It is the final of Celebrity MasterChef.

0:00:020:00:05

Over the last six weeks we've had 20 celebrities battling for this crown.

0:00:050:00:09

-Ah!

-Just panic!

0:00:090:00:11

Oh!

0:00:110:00:12

I can't see! Take my glasses off!

0:00:150:00:18

That's like a radioactive swamp.

0:00:180:00:21

I need a Valium.

0:00:210:00:24

We've had some laughs...

0:00:240:00:25

We've had some tears...

0:00:290:00:30

Sorry. Oh, dear.

0:00:300:00:32

I feel like my mum would be really proud.

0:00:320:00:34

We've also had a little bit of singing and dancing.

0:00:340:00:37

# Taco, fajita, burrito!

0:00:370:00:39

# Burrito, taco, fajita. #

0:00:390:00:41

# Stop! Wait a minute, Mr Postman... #

0:00:410:00:44

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:440:00:46

Now we're down to our final three - Sophie, Jodie and Charley -

0:00:480:00:54

exceptional cooks.

0:00:540:00:56

It's a massive, massive challenge to get to this stage.

0:00:560:01:00

I feel pretty proud of myself.

0:01:000:01:03

The whole experience has been like a proper adventure.

0:01:030:01:07

Winning would definitely be the icing on the cake.

0:01:100:01:12

I think it would feel lovely.

0:01:120:01:15

Um...

0:01:150:01:17

Oh! Yeah.

0:01:170:01:19

It's extraordinary to have got this far. I just can't believe it.

0:01:200:01:25

I'm in some way really, really sad that it's all going to end.

0:01:250:01:28

Tonight, the finalists must undertake two massive challenges...

0:01:300:01:34

..cooking for the heavyweights of Italian cuisine, before heading

0:01:350:01:40

back to the MasterChef kitchen to cook their final three courses.

0:01:400:01:44

At the end, one of them will be

0:01:480:01:51

crowned Celebrity MasterChef Champion 2014.

0:01:510:01:54

I was brought up actually not very far away from here,

0:02:080:02:11

a place called Cranleigh.

0:02:110:02:13

I got spotted when I was...

0:02:130:02:15

I was actually younger than 15, I was about 14.

0:02:150:02:19

I was extremely a tomboy.

0:02:190:02:22

I was showjumping at the time and riding my ponies.

0:02:220:02:27

So I said, right, I'm going to give modelling a go.

0:02:270:02:30

My inspiration to model for six months would be

0:02:300:02:33

so I could buy a horse lorry.

0:02:330:02:35

And that was it.

0:02:350:02:38

It just went crazy and so I just went with it.

0:02:410:02:45

It was quite a whirlwind.

0:02:450:02:47

Indi's two-and-a-half now. And it's just the most incredible experience.

0:02:580:03:03

He's so brilliant. I'm sure that every mother says that.

0:03:030:03:07

That was when my real love for food kicked in.

0:03:090:03:14

Walk on.

0:03:140:03:16

MasterChef has just completely thrown me

0:03:180:03:22

into the most amazing world of culinary treats.

0:03:220:03:27

And how awesome food can be.

0:03:290:03:32

It's just so interesting and it's been so exciting, but yet...scary.

0:03:320:03:37

I came into the competition being super eager.

0:03:400:03:44

I wanted to learn everything.

0:03:440:03:46

And it's gone so unbelievably kind of crazy.

0:03:480:03:53

I didn't know I would ever end up in the last three.

0:03:530:03:56

Poor David, I think, is completely and utterly sick of it.

0:03:590:04:03

I feel like I've been through, and I have,

0:04:030:04:06

every single step with her.

0:04:060:04:08

It's been an absolute challenge at times, because for the last

0:04:080:04:12

few months, everything, it seems, that we talk about

0:04:120:04:15

is to do with food.

0:04:150:04:17

And it is stressful, actually.

0:04:170:04:20

Bunty! Bunty!

0:04:210:04:24

I've made it to the final. What an achievement.

0:04:240:04:27

But if I nail it... I'm going to give them all a run for their money.

0:04:270:04:31

Jodie is someone that I would not really want to compete against.

0:04:320:04:36

She's very capable, very dynamic.

0:04:360:04:39

Good luck to the others, because they're going to need it.

0:04:390:04:43

Now I've got this far, I'm going to do everything in my power to win it.

0:04:430:04:49

I had a bizarre upbringing.

0:04:560:04:58

We kind of lived in Ireland but then my father, who is a film director...

0:04:580:05:02

we used to travel all over the world with him.

0:05:020:05:04

He was just Dad and we happened to grow up on film sets.

0:05:040:05:08

It was all quite normal.

0:05:080:05:09

As kids, we were all thrown into his movies cos

0:05:090:05:13

he was a cheap film director.

0:05:130:05:15

I think the first film I was ever in was Deliverance.

0:05:150:05:18

I wasn't the banjo-player, just so you know! Or that guy in the forest.

0:05:180:05:23

I had a little part at the end of the movie where my dad said to me,

0:05:250:05:28

"Look, Charley, if you sit on that sofa with that bloke

0:05:280:05:31

"I'll give you a tricycle."

0:05:310:05:33

Maybe that little tricycle was the birth of my love of two wheels.

0:05:370:05:41

INDISTINCT CHATTER

0:05:490:05:51

Oli and the kids have always been supportive.

0:05:540:05:57

We've been together for 27 years now.

0:05:570:06:00

Everything I've ever done,

0:06:000:06:03

from whatever it is, she's always supported me 100%.

0:06:030:06:08

"Just go and do what you do." And, you know, what makes me happy.

0:06:080:06:13

She's quite remarkable, my wife.

0:06:130:06:16

Being on MasterChef has certainly pushed him.

0:06:190:06:22

But he likes being pushed.

0:06:220:06:24

I think the competition has been quite stressful.

0:06:260:06:29

Much more stressful than I thought it would be. It's more all-consuming.

0:06:290:06:33

I haven't been out for weeks.

0:06:330:06:36

We've gone through all the stresses and he comes back exhausted.

0:06:360:06:40

Charley, you all right, mate?

0:06:400:06:41

He's not sleeping particularly well.

0:06:430:06:45

He's up at the crack of dawn, cooking.

0:06:450:06:47

I come down to a complete bombshell in the kitchen.

0:06:470:06:51

So, I haven't experienced that side of him.

0:06:510:06:54

Before he went on MasterChef, I guess he was a good cook.

0:06:540:06:58

But now he seems to get his timings a lot better.

0:06:580:07:01

'Much more organised.'

0:07:010:07:03

The food actually looks nice now when he puts it on the plate,

0:07:030:07:07

so that's an improvement.

0:07:070:07:09

We are all immensely proud of him.

0:07:100:07:13

I thought he was a pretty competent cook but he's really excelled now.

0:07:130:07:18

It's what happens on the day.

0:07:190:07:21

Anything can go right and anything can go wrong for anybody.

0:07:210:07:26

Fingers crossed it goes wrong for them.

0:07:260:07:28

I'm a Londoner born and bred but I also grew up in Scotland

0:07:380:07:42

because my mum's Scottish, so we had the best of both worlds.

0:07:420:07:46

Both my parents were actors. My mum still is.

0:07:460:07:50

My dad died.

0:07:510:07:54

He did that quite young, which was so annoying.

0:07:540:07:57

I think I did always want to be an actor,

0:07:570:08:01

although I pretended I wanted to be something else.

0:08:010:08:03

In fact, I still have a problem with it when people say, "What do you do?"

0:08:030:08:07

Ah... And I go...

0:08:070:08:09

SHE MUMBLES "I'm an actor."

0:08:090:08:11

My love of food, it does come from the brilliant women in my family.

0:08:130:08:19

My two grans and my mum, really.

0:08:190:08:21

Since I've been doing MasterChef,

0:08:210:08:25

Richard and the boys have been brilliant

0:08:250:08:29

because I've been in the kitchen like a loon.

0:08:290:08:33

And when I've got a bit tense-tastic,

0:08:330:08:36

they've been very good at diffusing it

0:08:360:08:39

because, you know, it actually - surprisingly -

0:08:390:08:42

gets you a bit wound up.

0:08:420:08:43

The first few weeks, when I was trying her food,

0:08:430:08:46

it was getting quite...

0:08:460:08:48

The taste of her food was really good. And I was like, "Mmm.

0:08:480:08:52

"Mum, you're doing quite well."

0:08:520:08:54

I thought she had a chance, and then that chance grew and grew

0:08:560:09:00

when I tried her food because it was actually really nice.

0:09:000:09:04

I wouldn't describe Sophie as competitive,

0:09:050:09:08

but I've seen Soph become ruthlessly competitive through

0:09:080:09:11

the MasterChef experience.

0:09:110:09:13

It's been really enjoyable seeing how she's blossomed.

0:09:130:09:17

Boys, it's ready!

0:09:200:09:22

I was lighting the fire last night and Walt, who's my youngest,

0:09:220:09:26

turned to me and said, "I'm very proud of you, Mum."

0:09:260:09:30

And it was like, "Oh, gosh, um..."

0:09:310:09:33

He said, "You've done very well."

0:09:350:09:37

And I thought, "Oh, my golly." And I went, "Thanks, Walt."

0:09:370:09:40

I can't think about winning because then my cooking won't be right.

0:09:430:09:47

I've just got to think about the cooking.

0:09:470:09:50

Yeah, think about the cooking. And really enjoy it. The last thing.

0:09:510:09:57

The last meal.

0:09:580:10:00

It's two days before the final cook-off.

0:10:090:10:13

But first, Jodie, Sophie and Charley

0:10:130:10:16

must face their greatest challenge yet...

0:10:160:10:19

..the chefs' table.

0:10:210:10:23

They'll be cooking for the most influential Italian chefs

0:10:240:10:27

and restaurateurs in the country.

0:10:270:10:30

Antonio Carluccio's influence on Italian food

0:10:310:10:36

in Great Britain has few rivals.

0:10:360:10:38

Michelin-starred Giorgio Locatelli is considered one of

0:10:410:10:44

the world's greatest chefs.

0:10:440:10:46

Theo Randall's Italian restaurant has been named Britain's finest.

0:10:480:10:53

Restaurateur Aldo Zilli has championed Italian cooking

0:10:550:10:59

in Britain for over 35 years.

0:10:590:11:02

This is the start of a big, big day for our three celebs.

0:11:030:11:07

The chef here - Francesco Mazzei -

0:11:090:11:12

is one of the best exponents of Italian food I know.

0:11:120:11:15

-Hello.

-Hello.

-Hi, guys. Morning.

0:11:180:11:21

I've got four of the most influential Italian chefs

0:11:210:11:23

coming for lunch.

