Cookery competition. The beginning of the third heat week sees five more celebrities take on three culinary challenges to get through to the next round.

The beginning of the third heat week sees five more celebrities enter the MasterChef kitchen, undertaking three tough culinary challenges in a bid to prove themselves to judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace. Trying to impress are former Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt, actor Craig Gazey, TV presenters Andy Akinwolere and Rylan Clark and choreographer Arlene Phillips.

The first challenge for the five hopefuls is the invention test, the infamous test of imagination and creativity. They must use the given ingredients, including calves' liver, mackerel, blackberries and ginger biscuits, as well as a larder, to create just one dish - sweet or savoury. With nerves running high and just 50 minutes to create something from scratch, the celebrities must think on their feet to impress the judges.

The celebrities are then split into two groups to take on the challenge of cooking for the first time in a restaurant kitchen, preparing dishes for paying customers.

Arlene, Andy and Rylan are sent to Massimo, a contemporary Italian restaurant, and are thrown into the deep end as they struggle to cope with an unfamiliar kitchen and a busy service. Kimberly and Craig are sent to Sea Containers, where they fight to master the cooking of their dishes while keeping on top of customer orders.

For the final test of culinary creativity, it's back to the MasterChef headquarters as the contestants are asked to prepare a two-course menu of their own design. 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.
