To kick Celebrity MasterChef semi-finals off, the fearless eight are whisked off to the rural splendour of the South Downs National Park, home to the Butser Ancient Farm, a living museum that tells the story of ancient Britain.
70 volunteers will arrive to recreate the excitement of an Anglo-Saxon village, and it’s down to the celebrities to give them a lunch to remember. Working in two teams, in makeshift tents, they will need to come up with a team leader, a plan and a menu that represents the era to a tee. This feast must satisfy the heartiest appetites and give the villagers something to talk about.
Next, it’s back to the warmth of the MasterChef kitchen, where one more task awaits. John and Gregg want each of the celebrities to prepare one dish that celebrates an ingredient they don’t like. Can they overcome their food nemesis and deliver a tasty plate of food that puts the ingredient front and centre?
