The BBC has confirmed when fans can expect the current season of Celebrity MasterChef to come to a close - and it's later this month.
Celebrity MasterChef: The Final 2026 will land on our screens on Friday 18 September at 8pm on BBC One, with episodes leading up to it at 9pm on Tuesday 15 September and Wednesday 16 September.
The 21st season launched onto our screens last month, welcoming a star-studded line-up of famous faces from the worlds of music, drama, comedy, sport and showbiz.
The latest episode of the cooking competition saw Shakira Khan, Emily Campbell and Joe Pasquale secure their places in the semi-finals, while Jason Mohammad was given the boot.
This year's Celebrity MasterChef has seen judging duties lie with a brand-new duo, with returning judge Grace Dent joined by renowned chef Giorgio Locatelli.
Upon the announcement that he'd be joining the series, Locatelli said: "Hosting Celebrity MasterChef alongside Grace is a real honour. I can’t wait for you to see what our celebrity contestants bring to the kitchen, as we are really putting their culinary skills to the test in this series."

Dent, who hosts the regular version of the programme alongside Anna Haugh, added: "Giorgio Locatelli is a fabulous addition to our UK Celebrity MasterChef team. I'm a long-time admirer of his work and was a huge fan of Locanda Locatelli; for many years, it was one of my happy places to eat."
She continued: "I couldn't be happier to combine our shared joy, passion, and expertise for food. I also love an opportunity to serve up a heavy dose of glamour in the MasterChef kitchen, and I have a feeling Giorgio is going to give me a real run for my money."
Celebrity MasterChef: The Final 2026 will air on Friday 18 September at 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
