On Tuesday, (August 24) five new celebrities took on the Celebrity MasterChef challenge in heat three. Previous heats have seen comedian Kae Kurd and Nancy Dell'Oilio leave the competition and Cliff Parisi and Mel Blatt gain a place in the semi-final.
Competing to make it through were actors Clarke Peters and Lesley Joseph, former professional footballer Jimmy Bullard, TV presenter Kirsty Gallacher, and actor-comedian Richard Blackwood enter the kitchen.

The final challenge was to create their own dinner party choice. Richard's was Caribbean lamb chops with honey-roast potatoes and parsnips; Jimmy's the sea bass with pea-mint puree risotto; Lesley a Tarte Tatin; Kirsty a Thai-green chicken curry; and Clarke's vegetable lasagne bake.