0:11:230:11:25

Locatelli, Aldo Zilli, Carluccio and Theo Randall. OK?

0:11:250:11:30

They are also very good friends,

0:11:300:11:32

so we don't want them to go out and say the food at L'Anima wasn't good.

0:11:320:11:35

-ALL: Yes.

-OK? So now we've got lots to do. Let's go.

0:11:350:11:39

When he told us who was coming today, I just wanted to leave.

0:11:450:11:49

I wanted to go home.

0:11:490:11:50

The clientele that are coming today are frighteningly exciting

0:11:520:11:56

to cook for.

0:11:560:11:58

I'm...quite nervous.

0:11:590:12:02

At the moment, I feel like I'm at the bottom of a really huge mountain.

0:12:040:12:10

Ha! Oh...

0:12:120:12:14

Some of the best Italian chefs in history. Ho-ho!

0:12:170:12:21

I couldn't believe it. I almost fainted. Carluccio? I mean...

0:12:220:12:27

It's terrifying but I'm really looking forward to it.

0:12:270:12:31

It's going to be cool.

0:12:310:12:34

The celebrities now have four hours to learn,

0:12:340:12:37

prepare and cook one of chef Francesco's dishes.

0:12:370:12:40

Sophie is in charge of the starter.

0:12:400:12:43

-Sophie, are you all right?

-Yes.

-Are you ready?

-Yes, I am...Chef.

0:12:430:12:47

-Good. "Yes, Chef."

-Yes, Chef.

-Actually, let's say, "Si, Chef."

0:12:470:12:50

-Let's do the Italian.

-Si!

0:12:500:12:52

You've got a very interesting dish. It's one of my mum's recipes.

0:12:520:12:56

Do you know how much I care about this dish? A lot.

0:12:560:12:59

It is called pastachina.

0:12:590:13:01

"Pastachina" means stuffed pasta, like a lasagne.

0:13:010:13:05

Look what I've got here.

0:13:050:13:07

-Oh, wow!

-Bellissima! OK?

0:13:070:13:10

It's exquisite!

0:13:100:13:11

We've got the meatball, the spinach, the fried aubergine,

0:13:110:13:14

the quail eggs, the peas, two different pastas.

0:13:140:13:17

It's going to cook three times. OK?

0:13:170:13:19

-Let me show you how we plate this dish now.

-OK.

0:13:190:13:22

Have you ever seen lasagne grilled on la plancha?

0:13:230:13:26

-No.

-First time. Pastachina a la plancha. First time ever.

0:13:260:13:29

Just give it a slightly brown colour. Right.

0:13:290:13:33

-Room temperature not hot, yeah? Easy? Clear?

-Yes.

0:13:350:13:38

Let's go through the back now.

0:13:380:13:39

Tomato fondue.

0:13:390:13:42

-I don't want you to be too precise, OK?

-OK.

0:13:420:13:45

The grana Padano mousse.

0:13:450:13:46

The last one - pesto sauce.

0:13:480:13:50

-Huh?

-Beautiful.

-OK?

-Yeah.

-As simple as that.

0:13:520:13:56

Now we get the pastachina.

0:13:560:13:59

Beautiful.

0:13:590:14:00

I want this to look very colourful. And also very Italian. OK?

0:14:000:14:05

Yeah.

0:14:050:14:07

-Sophie?

-Yes?

-This is lasagne pastachina like Mamma would do.

0:14:100:14:16

I just want to look at it for a bit longer.

0:14:190:14:22

I feel like I'm eating a Paul Klee painting.

0:14:220:14:25

SHE LAUGHS

0:14:290:14:31

SHE SIGHS HAPPILY

0:14:310:14:33

It's so beautiful, isn't it? And it's his mum's dish.

0:14:350:14:38

So pressure at all(!)

0:14:380:14:41

There are so many components in that dish.

0:14:410:14:44

I can't imagine being able to recreate that.

0:14:440:14:49

Charley, you are in charge of the rabbit Siciliana.

0:14:510:14:54

It's a pretty difficult dish. There is a lot to do here, OK?

0:14:540:14:56

This rabbit has to cook for about three hours.

0:14:560:14:59

In the meantime, we have to do other stuff. Are you ready for that?

0:14:590:15:02

-Yep.

-Then let me show you what I did for you.

-OK.

0:15:020:15:04

-So this is the end result?

-Exactly. This is the saddle.

0:15:040:15:07

-Mine should look like that?

-Exactly.

0:15:070:15:10

What we are going to do now is this. Look.

0:15:120:15:15

Just to give that nutty flavour.

0:15:170:15:20

-Yep.

-When we've done this, straight into there.

-OK.

-OK.

0:15:200:15:24

Now, I've got this beautiful veg for you here. Have a look.

0:15:260:15:30

I like my veg to be nice and crunchy.

0:15:300:15:32

Look how beautiful they are. You're going to pan-fry this one.

0:15:330:15:37

Courgette flowers stuffed with broad beans, peas, grana Padano and mint.

0:15:370:15:41

Wow.

0:15:410:15:42

Now, look at that. Potato mash.

0:15:420:15:46

This is a bit of a tricky one.

0:15:460:15:48

Put that here. A little piece of that here.

0:15:500:15:52

-OK. I want to see like a spring garden, OK?

-Yeah.

0:15:530:15:58

OK.

0:16:030:16:05

And this beautiful jus with some sultanas.

0:16:100:16:13

-All right. Are you happy with this so far?

-Yes, absolutely.

0:16:150:16:19

Then I've got pine nuts and a few pistachios,

0:16:200:16:24

a good Sicilian tradition.

0:16:240:16:27

-Yeah, there's a lot to do.

-Yeah, yeah.

-Yeah?

0:16:280:16:31

Oh, God.

0:16:310:16:33

Charley, what you've got here is the rabbit Siciliana

0:16:330:16:37

that we serve at L'Anima.

0:16:370:16:39

You've got to do exactly the same, if not better than that. OK?

0:16:440:16:47

If I can get close, I'll be happy.

0:16:470:16:49

I'm sure you'll do a fantastic dish. That's for sure.

0:16:490:16:52

Wow.

0:16:560:16:58

-I mean, it's really complex.

-It's not.

0:16:580:17:00

You just need a lot of time to do it.

0:17:000:17:03

HE LAUGHS

0:17:030:17:04

The leg, you know, when you cook it in the oil, it just keeps it moist.

0:17:040:17:09

Cos rabbit can go so dry, can't it? That's the danger.

0:17:090:17:12

-You know already, you see? Are you happy?

-Mm-hm.

-Good.

0:17:120:17:15

Yeah. I think so.

0:17:150:17:17

-Perfect.

-I'm just trying to be positive, that's all.

0:17:170:17:19

THEY BOTH LAUGH

0:17:190:17:21

I'm sure you'll get there.

0:17:210:17:23

It's so complicated.

0:17:230:17:25

And I've got to make all those elements to go on that plate in...

0:17:250:17:29

I've got just under three hours.

0:17:290:17:32

I'm feeling kind of nervous now. I was excited earlier,

0:17:320:17:35

now I'm just thinking you've got to be Superman to do this.

0:17:350:17:38

-Jodie.

-Yeah.

-You are going to do dessert today. OK.

0:17:400:17:44

This one is called gianduiotto.

0:17:440:17:47

It's one of the best desserts we ever did at L'Anima.

0:17:470:17:49

-OK?

-OK.

-First thing...

0:17:490:17:51

Like this. Not too precise. OK?

0:17:510:17:54

-Yep.

-Then you've got gianduiotto here in the middle.

0:17:540:17:58

What is the base of the gianduiotto?

0:17:580:18:00

-It's a biscotto. You have to do it.

-A biscotto.

0:18:000:18:03

It's a bit of shortcrust pastry with some hazelnut inside as well.

0:18:030:18:07

-OK.

-We've got some chocolate dome here.

0:18:070:18:10

You have to do this by yourself, one by one. I will show you later.

0:18:100:18:13

-Hopefully it comes out.

-It's a bit difficult.

0:18:130:18:16

-This is very thin.

-Very, very thin and very, very fragile.

-Wow.

-OK?

0:18:160:18:20

Take the ice cream out.

0:18:250:18:27

You put on top here...

0:18:270:18:29

Then chocolate...

0:18:310:18:32

-On the top.

-..dome on top.

0:18:320:18:34

-The some more gianduja on top.

-OK.

0:18:360:18:39

Then you've got these beautiful hazelnuts in sugar

0:18:390:18:43

that you're going to do. It's not difficult, don't get scared.

0:18:430:18:46

We're just going to put this one on top. OK?

0:18:460:18:50

It's like a work of art.

0:18:500:18:52

I didn't finish yet.

0:18:550:18:57

At the end...

0:18:570:18:59

there's a beautiful caramel that you do...

0:18:590:19:01

You've got to put...

0:19:010:19:03

Whoa!

0:19:060:19:07

-Was that supposed to happen?

-Yes. That's what's going to happen.

0:19:090:19:13

Now please taste that one.

0:19:130:19:16

That's seriously, seriously good.

0:19:200:19:23

There's a lot of very, very intricate techniques

0:19:250:19:29

that I'm going to have to nail.

0:19:290:19:31

But I'm really excited. Really looking forward to it.

0:19:310:19:35

I'm feeling good. I think I'm brave, let's put it that way.

0:19:410:19:45

But Italians, we like that. We like to complicate our life.

0:19:450:19:48

If not, there's no fun.

0:19:480:19:50

They will be treated the way they should, like all my chefs.

0:19:500:19:55

If they're good, bravo. If they're no good,

0:19:550:19:58

they're going to have some trouble. Simple as that.

0:19:580:20:01

The first course is the most complex of the three dishes.

0:20:050:20:09

Within the pastachina there is an egg pasta,

0:20:100:20:13

an egg-and-nettle pasta,

0:20:130:20:15

meat strips, quail's eggs, peas,

0:20:150:20:19

fried aubergine, and spinach and ricotta.

0:20:190:20:22

Sophie must also make three different sauces to serve alongside.

0:20:220:20:26

She must have everything assembled 90 minutes before service

0:20:280:20:32

as the dish has to be given time to bake in the oven

0:20:320:20:35

and cool down before being served.

0:20:350:20:37

There is a lot of pressure on the pastachina.

0:20:400:20:43

It's one of those dishes that when you see the pictures, "Oh,

0:20:430:20:46

"I can do that, anybody can do that."

0:20:460:20:47

But this recipe is very, very complex.

0:20:470:20:50

We are talking about 50, 60 ingredients.

0:20:500:20:53

So there's a lot to be done.

0:20:530:20:54

And everything has got to be done from scratch.

0:20:540:20:58

The start is the first thing,

0:20:580:20:59

and it has to be spot-on.

