It's final week on Celebrity MasterChef and the contestants must take their food above and beyond as at the end of the week judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace will crown one of them champion. The celebrity finalists face two challenges that test their creativity and precision. Firstly they must master the art of the afternoon tea at Number One Aldwych, home to some of the capital's most highly crafted patisserie and renowned for its modern take on this most British of institutions. The celebrities each have to reproduce one sweet and one savoury item, delivering beautiful and tasty treats for the tea. The diners who will be enjoying the delights are a group of Pearly Kings and Queens, members of the London charitable tradition devoted to raising money for the capital's charities. The celebrities will have to produce excellence under pressure if they are to meet the standard expected. The celebs then return to the MasterChef kitchen to showcase their personal style and flair with pastry. They must produce two tarts and ice cream from scratch from a range of ingredients including fruit and berries, nuts, wines and liqueurs. They must impress John and Gregg with their own take on a classic dessert, as at the end one finalist must leave the competition for good.
