The final four celebrities enter the tent; who out of TV and radio presenter Anneka Rice, comedian John Bishop, former Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle and presenter Ade Adepitan will impress Prue and Paul enough to win the last coveted apron?

Best box set to watch on TV tonight
Bates Motel, seasons one to five, BBC iPlayer
The Good Doctor’s Freddie Highmore found US TV fame playing the young Norman Bates in this contemporary prequel to 1960’s Psycho. It explores the dark, twisted relationship between the teenager and his mother, Norma (Vera Farmiga).
Best film to watch on TV tonight
Deep Impact, 6.45pm, Film4
The special effects play second fiddle to the human drama in this excellent apocalyptic disaster movie about a comet that is on a collision course with Earth – indeed, the real action only materialises later on in the movie. Morgan Freeman, as the US President, anchors an appealing cast that includes Elijah Wood, Téa Leoni, Robert Duvall and Vanessa Redgrave. The film is full of gut-wrenching moments of heroism and sacrifice.
