This week, the 17th season of Celebrity MasterChef was put on hold as the nation observed Queen Elizabeth II's passing. The show has already had to take a break because of a royal demise. Due to the passing of Prince Philip in April of last year, the MasterChef 2021 championship was postponed.

The program airs on BBC One, a crucial television network that provides round-the-clock news coverage and ancillary documentaries in the case of a state death.

What time will Celebrity MasterChef return?

At 8.30 p.m. and 9.30 p.m. On Thursday, September 15, two episodes of the show will run back-to-back. The seven celebrity competitors will be back on television tonight for a pre-recorded semifinal heat where they will be required to make a dish in honor of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. Mary Berry, a legendary chef, will surprise the competitors and judge their renditions of her recipe.

Normally, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays are when Celebrity MasterChef airs, but this week, it will be on Thursday and Friday. The 2022 celebrity winner will now be announced the following week as opposed to on Friday as originally planned because of the delay.
