The stars who will take part in Celebrity MasterChef 2024’s Finals Week have been revealed, as one last contestant was sent home during the semi-finals.
The last semi-final episode featured Strictly’s Vito Coppola, Football Factory actor Tamer Hassan, Line of Duty’s Rochenda Sandall, Gladiator Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, Ian ‘H’ Watkins from Steps and TV host Craig Doyle.
But not all of them made it through.

The stars were required to deliver food that impressed not only John and Gregg, but guest judge Grace Dent.
Rochenda’s Korean fried chicken went down well, but while Tamer’s sea bass was tasty, his side dishes weren’t as popular with the judges.
H and Craig also got some criticism, but Harry’s chocolate fondant was a winner.
At the end of it all, it was actor Tamer who was given his marching orders.
He said: “Going home today is bittersweet because I’ve had such a good time. But I was an inch away from hitting the finals week, which is great, it’s brilliant, it’s amazing, what an achievement.”
Strictly dancer Vito said: “I could never believe that Vito and Finals Week are in the same sentence.”
Craig sighed: “I cannot believe how emotional and stressful it is. But what a day! What a day!”
Rochenda said: “I got to the final mum… cos my mum doesn’t think I can cook!”
H admitted: “I thought I was a gonner today.”
Celebrity MasterChef continues on Tuesday 17th September at 8pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
