're looking for something

0:20:10 > 0:20:15to be nice about, because you have very fond memories of Boyzone.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17- He's part of a popular-music combo, is he?- Yeah.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19Ah!

0:20:23 > 0:20:25Really quite horrible.

0:20:25 > 0:20:29Barely cooked lamb with sweet potato.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31That is quite awful. You've had one mouthful.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34You don't have to. That's horrible.

0:20:34 > 0:20:38This, though, is the first time we've seen Shane have a disaster.

0:20:42 > 0:20:44HE LAUGHS

0:20:44 > 0:20:46'I'm really in the dark

0:20:46 > 0:20:50'with whether that dish was enough to get me through.'

0:20:50 > 0:20:52I don't know if the presentation was good enough.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54I don't know if the lamb's done.

0:20:54 > 0:20:57I don't know if this is not enough on the plate.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59Um...

0:20:59 > 0:21:02Honestly, I'm... Shutdown.

0:21:04 > 0:21:08- You got three minutes to put that food in front of those critics.- OK.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12I'll do my wiping in a minute.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15Janet and wiping in the same sentence!

0:21:15 > 0:21:17I know. It's a world first.

0:21:17 > 0:21:19Escalope of pheasant breast...

0:21:19 > 0:21:23We have no idea what it's going to be like at all. There's not a clue.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25Vegetables? Who knows?

0:21:25 > 0:21:27Sauce? Who knows?

0:21:27 > 0:21:30Can I just say, it looks rustic.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34- Because it is what it is. - Absolutely. So are you.

0:21:35 > 0:21:40Never underestimate Janet Street-Porter. I bet it'll be great.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46Right. Time's up. Looking good.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48- Right. Rings off. - Rings off.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51- Look at that! - Nearly all right.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53- What about these? - Leave 'em. No!

0:21:53 > 0:21:56- I couldn't do anything about it! - You'll smudge it. Leave 'em!

0:21:56 > 0:21:58Hurray!

0:21:58 > 0:22:00- Beautiful. Beautiful. - It is a lovely colour.

0:22:00 > 0:22:04- Same colour as your hair, that is. - Yeah.- Come on!

0:22:04 > 0:22:06- OK. - Thanks, Janet.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12- I like that. - Yeah, it's great.- Really like that.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19SHE LAUGHS

0:22:21 > 0:22:24- Lovely to see you, too. - Lovely to see you.

0:22:24 > 0:22:27- Who wants it first? - Girls first.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29Thanks, Janet.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31I've made escalope of pheasant breast,

0:22:31 > 0:22:34and beetroot spelt risotto

0:22:34 > 0:22:37with red chard for the stir-fried veg.

0:22:37 > 0:22:43- And the jelly?- That's apple- and-chilli jelly that I made myself.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45Thank you very much.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48Enjoy it!

0:22:49 > 0:22:53It's got a certain rustic charm, hasn't it?

0:22:53 > 0:22:56A simple presentation, and none the worse for that.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04I think the pheasant is just very, very dry.

0:23:04 > 0:23:08If you put it together with the jelly, it's quite pleasant.

0:23:08 > 0:23:11I like the jelly. The rest of it is "meh".

0:23:11 > 0:23:13Maybe I've been luckier than you with my escalope.

0:23:13 > 0:23:18Mine is really moist. She's got garlic flavours in there.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21She's got some nuts in there as well, and herbs.

0:23:21 > 0:23:25I'm very, very happy, particularly with my jelly and my escalope.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28I think that's as good as anything we've had today.

0:23:28 > 0:23:30This is Stockholm Syndrome, isn't it?

0:23:30 > 0:23:32You worked for her and you lived with her,

0:23:32 > 0:23:35and you're like Patty Hearst locked in the cupboard

0:23:35 > 0:23:37with the Symbionese Liberation Army,

0:23:37 > 0:23:39and you've given yourself over to Janet.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42I could take my revenge on her after years of abuse,

0:23:42 > 0:23:45but I'm not going to. This is good.

0:23:47 > 0:23:49I love the nutty crust on that pheasant.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52Really good, moist meat.

0:23:52 > 0:23:54But I especially love the bitterness

0:23:54 > 0:23:57that's coming from the radicchio-and-chard combination.

0:23:57 > 0:24:00I tell you what - that is a good, good dish.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07I think it went all right. I don't know.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10It looked nice.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13This is something I love eating, so it was good.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18I think today was a little bit nuts.

