The three talented chefs from north west England are halfway through their heat, and the pressure is mounting. Once again, they each serve a unique take on the brief celebrating great Britons of the past for a banquet at historic Blenheim Palace.

The dishes are judged by veteran judge Paul Ainsworth and include a surprise main of three of Cilla Black's favourite things, liver, bacon and cabbage, a suffragette rosette for Emmeline Pankhurst using a black garlic and tofu ragu, and a strawberry edible garden dedicated to Liverpool's Strawberry Fields and John Lennon. But who will be leaving the competition?