0:20:590:21:02

One of the dish's vital elements is the tomato fondue sauce

0:21:020:21:06

that needs to be given time to cook down to a velvet emulsion.

0:21:060:21:10

That's looking nice, isn't it?

0:21:100:21:12

What's up, Sophie? Oh!

0:21:130:21:15

-I just brought this out.

-Not ready yet.

-No.

-No, no, no.

0:21:150:21:18

-Put it back in. Give it at least one hour. Come on.

-At least one hour?

0:21:180:21:21

Yep. You don't have much left, yeah? OK.

0:21:210:21:24

You don't want much left? Oops!

0:21:240:21:26

-Don't worry, I'll do it for you.

-Thank you. Thank you, Chef.

0:21:260:21:29

Sophie, in the kitchen, you have to be quick.

0:21:310:21:34

-Yeah.

-But panic doesn't help.

-No.

-You're good, you're doing very well.

0:21:340:21:38

-Bam! Come on, please. Go.

-Yeah. OK.

0:21:380:21:41

I'm trying to keep steady and Francesco just said, you know,

0:21:420:21:46

we don't panic. That's such a good note for me on every level.

0:21:460:21:50

Just do it, don't panic.

0:21:500:21:53

I'm most worried about getting it all done and up to scratch.

0:21:540:21:58

Charley's first task is to cut the rabbit into 14 pieces,

0:22:010:22:07

before deboning the saddle, leaving one whole flat piece of meat.

0:22:070:22:11

-You did this?

-Yeah, I did that one.

0:22:130:22:15

-Well done.

-Well, it's a little messy.

-Good. See, you can do that.

0:22:150:22:19

-Well done so far. Keep going. Keep going.

-Thank you, Chef.

0:22:190:22:22

The rabbit pieces are covered in oil

0:22:220:22:25

and then slow-cooked in the oven for several hours.

0:22:250:22:29

The crucial stage is for Charley to cook the meat properly.

0:22:290:22:33

Overcooked, we don't like that. It has to be spot-on.

0:22:330:22:36

The saddle is then stuffed with offal, pancetta, garlic

0:22:370:22:41

and rosemary before being tightly rolled into a ballotine.

0:22:410:22:45

-Like this.

-OK. Just keep it tight in to make it tight.

0:22:470:22:51

I just gave each one of them one of my sous chefs

0:22:530:22:55

just to support them, you know? To give some advice.

0:22:550:22:58

I think it's nice. What do you think?

0:22:580:23:01

Just because I'm slightly concerned as well. So we'll see.

0:23:010:23:04

Very good.

0:23:040:23:05

Jodie's first task is one of her most difficult -

0:23:050:23:09

creating the chocolate dome.

0:23:090:23:11

The combined cocoa butter and heated chocolate is tempered

0:23:130:23:17

until it's cooled down to exactly 28 degrees.

0:23:170:23:21

-28.3.

-This is the most difficult part, do you know that?

-Right.

0:23:240:23:28

If you don't do that properly, you're not going to have the dome,

0:23:280:23:32

it will melt, it will crack, OK?

0:23:320:23:35

This is the bad part. If you do that one properly,

0:23:350:23:37

at least we can serve the dome without anything inside.

0:23:370:23:40

-At least it will look good.

-OK.

-Well done, carry on.

-All about the dome.

0:23:400:23:44

Next, she has to coat the moulds evenly

0:23:440:23:48

with the tempered chocolate.

0:23:480:23:50

They are very, very, very thin and delicate, so...

0:23:510:23:55

This is quite, quite intense.

0:23:560:23:59

Once in the moulds,

0:24:020:24:03

the chocolate is left to set for at least three hours.

0:24:030:24:07

I hope she did the chocolate very well,

0:24:070:24:10

because you don't know until the end if it's right or wrong.

0:24:100:24:13

So I'm a bit worried about that. Let's see what happens.

0:24:130:24:16

Across the kitchen,

0:24:160:24:18

Sophie is getting a masterclass in the art of pasta-making.

0:24:180:24:22

I'm happy with this. You see my hand now?

0:24:220:24:24

-Yes, yes, yes!

-Yeah?

-Yes.

0:24:240:24:26

-You want to achieve that.

-Oh, my Lord!

0:24:270:24:30

-Should we try?

-Let's try.

0:24:300:24:32

Ooh! Hello.

0:24:340:24:36

Stop. Stop.

0:24:380:24:40

Ooh!

0:24:400:24:42

-It's too wide now?

-Yes.

0:24:420:24:44

Don't do it too big, otherwise you'll break this machine

0:24:440:24:47

-and you won't succeed today.

-No.

-Yeah?

0:24:470:24:49

It doesn't feel quite thin enough.

0:24:540:24:56

I think I'll do it one more time.

0:24:560:24:59

Couple of metres of pasta.

0:25:060:25:08

I can see my hand. And feel my heart pounding.

0:25:090:25:12

SHE LAUGHS

0:25:120:25:14

What do you think?

0:25:140:25:15

Finally. Now we're talking. Now we're talking. Well done.

0:25:150:25:19

With the egg pasta ready,

0:25:210:25:23

Sophie can now make a start on the green egg-and-nettle pasta.

0:25:230:25:27

Just to let you know we've got one hour and a half. OK?

0:25:280:25:32

-It's time to push now, yeah? OK.

-Yes, Chef!

0:25:320:25:35

Charley, meanwhile, is concerned about getting the right

0:25:390:25:42

balance of flavours for his reduction.

0:25:420:25:45

Add the tomato and stuff. Hopefully I've added enough there.

0:25:460:25:50

-You need to taste at one point.

-Yeah. But you normally do it later.

0:25:500:25:53

-It doesn't matter, does it?

-Well...

-It does?

-No, it does.

0:25:530:25:56

You need to taste it during the preparation.

0:25:560:25:58

During the preparation, yeah.

0:25:580:26:00

Here you have all the vegetables.

0:26:000:26:03

Look at how beautiful these are. Look. They're just stunning.

0:26:030:26:07

In the dessert section, Jodie is preparing her mousse.

0:26:090:26:12

It's going really cool, I like it.

0:26:130:26:15

The ice cream is in this amazing ice-cream-maker.

0:26:180:26:21

The biscuits are already being chilled.

0:26:210:26:23

Then some caramelised hazelnuts and to make some caramel sauce.

0:26:240:26:29

I think we are cruising. Really good.

0:26:290:26:31

The cream needs to be carefully folded into the chocolate

0:26:310:26:35

and hazelnut mix.

0:26:350:26:37

If the mixture is too cold then it may split, and the mousse is ruined.

0:26:370:26:41

There's bits in it.

0:26:410:26:43

-It's gone a bit funny, hasn't it?

-Yes.

0:26:460:26:49

-Start again?

-You should do it again.

-OK.

0:26:490:26:52

Hi, darling, how are you?

0:26:530:26:55

I left the chocolate a bit cold when I was doing your thing and it split.

0:26:550:26:59

-What is this?

-It split.

-Ah.

0:26:590:27:01

Make sure the chocolate is not that cold because this is what you get.

0:27:010:27:04

-It looks like a ricotta cheese with a bit of flavouring.

-Yes.

-Yeah?

0:27:040:27:07

-Come on. You can do it, Jodie.

-I can do it. I will.

0:27:070:27:10

178...

0:27:100:27:12

-What do you need now?

-Aubergine...

0:27:120:27:15

That's the next step. Aubergine, OK? So, purple aubergine.

0:27:150:27:19

The most beautiful aubergine I've ever seen.

0:27:190:27:22

Once sliced, the aubergine needs to be cooked in the deep-fryer

0:27:240:27:28

until golden brown.

0:27:280:27:30

Can I ask you how brown these are meant to go?

0:27:330:27:35

-I think you can take them out now.

-OK, golden brown.

-Yep.

-Yep.

0:27:350:27:39

Next, Sophie needs to work quickly to get all her quail's eggs

0:27:390:27:44

peeled for her pastachina.

0:27:440:27:46

I've got 46 to do. So...

0:27:480:27:51

SHE LAUGHS

0:27:510:27:54

-Watch the clock. We really need to...

-Crack on.

0:27:540:27:57

-Crack on. Yeah?

-OK.

-Come on.

0:27:570:27:59

Charley, meanwhile, appears to be well in control.

0:27:590:28:03

Charley, your section looks remarkably calm.

0:28:050:28:07

Yeah, I mean, I think it's the plating up, for me,

0:28:070:28:10

that's going to be tough.

0:28:100:28:12

Are you completely on time?

0:28:120:28:15

I'm ready to go now.

0:28:150:28:17

-Good work, son.

-Well...

0:28:170:28:19

Massive boasting rights, Charley, if you pull this off, son.

0:28:190:28:23

CHARLEY CHUCKLES

0:28:230:28:25

With all her elements finally ready,

0:28:280:28:31

Sophie can begin to build her pastachina.

0:28:310:28:34

As soon as we get this assembled,

0:28:340:28:36

we'll be OK. We'll get it in the oven.

0:28:360:28:39

Each element must be carefully layered.

0:28:420:28:45

-You've got one hour to go. Not much time left, huh?

-OK.

0:28:460:28:50

-Bit of pressure for you.

-Yes.

-OK?

0:28:500:28:52

Mozzarella.

0:28:520:28:54

Mozzarella.

0:28:540:28:55

I think it's looking beautiful. It feels lovely.

0:28:590:29:03

-Sophie, go in the oven now.

-Now?

-Go in the oven now.

0:29:090:29:12

It's a bit late.

0:29:150:29:18

With just 50 minutes before service begins,

0:29:180:29:20

Sophie still needs to cook her pastachina...

0:29:200:29:23

Oh, God, it just fits in there. That's nice.

0:29:230:29:26

..and then allow enough time for it to cool.

0:29:260:29:29

Good luck, lasagne.

0:29:290:29:31

Ohh!

0:29:310:29:32

After ruining her first mousse,

0:29:340:29:36

Jodie can't afford any slip-ups with her second attempt.

0:29:360:29:40

Melting chocolate - check.

0:29:400:29:42

Whipping cream - check.

0:29:420:29:44

The whipped cream must be added to the chocolate

0:29:450:29:48

when it reaches 32 degrees.

0:29:480:29:50

Almost there!

0:29:500:29:52

Right, 32, off we go!

0:29:540:29:57

Now I've got it spot-on,

0:29:570:30:00

and it's going to be amazing.

0:30:000:30:03

-That's much better.

-OK.

0:30:050:30:08

-Into the mould.

-Into the mould.

0:30:080:30:10

We've got some important guests. All of them are also friends.

0:30:110:30:15

No-one goes out of L'Anima unhappy about the food.

0:30:150:30:19

So I'll just make sure that everything is going to be good.

