What time is the Celebrity Best Home Cook final? Host, judges, contestants and more
Ten celebrities aim to impress Mary Berry, Angela Hartnett and Chris Bavin with their ultimate dishes.
Back in January, Best Celebrity Home Cook welcomed ten celebrities into the kitchen to cook their ultimate home-cooked dinner in a bid to win over judges Dame Mary Berry, Angela Hartnett and Chris Bavin.
Each week, the series, which follows the same format as original cookery competition Best Home Cook, pits the cooks against each other in themed challenges resulting in a new celeb leaving at the end.
With the line-up now down to just three celebs - former MP Ed Balls, reality TV star Tom Read Wilson, and journalist Rachel Johnson - the competition is on for the Celebrity Best Home Cook final.
So, who will be crowned this year's winner? Here's everything you need to know.
When is Celebrity Best Home Cook on?
The Celebrity Best Home Cook final will air on Wednesday, February 17th at 9pm on BBC One.
Previous episodes are now available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
How does Celebrity Best Home Cook work?
Each week, the celebs showcase their best dish for the judges, before facing Chris's Rustle Up challenge, where the cooks have just one hour to create a dish from a surprise ingredient.
The judges then decide, based on their performance in both rounds, who is safe and who needs to prove themselves by cooking again in the Eliminator.
In the Eliminator round, the selected cooks then have to impress with one of Angela's recipes to avoid being sent home.
Who is the host?
The Celebrity Best Home Cook competition is presented by Strictly Come Dancing’s very own Claudia Winkleman.
Who is the judge?
Dame Mary Berry is joined on the Best Home Cook judging panel by Chris Bavin and Angela Hartnett.
