The celebs have got another night off from cookingCelebrity MasterChef 2025’s second heat is underway and the budding celebrity chefs are back in the kitchen tonight – but what time does it start?
The cooking show is into a new week that will slowly see the new faces whittled down – including one tonight.
But who is in the Celebrity MasterChef kitchen tonight? And what time is it on BBC One? here’s what we know!
Celebrity MasterChef 2025: Who is on tonight?
There are five new celebrities hoping to impress Celebrity MasterChef judges John Torode and Grace Dent tonight.
Heading into the kitchen are; Love Island star-turned-horse racing pundit Chris Hughes and Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas. They are joined by author Dawn O’Porter, singers Michelle Heaton and Jaki Graham.
In tonight’s episode, the five stars will be presented with silver cloches. Underneath each one is a mystery ingredient, including pineapple and smoked haddock.
Using their surprise ingredient and items from the larder, they must whip up a dish and serve it to John and Grace. No pressure.
The next task is the famous palate taste test. Each celebrity will be blindfolded and they will have to use taste, touch and smell to identify meat, fish, fruit and veg.
In the final task of the night, Celebrity MasterChef is flinging open the doors to its imaginary street food market. Each of the five constants must serve up a street food dish that a customer would happily pay for.
The good news is, no one is going home tonight. Chris, Jamie, Dawn, Michelle and Jaki will make it through to the next show.
What happened in the last episode?
Thursday night’s episode of MasterChef was the first quarter-final of the 2025 series. It came following several heats between the first five celebrities from this year’s 15-strong line-up.
They were Paralympian Gaz Choudhry, Blue singer Antony Costa, RuPaul Drag Race’s Ginger Johnson, soap star Katie McGlynn and Love Island’s Uma Jammeh.
Gaz was first to be sent home on Tuesday night, after his Asian dishes fell flat with judges John Torode and Grace Dent. Last night, Uma was eliminated from Celebrity MasterChef.
The four quarter-finalists had to first work in pairs to create the same dish. But only one of them had the recipe and they couldn’t see what the other was doing. Both teams did well, but Uma made a fatal error in the next challenge.
Uma’s tuna tartar starter got the thumbs down because of its thickness. But it was her deconstructed lamb kebab that sealed her fate.
Uma cooked her meat perfectly and whipped up a lovely red pepper and feta slaw. But she completely forgot to serve her dish with flatbread. Oops! Grace and John sent Uma home.
What time is Celebrity MasterChef on tonight?
Celebrity MasterChef returns to BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 8pm tonight (Wednesday November 26, 2025). The show is on for one hour, with an end time of 9pm.
The final episode from this week will continue tomorrow (Thursday). By the end of the Thursday’s show, John and Grace will have picked their second batch of semi-finalists.