0:30:190:30:23

MUSIC: "The Immigrant" from The Godfather II

0:30:230:30:26

INDISTINCT CHATTER

0:30:550:30:58

I expect a very high standard.

0:31:030:31:05

And I guess, you know, they put up to cook for us,

0:31:050:31:08

so that we will judge them with the same way

0:31:080:31:10

that we judge our chef in our kitchen.

0:31:100:31:13

Francesco is a fantastic cook. I love Francesco's food

0:31:150:31:18

and I think it's going to be quite daunting for the chefs

0:31:180:31:21

who are cooking for the Italian Mafia here.

0:31:210:31:23

It doesn't get tougher than this.

0:31:230:31:25

The food has to be clean, nice and tasty, above all,

0:31:260:31:30

because the most important thing of Italian food is the taste.

0:31:300:31:34

These celebrities, they've been through a journey.

0:31:340:31:38

This is the final for them and they know that we are the top of the tree

0:31:380:31:43

when it comes to Italian food in this country.

0:31:430:31:46

So, yes, they'll be very nervous.

0:31:460:31:48

Sophie's pastachina is cooked...

0:31:500:31:52

Follow me.

0:31:530:31:55

..but needs time to cool before it can be sliced and served.

0:31:550:31:59

-That's going to make things quicker.

-Yeah.

-Hopefully.

0:31:590:32:02

-Well, it's cooled me down.

-Thank you. Thank you. Let's close.

-OK.

0:32:020:32:06

All right, Sophie. You have to push here.

0:32:090:32:11

-Got 15 minutes to go.

-Yeah.

-You've got to make the pesto sauce.

-Yeah.

0:32:110:32:14

You still have to cool down the lasagne,

0:32:140:32:16

slice and pan-fry it, OK?

0:32:160:32:17

-Let's quick, quick, quick.

-OK.

-Yeah?

0:32:170:32:19

All in, cover and start.

0:32:190:32:21

So, go and check your pastachina now, yeah?

0:32:300:32:32

-Take it out the chiller?

-Take it out and let's check it.

0:32:320:32:36

-Right.

-There, Chef.

0:32:400:32:42

Sophie, that looks good. That looks good!

0:32:420:32:45

Now let me see if it's cold.

0:32:450:32:47

-No, it's still warm.

-Still warm?

0:32:470:32:48

Back into the blast chiller.

0:32:480:32:50

-Have we got time?

-Erm, no. Come on. Quick, quick, quick.

0:32:500:32:53

There you go. Cool down, baby, cool down.

0:32:590:33:02

Sophie, you've run out of time here, yeah?

0:33:130:33:15

-OK.

-OK? Quick, quick, quick.

0:33:150:33:17

-We've still got to pan-fry the pastachina.

-Yeah.

0:33:170:33:20

OK, now, Sophie, run and get your pastachina. Run!

0:33:250:33:29

-OK, cold. All right.

-Yep.

0:33:380:33:40

Take it up. Slowly, slowly!

0:33:430:33:46

SOPHIE GASPS

0:33:480:33:50

Yes, Sophie! Brava! I'll tell Mum.

0:33:510:33:53

Olive oil on the plancha, as I showed you.

0:34:020:34:04

-It was just a little bit, wasn't it?

-A little bit.

0:34:040:34:07

-I'm helping you. Go.

-Thank you.

0:34:090:34:11

-Put it here. Some space.

-Here.

-Here.

0:34:110:34:13

Up here. Go and finish your dish now.

0:34:140:34:17

-Check your lasagne. Is it all right?

-Yep.

0:34:190:34:22

-I think it is.

-Are you sure?

0:34:220:34:24

-Yes, Chef.

-OK, take it out.

-Take it out.

0:34:240:34:26

-Steady hands, Sophie.

-Steady hands.

0:34:310:34:33

-Are you happy with this?

-Yes, Chef. Yes, Chef.

0:34:380:34:41

OK, let's go.

0:34:410:34:42

You've done it, yeah?

0:34:460:34:47

-Yeah.

-Good. Well done.

0:34:470:34:49

Ha! Oh!

0:34:490:34:51

SHE LAUGHS

0:34:510:34:53

You did well. You did well.

0:34:530:34:55

-You did one of the most difficult dishes.

-Really?

0:34:570:34:59

And one of my mum's recipes. So, I'm proud of you, you know that?

0:34:590:35:02

-Really, Chef?

-Yeah!

-Oh!

0:35:020:35:04

Four plates of lasagne has never felt so...

0:35:150:35:19

..emotional.

0:35:200:35:22

Ahh...

0:35:220:35:24

It didn't look like Francesco's did.

0:35:250:35:27

Looked a bit TOO rustic, maybe,

0:35:270:35:30

but hope they like it.

0:35:300:35:32

Sophie's starter is lasagne pastachina,

0:35:350:35:39

filled with quail's eggs, fried aubergine,

0:35:390:35:42

peas and spicy salami

0:35:420:35:45

and accompanied with tomato fondue, grana Padano mousse

0:35:450:35:48

and pesto cream.

0:35:480:35:50

Very modern.

0:35:500:35:51

I don't think that somebody in Calabria would cook like this.

0:35:510:35:55

But...

0:35:550:35:57

provided the taste is there, that's fine.

0:35:570:35:59

There is some nice flavours.

0:36:040:36:06

The actual spinach filling there is quite tasty.

0:36:060:36:09

I would say it's a little bit ambitious.

0:36:090:36:11

Things...they could have been different in taste and so on,

0:36:110:36:15

but I appreciate the work was done here.

0:36:150:36:18

The idea of a lasagne is that

0:36:180:36:20

it is one thing that you eat

0:36:200:36:22

and all the ingredients come to play as you are eating it.

0:36:220:36:25

At the moment, this is not one dish.

0:36:250:36:27

To be fair to the person that cooked it, they've done a decent job

0:36:270:36:31

and the ingredients are all there.

0:36:310:36:33

It's flavoured, it's tasty and I'm going to eat it

0:36:330:36:36

because I'm quite hungry.

0:36:360:36:38

-Wow, that is far lighter than it looks!

-Mm!

0:36:440:36:47

Good seasoning. Sweet notes, salty notes,

0:36:470:36:49

tangy, tomato, rich notes.

0:36:490:36:52

Huge amount of work. And you can see at the last minute,

0:36:520:36:54

she's got a little bit nervous

0:36:540:36:55

and it's all starting to fall apart at the edges,

0:36:550:36:57

but I think she's executed the dish really well.

0:36:570:37:00

I'll tell you what, Sophie's never, ever done work

0:37:000:37:02

as complex and intricate as that. She should be proud of herself.

0:37:020:37:06

-ALL:

-Hello, Sophie!

-Hello. Hello. Lovely to see you.

0:37:090:37:13

-Have you enjoyed yourself?

-I did, yeah.

0:37:130:37:15

It was...it was really challenging,

0:37:150:37:17

erm, but it was amazing in that kitchen.

0:37:170:37:21

The actual dish you created had a lot of good things going for it...

0:37:210:37:24

-Yeah.

-..like the pasta. I liked the pasta

0:37:240:37:26

and the sort of spinach puree was nice.

0:37:260:37:30

-Really?

-Considering that you've never done this before

0:37:300:37:32

and considering where you are, in this amazing kitchen in there,

0:37:320:37:36

and you knowing who's sitting here waiting for this dish,

0:37:360:37:39

you've done a great job.

0:37:390:37:41

-Thank you. Thank you.

-Thank you.

-Well done.

0:37:410:37:44

A pleasure to serve you. I've so enjoyed it.

0:37:440:37:46

It was a lovely, lovely experience. Thank you, gents.

0:37:460:37:50

Oh! It was ridiculously nerve-racking, actually,

0:37:550:38:00

and they felt I'd made a good effort.

0:38:000:38:03

I don't think I should be too downhearted.

0:38:030:38:06

-OK, here we go.

-Make sure you're spot-on.

-OK, Chef.

-OK?

0:38:100:38:13

Charley's Sicilian rabbit has a number of elements

0:38:150:38:18

that need to come together at the same time.

0:38:180:38:21

Bigger. Bigger. And move your knife.

0:38:270:38:30

OK. Vegetables...

0:38:350:38:38

-It's looking good, Chef.

-You sure?

0:38:450:38:47

-Yes, Chef.

-Let's taste it now.

0:38:470:38:48

It's got a little bit of the herbs and a bit of vinegar to go

0:38:480:38:52

just at the end.

0:38:520:38:54

-Brava. Go, quick, quick, quick.

-OK.

0:38:540:38:56

-I'm going to help only if you ask me now, yeah?

-Yes, Chef.

0:38:580:39:01

OK. Fine. Now go with the rabbit.

0:39:040:39:06

-Charley?

-Yes.

0:39:100:39:11

-You're doing presentation, mate.

-Ha!

0:39:110:39:14

It's going to be a rabbit which plays in its own garden.

0:39:150:39:18

CHARLEY LAUGHS

0:39:180:39:20

Oh! Come on, Charley.

0:39:240:39:26

Concentrate now, Charley. Don't let it down.

0:39:260:39:29

Be focused, Charley. Be focused. We need it there.

0:39:290:39:31

More sauce here. More sauce here. More sauce there.

0:39:310:39:34

-I think we're ready.

-OK, guys, ready to go.

-Yep.

0:39:370:39:39

Man, that looks good.

0:39:390:39:41

-You're sweating, man.

-I am.

0:39:410:39:43

I'm sweating with fear.

0:39:430:39:45

-You did well. You did well.

-Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

0:39:450:39:48

If it tastes the way it looks...

0:39:480:39:50

-It'll be all right.

-..you did your job.

0:39:500:39:52

I've never cooked food delicate like that before.

0:39:590:40:02

I just hope I didn't overdo the rabbit.

0:40:020:40:04

The rabbit's so easily overdone.

0:40:040:40:06

Erm, I don't know. We'll just see what happens, you know?

0:40:060:40:09

Just see what happens.

0:40:090:40:11

Charley's Sicilian rabbit is rolled saddle stuffed with offal,

0:40:150:40:19

pancetta, garlic and rosemary,

0:40:190:40:22

with confit shoulder and legs.

0:40:220:40:24

Accompanying the rabbit are stuffed courgette flowers,

0:40:240:40:28

sauteed baby vegetables, mashed potato and a rabbit reduction.

0:40:280:40:33

It looks pleasant. The smell is good...

0:40:330:40:36

depending from the taste.

0:40:360:40:40

The seasoning's good. And it's got a nice sort of sweet taste.

0:40:460:40:49

There's nothing on this plate that tastes...kind of wrong.

0:40:490:40:53

That's probably one thing, Theo, that I'm going to disagree with you.

0:40:530:40:56

I don't think it's seasoned enough.

0:40:560:40:58

I'm not feeling the seasoning of the rabbit.

