Episode 3

Eight celebrities cook up their ultimate breakfasts for Mary, Angela and Chris, and rustle up a dish with a mystery fruit before the weakest cooks face Angela’s dreaded eliminator.

The search for the first ever Celebrity Best ±«Óãtv Cook continues, as queen of home cooking Dame Mary Berry, Michelin-starred chef Angela Hartnett and fresh produce expert Chris Bavin put the remaining eight talented celebrity home cooks through their paces. On hand to playfully encourage the cooks is Claudia Winkleman.

Day One’s Ultimate is all about having friends to stay over, as Mary asks the celebrities to make their very best ultimate breakfast. The cooks must go all out to impress, and it's tortillas at dawn as two celebrities engage in a Mexican stand-off, but will the quesadilla or the breakfast burrito win the day? Meanwhile romance is in the air for one celebrity as he tries to seduce the judges with an edible crossword. At the end of this round, each judge picks their favourite dish, but will a judges' favourite be enough to save them from the dreaded Eliminator?

On Day Two, Chris picks an apple as the secret ingredient for his Rustle Up round, and the celebrities must think on their feet to produce a dish that will wow the judges. While some celebrities are excited to show off their crumbles, others are stumped at how to make apple the star of their dish… and disaster strikes when one cook fails to turn on their oven. At the end of the round, the judges must then decide, taking both the Ultimate and the Rustle Up into account, who is safe and who needs to prove themselves by cooking again in Angela’s Eliminator.

Tasked with following another of Angela’s recipes in the Eliminator round, the celebrities asked to cook again have one last chance to save themselves and stay in the competition. The challenge is judged blind, so at the end of the round, the judges must agree which dish is their least favourite without knowing who has cooked it. The celebrity who has cooked the worst dish must then leave the competition.

In a shock exit, eight celebrities become seven.
