Semi-finals week kicked off on September 6 last Tuesday with the celebrities pulling out all the stops to impress Gregg Wallace and John Torode.

Unfortunately, ‘Birds of a Feather’ actress Lesley Joseph didn’t do enough to ‘steak’ a claim in the next round and became the latest contestant to be eliminated from the show.

Tonight’s first episode will see the seven celebrities including Kitty-Scott-Claus and Jimmy Bullard battle it out with one person at risk of leaving the competition.

The second episode will then see the remaining six celebrities cook just one dish to the brief “comfort food-for-one" delivered by top restaurant critic Grace Dent. The episode will see one more person leave the competition ahead of Finals Week.
