After each cooking battle, the bottom two will need to prepare a dish without any help from their mentor.
The winner of the cook off will be decided by the judges by a blind taste test.
British Dishes is the theme of the very first episode, as the celebrities battle it out in the kitchen in a bid to save themselves from the first elimination.
