Episode 1

BBC One - Celebrity MasterChef, Series 15, Episode 1

Featuring Myles Stephenson, Thomas Skinner, Judi Love, John Barnes and Shyko Amos.

The first heats feature singer Myles Stephenson, Apprentice star Thomas Skinner, comedian Judi Love, footballer John Barnes and Death In Paradise actor Shyko Amos.

John Torode and Gregg Wallace return to discover which celebrities have the palate and skill to chop, slice and sizzle their way to the iconic Celebrity MasterChef trophy. 

The first five celebrities to compete in the 2020 heats are recording artist Myles Stephenson, Apprentice star and entrepreneur Thomas Skinner, comedian Judi Love, football legend John Barnes and Death In Paradise actor Shyko Amos.

After an individual challenge to devise and cook one dish to show the judges their potential, the five celebrities are split into two groups to take on the challenge of cooking for the first time in a restaurant kitchen for paying customers. John, Myles and Judi head to Allegra to serve up modern British dishes, while Thomas and Shyko are sent to Yeni, which showcases Turkish cuisine.  

Then in the final test of culinary creativity, it’s back to the MasterChef kitchen as the contestants are asked to prepare a dish of their own design in just one hour. The celebrities work furiously in a last attempt to prove themselves to the judges, because at the end of this test one of them will be going home. 

Who can handle the pressure and show the judges they have the skills, creativity and flair to progress further in the competition?
