Celebrity MasterChef is back for its 18th series, with 20 familiar faces from the world of drama, show business and music all hoping to take the 2023 title.

The first test is the Pairs Challenge. Split into two pairs, the celebrities are tasked with cooking a crowd-pleasing dish which must be identical in both appearance and flavour. However, only one team member has the basic instructions of how to cook the dish and needs to communicate with their teammate to get the job done.

Next, the four hopefuls need to take on all the lessons they have learned about teamwork and communication, as for the first time in three years, it's out of the frying pan and into the fire of a professional kitchen during a busy lunchtime service.

Their next test is the brand new Food Truck Challenge. The MasterChef kitchen transforms into a street food market, and the celebrities must cook a dish that they would serve from their own dream food truck. With just one hour to cook and only three quarter-final places up for grabs, the celebrities must show their grit to stay in the competition. Show less