0:40:580:41:01

The rabbit is a bland meat

0:41:010:41:03

and this is a bland meat on the plate.

0:41:030:41:06

It takes a very special quality to cook a rabbit the proper way.

0:41:060:41:11

The cooking of the rabbit has sort of...

0:41:110:41:13

It's dried it up a little bit.

0:41:130:41:15

It's a little bit dry, but, you know, overall, it's a decent dish.

0:41:150:41:19

Obviously, you know, he overcooked the rabbit and that's a big mistake.

0:41:190:41:23

The only piece that I accept is this one with the stuffing,

0:41:230:41:29

which I believe is the tummy,

0:41:290:41:31

and the stuffing is quite good.

0:41:310:41:34

The rest is a bit too dry.

0:41:340:41:36

Mm!

0:41:400:41:42

This is what Charley does best, big flavours.

0:41:420:41:44

And there's a huge amount of work in here.

0:41:440:41:46

Lots and lots of intricate work.

0:41:460:41:47

Lovely, thick, wonderful sauce that goes with the vegetables.

0:41:470:41:50

All cooked very, very well. Huge amount of stuff going on.

0:41:500:41:54

I'm pleased because of the amount of complexity

0:41:540:41:56

and the flavour balance and the presentation.

0:41:560:42:00

This is what Charley has been attempting since he got on here.

0:42:000:42:03

THEY GREET CHARLEY

0:42:100:42:12

Yeah... I'm feeling a little nervous, I must say.

0:42:120:42:15

I didn't quite realise that

0:42:150:42:16

I'd have to come and face you guys, so, you know?

0:42:160:42:19

That's the first time - we sitting down

0:42:190:42:21

and you standing there with a white jacket.

0:42:210:42:23

-Yeah! Yeah!

-It's changed completely.

-It's bizarre, isn't it?

0:42:230:42:26

-It's never happened to me before!

-This is just totally wrong.

0:42:260:42:29

No, Charley, you know what?

0:42:290:42:31

I think the dish actually did work together.

0:42:310:42:34

You lost it a little bit on the rabbit.

0:42:340:42:36

You went a bit overcooked and made it a bit dry.

0:42:360:42:39

Right, OK.

0:42:390:42:40

But flavour-wise, as far as the rabbit, I ate all of it.

0:42:400:42:42

-I'll actually pick up that bone and chew it in a minute.

-OK!

0:42:420:42:45

-I thought it was very good.

-OK, thank you very much, guys. Cheers.

0:42:450:42:48

Thank you. Thank you.

0:42:480:42:49

Wow! Wow! That was...

0:42:580:43:00

That was intense!

0:43:000:43:02

I didn't realise that we had to stand there in front of them.

0:43:020:43:07

They said the rabbit was slightly overdone, especially the legs,

0:43:070:43:09

which is a real disappointment. So, on the whole, I think it was OK.

0:43:090:43:13

Oh, God!

0:43:130:43:15

Just... What a...what a...

0:43:150:43:17

What a whirlwind, that is!

0:43:170:43:19

Right! I'm doing it.

0:43:200:43:22

OK. Do you know what you're doing here?

0:43:220:43:25

-Yes, Chef, I do.

-Good. Good.

0:43:250:43:29

Very gentle touch, but still...

0:43:340:43:36

Brava so far. OK. Take your chocolate out now.

0:43:360:43:40

Very gentle. Very, very gentle, OK?

0:43:410:43:44

You...you don't want to crack them, yeah?

0:43:480:43:50

It's a bit like, you know,

0:43:500:43:51

when you do your make-up, darling, yeah?

0:43:510:43:53

SHE SCOFFS

0:43:530:43:55

It looks like Gregg Wallace's face, that one.

0:43:550:43:59

I love the banter!

0:43:590:44:00

Hey! OK.

0:44:040:44:07

-Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze. You are in charge.

-Argh!

-Yeah?

-OK.

0:44:070:44:12

OK, get your ice cream out.

0:44:200:44:22

-You have to be very quick now, yeah?

-Yeah.

0:44:240:44:27

Quick, quick, quick, quick. It's melting. It's melting.

0:44:290:44:32

They are soft!

0:44:320:44:33

One by one now. Be careful.

0:44:330:44:35

If you crack them now, we're done.

0:44:350:44:37

Last one, darling.

0:44:430:44:44

-Can you please go and check your caramel? OK.

-Yep.

0:44:440:44:47

-Is it hot enough?

-It's not bubbling.

0:44:470:44:49

Come on. Few more, few more. Give it ten more seconds.

0:44:490:44:51

-The ice cream is melting there, yeah?

-Yeah, I know.

0:44:510:44:55

-Is it hot?

-Yes.

0:44:550:44:57

OK, guys, go!

0:45:010:45:03

Quick, guys. Quick, quick, quick, quick. Guys, quick, quick.

0:45:030:45:07

I just loved every second of that but, yes, I just hope...

0:45:070:45:11

hope they like it, cos there's a lot of time

0:45:110:45:14

and a lot of effort that goes into something that is gone.

0:45:140:45:19

Ooh! That looks good.

0:45:190:45:21

Oh, there we go!

0:45:210:45:24

Jodie's dessert is a gianduiotto -

0:45:240:45:27

chocolate hazelnut mousse

0:45:270:45:29

and hazelnut ice cream encased in a chocolate dome

0:45:290:45:32

topped with a hazelnut spike and served with heated caramel.

0:45:320:45:37

Ah!

0:45:440:45:46

Yes! Perfect.

0:45:460:45:48

That's so good.

0:45:480:45:50

-Darling, you did well. You did well. You did well.

-Yeah!

0:45:500:45:53

Mm. Mm!

0:45:550:45:57

I thought the whole dramatic thing was very impressive.

0:46:020:46:05

I absolutely adore chocolate

0:46:050:46:06

and I think this was just brilliant flavours

0:46:060:46:08

and to follow that recipe and to get it just like that

0:46:080:46:11

is very impressive.

0:46:110:46:12

Technically perfect.

0:46:120:46:14

It was very well done. Not easy to, by any chef, not easy to repeat this.

0:46:140:46:20

And this was a great execution, yeah,

0:46:200:46:22

temperature-wise, consistency and flavour.

0:46:220:46:26

So, very good. Very, very good.

0:46:260:46:28

Well, the person that's done this, she or he could probably come

0:46:280:46:32

and make my desserts in my restaurant...any time.

0:46:320:46:36

Whoa-ho-ho!

0:46:390:46:40

That is chocolate luxury.

0:46:440:46:47

Absolute luxury and that blend of hot and cold,

0:46:470:46:50

caramel and chocolate, John, is divine.

0:46:500:46:53

She's made a biscuit, she's had to temper chocolate,

0:46:530:46:55

she had to make caramel sauce, make ice cream, make mousse,

0:46:550:46:58

all things together, and then assemble everything.

0:46:580:47:01

And she's done a great job.

0:47:010:47:03

-Hello! How are you? Is that...

-Hi, Jodie.

0:47:070:47:10

-They're all finished?

-Yes.

0:47:100:47:13

Wow! That's amazing. You've all but licked it.

0:47:130:47:16

Do you make pastry much?

0:47:180:47:20

No. I've spent 20 years in the fashion industry,

0:47:200:47:24

so don't really have a lot of pudding.

0:47:240:47:26

-Because that was absolutely brilliant.

-Really?

0:47:260:47:29

To execute that to that standard

0:47:290:47:31

takes a takes a huge amount of skill...

0:47:310:47:33

-Impressed.

-Very impressed.

0:47:330:47:35

Gosh, thank you very much.

0:47:350:47:37

I couldn't be able to do it at once.

0:47:370:47:39

If you send me a recipe, I couldn't do it like this.

0:47:390:47:42

-Aldo, as well, is not able to do it.

-Well done, Jodie.

0:47:420:47:45

Thank you very much. Thank you, guys. Thank you.

0:47:450:47:48

They'd eaten it all. Wow!

0:47:550:47:58

I'm feeling completely buzzed.

0:47:580:48:00

I think that was just awesome.

0:48:000:48:02

I'm so...

0:48:020:48:04

happy and they all loved it! SHE SQUEALS

0:48:040:48:07

All right, guys. What a day, yeah?

0:48:100:48:12

Amazing! Thank you.

0:48:120:48:13

-What a day! You had fun?

-ALL: Yeah.

-I hope you learned something new.

0:48:130:48:17

ALL: Yes, absolutely.

0:48:170:48:18

-Charley, grazie.

-It was good fun. Thank you.

0:48:180:48:20

Sophie, you had the most difficult one.

0:48:200:48:23

You had the most difficult one.

0:48:230:48:24

-Jodie, well done.

-Mwah! Mwah!

-Well done.

0:48:240:48:27

Bravissima. Bravissima.

0:48:270:48:29

Good.

0:48:300:48:32

Our finalists today cooked to a level

0:48:320:48:34

they would never have dreamed of doing a few weeks ago.

0:48:340:48:38

There were points where the seasoning was out

0:48:380:48:40

and maybe things weren't quite as sharp as they could be...

0:48:400:48:44

..but, actually, I'm really proud of our three celebs, really proud.

0:48:450:48:48

They coped with the pressure and today, for them, really,

0:48:480:48:52

it's their last lesson in this competition.

0:48:520:48:54

They've now got to walk away from here

0:48:540:48:56

and think about this experience

0:48:560:48:58

and understand what they've got to do if they want to raise that trophy.

0:48:580:49:01

This is it!

0:49:170:49:18

This is the final cook-off!

0:49:180:49:20

Right now, for me, even playing field.

0:49:220:49:24

Who's going to be our champion?

0:49:250:49:27

If I won, I imagine I'll just wear the big, erm...

0:49:270:49:32

thing round my neck and gallivant around the local community naked

0:49:320:49:36

being impossibly...

0:49:360:49:38

..pleased with myself.

0:49:400:49:42

All three of us just need to remember

0:49:460:49:48

that we're in the final of MasterChef and try and enjoy it

0:49:480:49:52

cos it's the last day, so...you know?

0:49:520:49:55

Something switched where I'm like,

0:49:550:49:57

"Right, let's really do it. You've got this far."

0:49:570:50:01

I've created something that's either going to be amazing

0:50:010:50:05

or it's going to be a disaster.

0:50:050:50:07

-SOPHIE LAUGHS

-Oh, God!

0:50:070:50:10

Let's crown one of these champion.

0:50:180:50:21

Welcome back... for the last, last time

0:50:360:50:40

to the MasterChef kitchen.

0:50:400:50:43

I think it's been an amazing competition.

0:50:450:50:49

Right now, the only thing that stands between you and the

0:50:510:50:56

title of Celebrity MasterChef Champion are these dishes.

