BBC One - Celebrity Best Home Cook, Series 1, Episode 5

The celebrities prepare Sunday roast, banana bread and a classic French dessert. 

The remaining celebrities must prepare their ultimate Sunday roast, banana bread and a classic French dessert. Only the best will secure quarter-final places.

The remaining celebrities have now reached the halfway point on their path to be crowned the first ever Celebrity Best Home Cook. Cheered on by Claudia Winkleman, they have another chance to impress the judges - Mary Berry, Angela Harnett and Chris Bavin - and secure themselves a place in the quarter-final. 

For the first challenge, Mary asks the cooks to produce their ultimate Sunday roast. One corner of the kitchen sees two cooks go head to head over who can make the best pork crackling, while another cook draws on his Morrocan heritage to transform his roast dinner into a much spicier affair. 

Chris's Rustle Up challenge requires the cooks to prepare banana bread, but a reduced pantry with no flour sends the cooks into disarray. 

Finally, Angela's eliminator round involves making a classic French dessert. It's a technical recipe that requires the cooks to make curd and a meringue against the clock, which might prove too much for some of them. 

After a blind tasting, the judges reveal who will be going home and missing out on a place in the quarter-final.
