After six weeks of toughing it out there are just three determined celebrities remaining with a shot at taking the Celebrity MasterChef title: TV and Radio Presenter, Craig Doyle; Actor, Rochenda Sandall and Professional Dancer and former Strictly star Vito Coppola. Everything they have worked for will come down to their ability to dazzle the judges with their Ultimate Dinner Party Menu. Two courses, a main and dessert, that deliver on every front, including creativity, technique, taste and presentation.
Below they speak about their highs and lows in the famous kitchen...
CRAIG DOYLE * What has been the highest point of the series for you, so far? Craig: “The first time I walked into the iconic kitchen, it was like stepping into the television - loved it. Then cooking a meal from my memories of me Dad, liver and onions. I didn’t care if the lads liked it or not, I was just so happy to do something to remember my Dad who loved cooking and would have been so proud of me cooking on the show.
” * How does it feel to be in the Final Three? Did you expect to make it this far when you started out? Craig: “I didn't dare think about making the Finals, but that darn kitchen is addictive. You just want more and more - so making it to the end is just amazing. To be honest I’ve forgotten what life was life before MasterChef.
It’s like - this is what I do now - I cook for a bald guy and an Aussie chap!” * What has been the biggest challenge throughout your time in the kitchen?.
