The final five famous faces enter the Celebrity MasterChef kitchen this week to flex their culinary prowess for judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace.
The first test will be Under The Cloche, requiring the contestants to employ their creativity and use a mystery ingredient to come up with an impressive dish in just an hour.
Next up is the Dinner Party challenge, which gives them an hour and 15 minutes to prepare their best main and dessert for someone coming over to eat.
Scroll on to meet this week's celeb contestants!

Amy Walsh
Age: 36
Occupation: Emmerdale star
Why do the show?: "I am a massive fan of all of the shows. It was always total pipe dream to one day do it and then it came up. I thought... be careful what you wish for! This is the most petrifying thing I've ever done. But mainly I love cooking and I'm obsessed with food. I want to learn and push myself out of my comfort zone, which I am, massively. I've recently had a baby so I've just been mum for the last year and I wanted to do something for me."
Favourite dish to cook: "If I've got time, I love to do a slow roast leg of lamb or pork. One of my favourites is Beef Wellington. I've made it a few times. It's really risky and you don't want to do it under pressure, but when it works, it's great."
Favourite dish to eat: "It's really tricky but I'd probably have lobster with chips, garlic mayo and a bit of salad. Also a dry, crisp, cold glass of rosé!"

Apl.De.Ap
Age: 48
Occupation: Black Eyed Peas rapper
Why do the show?: "I love cooking and I wanted to broaden my horizons and my palate. I wanted to test myself to cook under pressure. I like a good challenge and I also like to learn new things. Plus I'm here for some friendly competition."
Favourite dish to cook: "I like to cook Chicken Adobo. It's Filipino comfort food with a soy sauce and vinegar base. It's very tasty with a lot of flavour."
Favourite dish to eat: "A Filipino dessert called Halo-Halo, which means mix mix. It's shaved ice and a bunch of fruits and condensed milk and sugar all mixed together. So it would be a refreshing dessert for the desert."

Dianne Buswell
Age: 34
Occupation: Strictly Come Dancing professional
Why do the show?: "I love cooking but I wanted to get better at it. My family are all very good cooks and I want to go home and say to my mum 'I think I'm a better cook than my brothers now!' That is the aim of the game."
Favourite dish to cook: "I love cooking pasta. I don't love pasta that much myself, but I like making the sauces. I love when people eat my food so if I'm cooking for someone, they generally have pasta."
Favourite dish to eat: "My mum makes this dish called Tuna Mornay. It sounds awful but it's so good. It's been my favourite thing to eat ever since I was seven years old. It's like a curry but with tuna and rice and it's all combined and there's cornflakes on it and everything, so good."

Luca Bish
Age: 24
Occupation: Love Island contestant/Fishmonger
Why do the show?: "I wanted to save some money. I keep ordering takeaways! I really want to learn how to cook. I'm 24 now so I want to be a bit more independent and I love the reaction you get when you cook a good plate of food for someone."
Favourite dish to cook: "Poached eggs, if that counts as a dish."
Favourite dish to eat: "A carbonara with a cheesy garlic bread and tomatoes. Then I'd have to have toffee or honeycomb ice cream for dessert."

Michael Praed
Age: 63
Occupation: Actor
Why do the show?: "I got a phone call from my agent proposing the idea and I thought, why not? This is a reality show that is actually affirmative. They're not there to rip you to pieces. Plus, it's a competition and I like competitions. The other joy for me was that Amy Walsh, who I worked with on Emmerdale, is here. I couldn't believe it. So that has been such a delight."
Favourite dish to cook: "Coq au Vin, or maybe a chicken casserole. I've got a great recipe for chicken casserole."
Favourite dish to eat: "If I could only ever have one type of food, it would have to be a curry. I love Indian food. I'm a great fan of a Chicken Dhansak with chapatis and probably a vegetable curry on the side."
Celebrity MasterChef continues Tuesday at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