0:50:560:51:01

I wish you luck. I actually can't wait.

0:51:030:51:07

Your own food. Three courses. Two-and-a-half hours.

0:51:090:51:14

At the end of this, ladies and gentlemen, one MasterChef champion.

0:51:140:51:18

Let's cook!

0:51:180:51:19

Charley Boorman has turned out to be a very sophisticated cook.

0:51:330:51:37

Charley's food is as adventurous as he is on a motorbike. It's daring.

0:51:390:51:45

And it's full of flavour and it's brash and it's bold.

0:51:450:51:49

One thing with Charley, he's inconsistent.

0:51:510:51:54

And today, those three courses have to be as good as each other.

0:51:540:51:57

From the dishes that I've chosen, I think

0:52:010:52:03

if I can get it right, then sure. I think I'm in with a real chance

0:52:030:52:07

But then that's exactly what all the others are thinking as well, so...

0:52:100:52:14

Charley, I'm used to you having loads and loads of ingredients.

0:52:170:52:20

-This is the final and this looks spartan.

-I know.

0:52:200:52:22

I'm just trying to sort of be a little bit more refined today

0:52:220:52:25

and just make it, hopefully, taste really nice.

0:52:250:52:28

Charley, what are you cooking for us?

0:52:280:52:30

I'm cooking razor clams with chilli, fennel and leek,

0:52:300:52:35

and then cod with wild garlic pesto,

0:52:350:52:39

and then I'm doing a sort of espresso creme brulee for dessert.

0:52:390:52:43

I think you've got yourself a lot of work to do because with

0:52:430:52:46

each of these dishes, you've got nowhere to hide, Charley, have you?

0:52:460:52:49

Nowhere at all to hide. It's just... You know, there it is.

0:52:490:52:53

And hopefully, hopefully you'll like it.

0:52:530:52:57

I think I'm hanging myself out here to either be crucified or...

0:52:570:53:02

or do OK.

0:53:020:53:04

Charley's food for the final is all dainty and refined

0:53:080:53:12

and that's not the food that got Charley here in the first place.

0:53:120:53:16

The clam inside the shell,

0:53:180:53:20

bits of chilli, bits of fennel have got to be cooked precisely...

0:53:200:53:24

..because otherwise it goes chewy

0:53:250:53:28

and it's like having fish-flavoured chewing gum.

0:53:280:53:32

The main course... I think that's a really big ask

0:53:320:53:35

because that cod's got to be beautifully cooked.

0:53:350:53:38

That ricotta gnocchi has got to be as nice as you like.

0:53:380:53:41

But cheese, hazelnut, garlic, cod...

0:53:410:53:45

Wouldn't stick it in a sandwich, would you?

0:53:450:53:48

A coffee creme brulee from Charley for dessert. Very, very nice indeed.

0:53:500:53:55

The only problem is, they've got to set and they've got to set firm

0:53:550:53:58

and he won't know that till he pulls him out the fridge.

0:53:580:54:01

If they've not, there's nothing he can do about it.

0:54:010:54:04

This is called fingers crossed, up-to-the-wire cooking.

0:54:040:54:08

There's a lot... Like always, there's a lot to go wrong.

0:54:110:54:15

Is it enough to win? I don't know.

0:54:170:54:19

I mean, each time we've been in these positions, I've...

0:54:190:54:22

I've questioned myself every time whether it's enough or not

0:54:220:54:25

and I've gone through this blind panic every time,

0:54:250:54:29

you know, so I don't think today's any different.

0:54:290:54:32

30 minutes is gone. You have two hours.

0:54:370:54:40

Your first 30 minutes is already gone.

0:54:400:54:43

I love Sophie's dishes. I love them.

0:54:460:54:49

When she gets them right, she's the best.

0:54:490:54:51

Sophie, for me, is a wonderful cook.

0:54:510:54:54

She has a real touch, a real heart, a real feeling.

0:54:570:55:01

But every so often, the flavour combinations are a little bit off.

0:55:030:55:07

Today, I hope she gets those flavours bang on.

0:55:070:55:10

I think you've got to push yourself at this point.

0:55:120:55:15

It's your last meal, so, you know, you can't serve up shepherd's pie.

0:55:150:55:19

You've just got to be really positive...

0:55:190:55:23

..otherwise you're wasting the moment.

0:55:250:55:28

Sophie, my observation is that suddenly it looks like you've become

0:55:300:55:34

at peace with yourself. You're very serene, and there's no panic.

0:55:340:55:39

But it's almost as if you've just finally given way to it.

0:55:390:55:43

I just thought, "Today, I just want to just enjoy it."

0:55:430:55:48

And this kitchen now feels quite homey.

0:55:480:55:52

It's just brilliant to be here on the last day.

0:55:520:55:55

-Can't believe it.

-Great because you've finally been set free,

0:55:550:55:59

or great because it's the final day?

0:55:590:56:01

Great because it means I didn't miss any of it.

0:56:010:56:04

I got to the end of the whole play.

0:56:040:56:06

Tell us what you're going to cook for us.

0:56:060:56:09

To start, you're having a roulade of juniper duck breast

0:56:090:56:14

with corn puree,

0:56:140:56:16

and a port-and-wild-mushroom jus.

0:56:160:56:20

It would have been gravy when I started, but it's a jus now.

0:56:220:56:24

And then brill with red pepper crust,

0:56:240:56:28

and scallops and black pudding,

0:56:280:56:31

-and chive butter sauce.

-Ooooh!

0:56:310:56:34

And then for pudding, you're going to have a steamed cherry pudding

0:56:340:56:38

on pistachio, with a brandy ice cream and a butterscotch sauce.

0:56:380:56:42

Well, you're all right, aren't you?

0:56:420:56:45

-Mate, that is wonderful-sounding dishes.

-Good.

0:56:450:56:49

Sophie, you've got your cooking headscarf on

0:56:490:56:52

-and some beautiful ingredients here today.

-Yeah.

0:56:520:56:55

I'll try not to cook the scarf and end up wearing the scallops.

0:56:550:56:59

Excellent!

0:56:590:57:01

Right now, Sophie is playing with fire with her starter.

0:57:070:57:11

Sweetcorn, mushrooms and duck I really think is wonderful.

0:57:120:57:15

Juniper berry AND port together with those as well?

0:57:150:57:18

Maybe just a bit too much.

0:57:180:57:20

There is lots of adventure going on with Sophie's main course

0:57:210:57:24

and, again, we can see Sophie's character.

0:57:240:57:27

Brill, scallops, black pudding,

0:57:280:57:32

butter sauce and red peppers.

0:57:320:57:34

It's daring.

0:57:360:57:37

What I love the sound of is a cherry steamed pudding with pistachio nuts

0:57:370:57:43

and brandy ice cream.

0:57:430:57:46

Oh, yeah. That is right up my street.

0:57:460:57:48

The butterscotch coming into play. Risky.

0:57:490:57:52

I hope they show things that I've learned.

0:57:550:57:58

I suppose that remains to be seen.

0:57:580:58:00

But they all, to me, look like Soph's cooking,

0:58:010:58:06

but with the condiment of MasterChef.

0:58:060:58:09

I hope!

0:58:090:58:11

Yeah.

0:58:110:58:13

Final 60 minutes. One hour.

0:58:160:58:20

Jodie's food is brilliant.

0:58:280:58:30

I sometimes can't believe the amount she takes on.

0:58:300:58:34

I cannot believe the processes that she manages in a set time.

0:58:370:58:40

But she has one flaw.

0:58:420:58:44

And that is, she attempts so much

0:58:440:58:46

that sometimes it gets a little bit muddled.

0:58:460:58:49

I want somewhere in the middle with Jodie.

0:58:490:58:51

I want her to push herself, but I want to make sure

0:58:510:58:54

she doesn't cram too much onto one plate.

0:58:540:58:57

If I nail these three dishes today, yes,

0:58:590:59:01

I can win Celebrity MasterChef.

0:59:010:59:04

I hope...

0:59:040:59:06

IF I nail it.

0:59:060:59:08

What three courses do we have, Jodie?

0:59:170:59:19

I am doing for you a tasting of Cornish crab.

0:59:190:59:22

I'm going to do a crab tian, I'm going to do a crab bisque,

0:59:220:59:26

and devil's crab cake. So that's for starter.

0:59:260:59:30

And then fillet of Scottish beef, with textures of onion.

0:59:300:59:33

So I'm doing five different ways of doing onion.

0:59:330:59:37

So I'm doing an onion soubise, an onion marmalade, some button onions,

0:59:370:59:41

I'm going to be doing some spring onions...

0:59:410:59:44

-And... How many is that?

-Four.

0:59:440:59:46

Four? Then I'm going to do some really cool shallot onion rings.

0:59:460:59:49

And then for dessert I'm going to do a warm chocolate fondant

0:59:490:59:53

with orange puree.

0:59:530:59:55

Wow! Jodie.

0:59:550:59:58

Are you confident that if you get it bang on, the title's yours?

0:59:581:00:02

-I hope!

-Really?

1:00:021:00:03

Because I've put a lot of effort and a lot of time and, yes,

1:00:031:00:07

I just hope you like it as much as I think you might.

1:00:071:00:11

The first course is extremely complex.

1:00:151:00:17

A crab bisque, which is flavoured with lemongrass and ginger.

1:00:171:00:22

A tian of crab, so a salad of crab in stacks.

1:00:221:00:25

And then a devil crab cake. Separately, they sounds delicious.

1:00:251:00:29

But, no, Jodie's going to put all three together.

1:00:291:00:33

Followed by beef, with onion five ways.

1:00:341:00:37

Followed by a chocolate fondant.

1:00:391:00:40

Jodie's pudding, I think it's a great idea.

1:00:401:00:43

Warm chocolate fondant, orange puree and orange sauce on the side.

1:00:431:00:47

My concerns are that Jodie pushes herself to such an extent

1:00:481:00:54

that the dishes don't taste as good as they could do if she did less.

1:00:541:00:58

Huge pressure to get these three dishes out

1:01:001:01:03

in this little amount of time.

1:01:031:01:05

It's going to be nerve-racking, but I'm going to get my head down

1:01:051:01:09

and work my little fingers to the bone.

1:01:091:01:12

Oh, I hate to do this to you! You've got 15 minutes.

1:01:201:01:24

You've got about seven minutes, guys, to finish off. Not long.

1:01:341:01:38

Time's up. Well done.

1:02:151:02:17

This never-ending hell!

1:02:371:02:39

Congratulations. Well done, guys.

1:02:391:02:41

-It's fantastic what you guys have done.

-That's incredible.

1:02:421:02:46

Charley, up you come, please.

1:02:461:02:49

Very posh, with the chair.

1:02:491:02:50

OK...

1:02:531:02:54

-How are you doing, Charley?

