Celebrity MasterChef 2023: finalists revealed including Amy Walsh and how to watch Celebrity MasterChef final

Celebrity MasterChef UK final is almost here, with three celebs battling it out for the chance to win the trophy and impress judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace.

20 contestants have been whittled down to just three, with the final challenge seeing them cook and prepare a three-course meal in just two hours time. On Wednesday (6 September), The Wanted’s Max George was the last celeb to get the chop, leaving Amy Walsh, Luca Bish, and Wynne Evans going into the grand final.

Unlike the traditional format, George’s elimination came half-way through the episode. Following him leaving, the rest of the show was dedicated to putting the finalists through their paces before the final competition.

So, who are the Celebrity MasterChef UK finalists and when can you watch the final? Here’s everything you need to know.

Who are the Celebrity MasterChef finalists?

The series began with 20 celebrities battling it out for the chance to win the title of Celebrity MasterChef Champion 2023. The competition has whittled it down to three lucky hopefuls who have made it through to tonight’s final, with just one challenge left between them and the grand prize.

Here are the MasterChef UK finalists:

Amy Walsh

Emmerdale actor Amy Walsh is through to the final following her impressive performance in final week. Walsh is the younger sister of Girls Aloud singer Kimberly Walsh and began her TV acting career in 2011 when she starred in the Hollyoaks spin-off Hollyoaks Later. In 2014 she joined the cast of Emmerdale as Tracy Metcalfe.

Describing what it felt like to make it through to the final, Walsh said: “I really, really just wanted to get past the first round and then anything after that, I didn’t mind. But then the closer I got to the final, it made me think – I need to get there now. I never believed I’d be able to win it, but I thought it would be amazing to make it to the final and then, it happened.”

Luca Bish

Love Island star Luca Bish has made it through to the final. The reality TV star who appeared in the villa last summer is no stranger to the kitchen having previously worked as a fishmonger. When asked how it feels to have made it into the final three, Bish said: “Oh no! My goal was always just getting through the first day! Anything past day one and I would have been absolutely buzzing, it was just surreal after that.”

Wynne Evans

Wynne Evans has one of the most well-known voices in the UK. Since 2009 the Welsh opera singer has been the voice on the Go Compare adverts. Throughout the competition he has impressed the judges with his dishes, including his recent Cardif Curry which paid homage to Wales.

When asked if he ever thought he’d make it into the top three, Evans said: “No, because I didn’t know what the competition was going be like on day one. So, all I wanted to do was not be first out, that was my main thing. Then as the series went on, I suppose the camaraderie took over really. Of course you think ahead, but you don’t want to plan too far ahead because you don’t want to jinx yourself.”

Celebrity MasterChef UK final will be available to watch on BBC One tonight at 9pm. Episodes will also be available to stream on BBC iPlayer once they have aired on BBC.
