BBC One - Celebrity Best Home Cook, Series 1, Episode 4

The cooking competition continues with ultimate TV dinners and a divisive Rustle Up.

Seven celebrities cook their ultimate TV dinner and rustle up a dish with frozen peas to impress judges Mary, Angela and Chris in a bid to avoid the dreaded Eliminator.

The hunt to find the first Celebrity Best Home Cook is heating up as the competition nears its halfway point. The celebrities will once again be donning their aprons and rolling up their sleeves to impress produce expert Chris Bavin, Michelin star chef Angela Hartnett and queen of home cooking Dame Mary Berry. All with the socially distanced support of Claudia Winkleman. 

The first challenge takes us away from the dining table and into the living room as Mary Berry challenges the cooks to make their ultimate burger and chips for a TV dinner. Some of the celebrities keep it classic, opting for a good quality beef burger, oozing with melted cheese, while the others are hoping a vegetarian option or a delicate fish burger will be enough for them to get a Judges' Favourite and a step closer to avoiding the dreaded Eliminator. 

Day two gets off to a frosty start, as Chris reveals frozen peas as the secret ingredient that the celebrities must make the star of the dish for his Rustle Up challenge. One cook is particularly dis’pea’sed with the ingredient, while the others are excited by an Asian-inspired larder. With everything from curry to scones, the judges have a difficult decision deciding who will go through to next week and who will be cooking again for safety in this week’s Eliminator challenge.  
 
Taking both challenges into consideration, the three judges decide who will be cooking again in this week's Eliminator following one of Angela’s toughest recipes to date. Judged blind, the tiniest of details can be the difference between survival and going home. Making a dough, deep frying and technical piping push the cooks to their limits and result in a shocking blind tasting by the three expert judges.