-Yeah, OK, yeah.

1:02:581:03:00

We want refinement from you.

1:03:001:03:02

And I've got to say, as an observation, I think

1:03:021:03:04

-you have done that.

-Oh!

1:03:041:03:07

I think it looks pretty good.

1:03:071:03:09

Charley's starter is diced razor clams, leek and fennel,

1:03:091:03:13

cooked in chilli-and-lemon-thyme-infused butter,

1:03:131:03:17

then grilled with a Parmesan-and-breadcrumb top

1:03:171:03:19

and served with mashed potato.

1:03:191:03:22

That is light in texture,

1:03:361:03:39

big on flavour.

1:03:391:03:41

You can't ask for anything else. It's as pretty as a picture.

1:03:411:03:44

Perfectly cooked. Not chewy.

1:03:441:03:46

And you have delivered with it little chilli notes,

1:03:461:03:50

little citrus notes. Very, very good indeed.

1:03:501:03:55

As dainty as you like, but the flavours are absolute.

1:03:551:03:58

I'm really pleased for you.

1:03:581:04:00

I liked the understated majesty of the dish - three little clans,

1:04:001:04:04

crusty on top. It delivers texture and flavour.

1:04:041:04:07

-I think it's a really lovely dish.

-Phew! One down.

1:04:071:04:12

Charley's main is roasted fillet of cod with a hazelnut crust

1:04:121:04:17

served with wild garlic pesto,

1:04:171:04:20

ricotta gnocchi and crispy fish skin.

1:04:201:04:23

I was worried by the combination of ingredients,

1:04:351:04:39

but that works.

1:04:391:04:41

It works really, really well. Your cod is cooked, just.

1:04:411:04:46

That's enough for me. That's enough for me.

1:04:461:04:49

You could cook it some more, but it's cooked. It's flaky. Well done.

1:04:491:04:54

You've made a bit of a fool out of me.

1:04:541:04:56

I said that nuts, cheese, cod and garlic probably wouldn't work.

1:04:561:05:02

I was very wrong. I like that a great deal.

1:05:031:05:06

-I don't mind it.

-You're not convinced, mate, are you?

1:05:061:05:09

I'm not convinced by the gnocchi as a texture.

1:05:091:05:12

I think the fish is beautiful with the nuts, but that gnocchi,

1:05:121:05:15

to me, is just a bit overworked and gone a bit too hard.

1:05:151:05:19

I want something soft with my flaky piece of fish.

1:05:191:05:23

They're fine.

1:05:281:05:31

For his dessert, Charley has made an espresso creme brulee

1:05:311:05:35

served with a shortbread biscuit.

1:05:351:05:38

CHARLEY LAUGHS

1:05:421:05:44

Moments like that, you don't realise how important they are.

1:05:441:05:48

Mmm.

1:05:521:05:53

Mmmm.

1:06:021:06:04

Mmm.

1:06:051:06:06

Slippery, creamy, not too sweet.

1:06:061:06:10

Perfect, rounded, full coffee flavour.

1:06:101:06:14

Lovely. Very, very good shortbread as well. Not too much sugar on it.

1:06:141:06:18

I just love brown, creamy desserts. I'm a child of the '70s.

1:06:181:06:22

If they're creamy and brown, I normally love them,

1:06:221:06:25

and that's what you've given me there. Very good.

1:06:251:06:28

It's a damned fine thing, Charley. A damned fine thing.

1:06:281:06:33

And that is because your shortbread is perfectly made

1:06:331:06:36

and it's crumbly and buttery and soft.

1:06:361:06:39

Your custard inside is the absolute right texture, rich with coffee.

1:06:391:06:44

The crunch of sugar across the top, burnt just enough,

1:06:441:06:46

and the bitterness to the sweetness, I love the whole thing.

1:06:461:06:50

I think it's beautiful and I think it's absolutely faultless.

1:06:501:06:53

-Wow. Thank you.

-A damned fine thing.

1:06:531:06:56

I'd kind of written myself off after I cooked all this.

1:06:581:07:01

-Thanks, Charley.

-Well done, Charley.

-OK.

1:07:021:07:05

HE SIGHS

1:07:051:07:08

I feel quite numb, actually.

1:07:191:07:21

Honestly, I really thought I hadn't done anywhere near enough.

1:07:211:07:25

So I sat down, and they really enjoyed it.

1:07:251:07:28

I think, on the whole, I think... I think they really liked it.

1:07:281:07:32

It's just a painful, painful, painful wait.

1:07:351:07:41

Sophie, up you come.

1:07:411:07:43

-You all right, love?

-Yeah.

1:07:511:07:53

Sophie, I need to tell you something.

1:07:531:07:55

I think these look amazing.

1:07:551:07:57

Oh, I'm so pleased.

1:07:571:07:59

Sophie's first course is roulade of duck stuffed with juniper berries

1:08:021:08:07

and served with sweetcorn puree,

1:08:071:08:10

wild mushrooms and a wild-mushroom-and-port sauce.

1:08:101:08:14

We've told you off before for making your sauces too sweet

1:08:361:08:40

in savoury dishes.

1:08:401:08:42

You've got two sweet sauces on there today...

1:08:421:08:44

-..and they work brilliantly.

-Phew.

1:08:471:08:51

Absolutely brilliantly.

1:08:511:08:53

That dish tastes every bit as good as it looks. That duck is soft.

1:08:531:08:59

There is a hint of juniper throughout, and the mellow

1:08:591:09:03

sweetness of sweetcorn, the deep sweetness of port, it's lovely.

1:09:031:09:09

Oh!

1:09:091:09:10

I love it. I mean, I properly love it.

1:09:111:09:15

Your duck is beautiful and soft,

1:09:151:09:18

you've got the earthiness of the cabbage, that real vibrancy,

1:09:181:09:21

it's like a firecracker, of that juniper, explodes in your mouth

1:09:211:09:25

and brings the sweetcorn and that port and mushroom into one,

1:09:251:09:29

and it's glorious.

1:09:291:09:30

-It is glorious.

-It's fabulous.

1:09:301:09:34

For her second course,

1:09:381:09:39

Sophie has served oven-roasted brill with a pepper crust,

1:09:391:09:44

seared scallops, black pudding, samphire,

1:09:441:09:48

a chive-and-butter sauce and chorizo oil.

1:09:481:09:51

Scallops and black pudding, well cooked, is a lovely,

1:10:021:10:05

tried-and-tested flavour combination.

1:10:051:10:07

The sweetness of the sea and real earthiness from the boudin noir,

1:10:071:10:11

black pudding. Your brill, with its pepper coat, I just love.

1:10:111:10:17

I just love, love, love.

1:10:171:10:19

The brill is soft as you like, it's just falling apart in my mouth.

1:10:191:10:23

And its orange coat tastes of pepper,

1:10:231:10:27

a slight sweetness of maybe tomato, going on to fruitiness,

1:10:271:10:31

and then the heat from the pepper, like a little bit of chilli.

1:10:311:10:34

It's beautiful.

1:10:341:10:37

I agree with Gregg, I love the brill.

1:10:371:10:39

That brill with that pepper crust is absolutely delicious

1:10:391:10:42

and cooked perfectly.

1:10:421:10:43

The crust is... Because you roasted those peppers,

1:10:431:10:46

they become very intense in flavour, almost as if they are paprika.

1:10:461:10:50

And that lovely, smoky warmth that goes with it

1:10:501:10:54

takes you to somewhere by the sea in Spain.

1:10:541:10:57

You are transported to a different place.

1:10:571:11:00

And I love that with that buttery sauce and that wonderful,

1:11:001:11:03

rich black pudding. I think that's wonderful.

1:11:031:11:06

I don't think the scallops are necessary

1:11:061:11:08

because the rest of it, to me, is a wonderful, wonderful thing.

1:11:081:11:12

For dessert, Sophie has made a steamed cherry pudding

1:11:151:11:18

served with butterscotch sauce, crushed pistachio nuts

1:11:181:11:22

and brandy ice cream.

1:11:221:11:25

Yeah, butterscotch and cherries...

1:11:251:11:27

-Hmm.

-OK, OK, OK.

1:11:271:11:30

This, to me, feels like rum and raisin,

1:11:361:11:39

flavours that I have loved as a kid, but it's not rum, it's brandy.

1:11:391:11:43

It's not raisin, it's cherry. But it's so, so similar.

1:11:431:11:47

Held together in a lovely, soft sponge. Butterscotch sauce I like.

1:11:471:11:54

Pistachios I like.

1:11:541:11:56

It's got a whole load of different flavour combinations

1:11:561:12:00

no matter which way you come at it.

1:12:001:12:02

I think they all work very, very well indeed. Very, very well indeed.

1:12:021:12:07

For me, it's like the most amazing Christmas pudding.

1:12:081:12:12

That brandy warmth on the back of your throat

1:12:121:12:15

with that lovely cinnamon and nutmeg and sour cherries

1:12:151:12:19

and butterscotch is absolutely delicious.

1:12:191:12:23

-This dessert really, really excites me.

-Thank you. Thank you so much.

1:12:241:12:30

My legs have gone wobbly.

1:12:331:12:35

I think I did today all that I set out to do.

1:12:411:12:47

I'm just feeling so relieved that they liked the dishes.

1:12:501:12:56

Just relief.

1:12:581:13:00

Jodie, up you come, please.

1:13:021:13:06

God...

1:13:141:13:17

-You OK, mate?

-Yeah. Good.

1:13:171:13:19

-That was quite full-on.

-Full-on?

1:13:191:13:23

Anyway, there we go. I managed to put everything on a plate.

1:13:231:13:26

And I'm amazed you have.

1:13:261:13:28

I've got to say congratulations to you for all the work.

1:13:281:13:31

Jodie's starter is crab three ways.

1:13:311:13:35

Crab bisque, crab tian with salmon, mustard and caviar,

1:13:351:13:42

and a crab cake served with a mango salsa.

1:13:421:13:46

Jodie, I'm going to praise your determination

1:14:011:14:04

and your display of skill.

1:14:041:14:06

I think it's wonderful that you ripped that crab apart,

1:14:061:14:10

and from that crab you made three very tasty morsels.

1:14:101:14:15

My favourite on the plate is that tian.

1:14:151:14:17

With the smoked salmon, that lovely white crab meat,

1:14:171:14:21

it's beautifully balanced. It's soft and wonderful.

1:14:211:14:24

Your bisque is creamy and rich and flavoursome.

1:14:241:14:28

It's a wonderful thing. Your crab cake is as soft as you like,

1:14:281:14:32

with the crispy outside. I think that's absolutely delicious.

1:14:321:14:36

Then being hit with a little bit of mango, for me,

1:14:371:14:42

is a bit of a weird combination.