0:24:18 > 0:24:21MasterChefs have all gone a little bit stir crazy.

0:24:21 > 0:24:25- A bit outrageous, you mean? - Well, we just had some crazy food.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28Not just some crazy food. We had loads of crazy food.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30What's happened to them since we last saw them?

0:24:30 > 0:24:34Right before our eyes, Les Dennis is becoming a good cook.

0:24:34 > 0:24:37We saw a quietly confident Les Dennis walk in this kitchen today,

0:24:37 > 0:24:41somebody that really did believe in their dish,

0:24:41 > 0:24:43and it was good.

0:24:43 > 0:24:47We're both very surprised by the amount of work that Brian did.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49I'm not a great fan of food like that,

0:24:49 > 0:24:52but I've got to admire Brian's ambition.

0:24:52 > 0:24:55I've got to admire the fact that he puts all that on a plate,

0:24:55 > 0:24:57and everything is cooked very, very well.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00I've always admired Janet's cooking. I admire the fact

0:25:00 > 0:25:02that she's having a go at presentation,

0:25:02 > 0:25:05and I think today she actually pulled it off.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08Good, big, hearty dish. I liked it a lot.

0:25:08 > 0:25:12There are two cooks today who I believe are in the running

0:25:12 > 0:25:14to be knocked out of the competition -

0:25:14 > 0:25:18Ade and his tuna and fennel overload,

0:25:18 > 0:25:21and Shane and his death-by-lamb.

0:25:23 > 0:25:27'I want to stay in, because the final is just there.'

0:25:28 > 0:25:31And...what's the point in going out now?

0:25:31 > 0:25:35It'd be a bit saddening, really.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38From the bottom of my heart, I guess I'd like to stay.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42'I'd really like to go through. I would.

0:25:42 > 0:25:44'I'd really like to go through.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47'But after that challenge,

0:25:47 > 0:25:51'I think my chances of staying on are about 50/50.'

0:25:53 > 0:25:55But there you go.

0:25:55 > 0:25:59- Who's it going to be? - Boyzone or Bottom.

0:26:16 > 0:26:19Today was fretful,

0:26:19 > 0:26:21and we had plenty of ups and downs.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26And we've now made a decision.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32The person leaving the competition is...

0:26:37 > 0:26:39..Shane.

0:26:39 > 0:26:41SONG: "No Matter What" by Boyzone

0:26:41 > 0:26:44# No matter what they tell us

0:26:44 > 0:26:47# No matter what they do

0:26:49 > 0:26:52# No matter what they teach us...

0:26:52 > 0:26:54You keep cooking, huh?

0:26:54 > 0:26:59# What we believe is true...

0:27:01 > 0:27:05I'm a little bit sad to see the back of Celebrity MasterChef,

0:27:05 > 0:27:09because I had an amazing time. I've really loved it.

0:27:09 > 0:27:12'I've learned so much.

0:27:15 > 0:27:18'I've come on quite a fantastic journey.'

0:27:19 > 0:27:22'So, yeah, a little bit gutted to go.'

0:27:23 > 0:27:26But every day and every struggle that we went through

0:27:26 > 0:27:28has most definitely been worth it.

0:27:32 > 0:27:34# No, no matter what

0:27:34 > 0:27:36# No, no matter what

0:27:36 > 0:27:40# That's all that matters to me #

0:27:40 > 0:27:43THEY CHATTER AND LAUGH

0:27:44 > 0:27:47I don't really know how I did it,

0:27:47 > 0:27:51or whether I'm worthy of it or not, but I'm here.

0:27:55 > 0:27:59- BRIAN:- 'At the beginning, I had no idea I'd get this far.'

0:27:59 > 0:28:02It's fantastic, absolutely fantastic. I'm so chuffed.

0:28:02 > 0:28:06- Thank you! - Thank you so much.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08- Cheers.- Well done. - Here's to you.

0:28:10 > 0:28:12Well done, guys. Final four!

0:28:12 > 0:28:15Cheers! Well...

0:28:17 > 0:28:22'Next week it's the finals, and the pressure reaches its peak.'

0:28:23 > 0:28:27- Oh, I hate this. - Agh! I've lost it.

0:28:27 > 0:28:29- Oh! - No!

0:28:29 > 0:28:31No, no!

0:28:33 > 0:28:37- John, that's a disaster. - The dish was phenomenal.
