Celebrity MasterChef

A Recipe for Success

Back to Basics

Duration: 59 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One LondonLatest broadcast: on BBC Two Wales

This six-part special series celebrates 15 years of Celebrity MasterChef, during which time judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace have seen more than 300 celebrities compete in the kitchen.

In this episode, John and Gregg relive some of the best and worst food from the early rounds of the competition and look back at the celebrities’ first tastes of the MasterChef kitchen.

They also revisit two of their favourite challenges, both of which involved taking the celebrities out of their comfort zone. First, it’s back to 2012 when finalists footballer Danny Mills, writer and comedian Emma Kennedy and TV presenter Michael Underwood were sent to cater for over 100 cast and crew on the set of BBC drama New Tricks, using just the basic facilities of a catering truck. Then they reminisce about Atomic Kitten’s Liz McClarnon, actor Mark Moraghan and TV presenter Andi Peters cooking breakfast for 120 cadets in a basic army field kitchen at Sandhurst in 2008.

Sharpen the knives, light the stoves – it’s 15 years of Celebrity MasterChef. Show less