1:14:421:14:44

-I love the crab cake with the mango.

-OK.

1:14:451:14:48

I like the sweetness that it brings.

1:14:481:14:52

The bisque is so well made.

1:14:521:14:55

Now I know why you spent all that time inside a bin liner

1:14:551:14:59

smashing the hell out of that crab.

1:14:591:15:01

The crab and smoked salmon is good.

1:15:011:15:04

I would like a splash of lemon.

1:15:051:15:07

Saying that, you always put a lot of work into your food.

1:15:091:15:12

That's very, very accomplished.

1:15:121:15:14

For her main, Jodie has cooked seared beef

1:15:161:15:20

served with a potato rosti, and onion five ways.

1:15:201:15:24

Onion marmalade, shallots rings, chargrilled spring onions,

1:15:241:15:30

seared button onions and onion soubise.

1:15:301:15:34

Again, a huge amount of work, Jodie, and I applaud you for it.

1:15:501:15:54

You have the textures of five different onions.

1:15:541:15:57

Your spring onion, sweet and vibrant.

1:15:571:15:59

Your little button onions, a bit sharp and sour.

1:15:591:16:02

Your jam, rich and fragrant.

1:16:021:16:03

Your soubise that sits underneath, creamy and white, as it should be.

1:16:031:16:07

And the crunch and saltiness coming from those crispy shallots.

1:16:071:16:11

All those things going really beautifully with that piece of beef.

1:16:111:16:14

The thing is, that beef - as beautifully cooked as it is -

1:16:141:16:18

to me, lacks seasoning.

1:16:181:16:20

And it needs loads of it, because you've got powerful onion

1:16:201:16:24

around the outside of that nicely cooked rosti.

1:16:241:16:27

I love the crunch

1:16:271:16:30

and the varying strengths of all those different little onions.

1:16:301:16:35

I think the dish is slightly lacking in that I'm just crying out

1:16:351:16:41

for some deep sauce from somewhere...

1:16:411:16:44

-OK.

-..to carry all the onions, to carry the beef, to carry the rosti.

1:16:441:16:50

Very accomplished. Beautiful-looking dish.

1:16:501:16:53

Very, very well cooked. However, I think it's just lacks a sauce.

1:16:531:16:57

OK.

1:16:571:16:58

Mmm. Interesting.

1:16:581:17:00

Jodie's dessert is a warm chocolate fondant, orange marmalade

1:17:021:17:07

and orange-infused whipped cream.

1:17:071:17:11

Look at that. Soft in the centre.

1:17:151:17:19

Your chocolate fondant I love

1:17:261:17:28

because it's sharp and it's bitter, it's a rich with chocolate

1:17:281:17:32

and it's beautifully made with the crispy outside and the soggy centre.

1:17:321:17:36

Your river of orange sauce is brilliant.

1:17:361:17:40

It's like this sharp, bitter marmalade.

1:17:401:17:43

And that marmalade with that chocolate together is a wonderful,

1:17:431:17:47

wonderful combination. I think it's great.

1:17:471:17:50

The cream is going a little bit.

1:17:511:17:54

-It's overworked where you've put the liqueur into it.

-Yeah.

1:17:541:17:57

-It's starting to go a little watery.

-Yes.

1:17:571:17:59

The flavours are inspired.

1:17:591:18:02

I didn't expect that orange sauce to be unsweetened.

1:18:021:18:07

It's a beautiful bitter flavour

1:18:071:18:10

to have with the sweet chocolate pudding.

1:18:101:18:14

Wow, thank you.

1:18:141:18:15

Well done. Thanks, mate.

1:18:171:18:19

I'm not sure about winning it on that. I don't know. I tried so hard.

1:18:291:18:36

I just went to the wire and, you know, I don't know.

1:18:361:18:40

I just don't know.

1:18:411:18:43

I'm not going to cry.

1:18:461:18:48

Just tired...

1:18:481:18:50

We expected great food today and I've got to say, we got it.

1:18:531:18:58

We got it in abundance. And thank you very, very much indeed.

1:18:581:19:01

We now have to make a decision. There's going to be one winner.

1:19:011:19:05

Could you leave us for a little while, please,

1:19:051:19:08

and we will get you back in as soon as we possibly can.

1:19:081:19:10

Thank you very much.

1:19:101:19:12

-This has been a great six weeks.

-Ah, fantastic, John!

1:19:261:19:30

That food today was unbelievable.

1:19:301:19:34

Charley's style changed completely today.

1:19:351:19:38

His dishes looked fantastic.

1:19:381:19:40

Main course of cod I really liked. You weren't too sure.

1:19:401:19:45

For me, the main course lacked that something special.

1:19:451:19:50

What I did like from Charley today was that damn fine creme brulee.

1:19:501:19:54

Charley's journey on this competition has been a great one.

1:19:551:19:59

He's listened along the way and he's changed along the way.

1:19:591:20:02

And we see today the elegance that we demanded in his food.

1:20:021:20:06

And that is a great, great thing.

1:20:061:20:08

One of the lasting memories I will have of this competition is

1:20:101:20:14

Jodie Kidd wearing a bin liner smashing the living daylights

1:20:141:20:18

out of a crab with an enormous chopper. It was wonderful.

1:20:181:20:22

The trio of crab starter looked amazing.

1:20:221:20:25

It looked amazing.

1:20:251:20:27

Lovely colours, such elegance, sitting on a banana leaf.

1:20:271:20:30

The dessert, that chocolate with that orange

1:20:301:20:33

and that warmth through that orange cream was delicious.

1:20:331:20:36

-Why does Jodie give herself so much to do?

-Because that's her.

1:20:361:20:41

That's all about Jodie, isn't it?

1:20:411:20:43

Jodie has done that all the way through the competition.

1:20:431:20:46

I think the fact Jodie pushes herself that hard means

1:20:461:20:49

it's very, very difficult for her to deliver something perfect,

1:20:491:20:53

because she's got too much to do.

1:20:531:20:55

But today, you look at what she accomplished

1:20:551:20:57

and all those processes, that's amazing.

1:20:571:21:00

Sophie's food is very much like her.

1:21:021:21:06

It's original. It's individual.

1:21:061:21:09

It has a style. It's different.

1:21:091:21:12

Today, I was really concerned about Sophie's dishes.

1:21:121:21:16

Duck with juniper, port, mushrooms and sweetcorn.

1:21:161:21:20

But what a revelation. An absolute revelation.

1:21:201:21:23

I thought it was a beautiful, beautiful thing.

1:21:231:21:25

I loved, loved, loved Sophie's dessert.

1:21:251:21:28

It was fabulous!

1:21:281:21:31

Nobody designs dishes like Sophie.

1:21:311:21:35

Nobody I know successfully puts those flavour combinations

1:21:351:21:39

together like Sophie.

1:21:391:21:42

It's a little bit wacky in a very, very good way.

1:21:421:21:45

Even if I don't get my hands on that trophy,

1:21:561:21:59

at least I can walk away and say that they loved it.

1:21:591:22:03

That's all I can do. All I can do is do the best that I can.

1:22:031:22:06

I think I did.

1:22:061:22:08

And maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe that might be enough.

1:22:081:22:13

I think it's a really close call between me and Charley and Jodie.

1:22:181:22:23

That's what feels very chuffing about it.

1:22:231:22:28

If I was to get my hands on that trophy,

1:22:311:22:36

I'd be insufferable, I think.

1:22:361:22:38

Feeling exhausted but very proud of myself. And yeah...

1:22:431:22:49

Pff. Blown away, really.

1:22:501:22:52

It will be just unbelievable if I've done it.

1:22:531:22:57

But those guys out there are just awesome

1:22:571:23:00

so I think it's going to be pretty tough.

1:23:001:23:03

It's obvious to see what their strengths are.

1:23:031:23:06

Separating them is a completely different issue.

1:23:061:23:11

Who's it going to be?

1:23:111:23:13

CHARLEY SIGHS

1:23:231:23:26

It's been a wonderful competition.

1:23:301:23:33

That was an incredible final.

1:23:351:23:38

You have covered yourself and this competition in glory.

1:23:401:23:45

But we can only have one winner.

1:23:461:23:49

Our Celebrity MasterChef Champion is...

1:23:551:23:59

..Sophie.

1:24:201:24:23

CHARLEY: Well done. Well done. Brilliant!

1:24:281:24:31

Congratulations.

1:24:311:24:34

THEY LAUGH

1:24:341:24:36

Well done, well done.

1:24:381:24:40

Oh, no, don't go. Don't go. Don't go.

1:24:401:24:44

-CHARLEY: Sophie, we love you!

-Wow.

1:24:471:24:51

THEY LAUGH

1:24:531:24:55

I'm not going to lie, I'm a little disappointed.

1:24:551:24:59

I just had one grubby little left hand on that shiny trophy,

1:24:591:25:03

you know?

1:25:031:25:05

But I'm glad I was here, I'm glad I gave it a go.

1:25:051:25:09

It's been the most wonderful experience.

1:25:091:25:12

So thank you to MasterChef for letting me, you know, have a go.

1:25:121:25:17

Well done. Gosh, well done, Jodie. Well done.

1:25:181:25:22

A little bit of disappointment cos you've got this far.

1:25:221:25:25

But it's been such an amazing, crazy roller coaster.

1:25:251:25:29

Just learnt so much, had the most incredible time.

1:25:311:25:36

So I'm just really happy. Went to the best person.

1:25:371:25:42

I can't believe it, Adam and Eve it.

1:25:421:25:45

-Have a glass.

-Oh, my Lord!

-This is for you.

-No

-BLEEP!

1:25:471:25:52

THEY LAUGH

1:25:521:25:54

I can't.

1:25:541:25:56

-No.

-Brilliant.

-Aw!

-Brilliant.

1:25:561:25:59

Thank you guys so much.

1:25:591:26:02

It's just been the best fun. It's been amazing.

1:26:021:26:06

It's awesome. Honestly, it's just mad. It's M for mad.

1:26:061:26:12

The whole thing's been mad.

1:26:121:26:14

What I really love and admire about Sophie is that she creates

1:26:141:26:19

some absolute delights on the plate.

1:26:191:26:22

They look like little stories to me. They just look amazing.

1:26:241:26:28

She is original.

1:26:311:26:33

She is exciting.

1:26:341:26:36

She's daring.

1:26:361:26:37

I think Sophie is a force to be reckoned with.

1:26:391:26:42

It's ridiculous, winning something like this.

1:26:441:26:47

The trouble is, if you put it in your kitchen...

1:26:471:26:50

..you could be hoisted by your own petard, couldn't you?

1:26:511:26:55

It's like, oh, crikey,

1:26:551:26:56

if you serve up something a bit naff, which I will again...

1:26:561:27:00

It's unique to this experience.
