As the pressure mounts, the seven remaining chefs must use their creativity to the fullest in two rounds of competition.
Ainsley oversaw seven chefs in the first challenge, with Dominic competing alongside Vito Coppola, Craig Doyle, Ian ‘H’ Watkins, Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, Rochenda Sandall and Tamer Hassan.
Whoever succeeds in impressing Ainsley and the judges, John Torode and Greg Wallace will be the Chef of the Day and advance directly to the next round.
Craig’s twist on the Ainslie steamed bun, adding tofu, hoisin sauce and Asian slaw – “absolutely brilliant”, as John puts it – earned the Irish TV presenter the title of Chef of the Day.
The other six chefs then have to make their own dough, using their individual pizza memories to create the perfect flavor combination.
While some expected Vito’s Italian heritage to give him an advantage, he admitted it was his first time using a wood-fired oven and felt the pressure of getting the dough right.
this strict The professional dancers chose a classic Southern Italian white pizza with mozzarella, sausage and friarielli (a type of broccoli served with peppers) and a ricotta-filled pizza base, which won over Greg and John, who “fell in love” with the evenly cooked, thin crust.

Tamer is a fusion of Turkish and Italian traditions, with a classic base of mozzarella and burrata cheese, topped with spicy ground Turkish beef and tossed in honey chili oil.
Judges also praised Rochenda’s delicate dough, pear and pistachio pesto, blue cheese, caramelized onions and walnuts.
Meanwhile, Harry, H, and Dominic all have problems making their pizza dough, leaving John and Greg with a tough decision to make.
Ultimately, Dominic had to withdraw from the competition because his bechamel sauce caused the pizza dough to not bake properly midway through. After being eliminated, he said his experience on Celebrity MasterChef would help him be more creative in the kitchen and maybe even let his makeup skills shine.
