Celebrity MasterChef Odds: Alfie Boe In Contention After Quarter-Final Heroics
Celebrity MasterChef 2025 has reached the semi-final stage, but only nine of the initial 15 contestants have made it through.
Gladiator Jodie Ounsley - aka Fury - was 13/8 on betting sites to exit first in Week Three, and the star sadly lived up to her price.
Noreen Khan followed Jodie out of the door in Thursday night's episode, meaning retired rugby player Alun Wyn Jones, TV star Ashley Cain and singer Alfie Boe were the last three stars to progress into this year's Celebrity MasterChef semi-finals.
Jodie admitted it was "terrifying" being in the Celebrity MasterChef kitchen, but she enjoyed her time in the competition.
Judges John Torode and Grace Dent applauded Noreen for making courgette ravioli in the quarter-final - but it didn't do enough for them.
Alfie Is No Whisky Fool
But the two judges were impressed with Alfie's culinary exploits.
The national treasure is now 7/4 on entertainment betting sites to triumph in the series after he was John and Grace's first Week Three pick to advance to both the quarter-final and semis.
In Thursday night's episode, John said his tuna salad main course flavour was "fantastic", and Grace admitted Boe "knocked it out of the park".
Alfie also did the business with his whisky cream fool with biscuits, which were described as "shortbread sensations" by Grace.
The dining room guest judges picked Alfie as their Chef of the Day, and he now wants to see if he can push himself "ever harder" in a bid to land the title.
But he faces strong competition.
Dawn O'Porter heads into this year's semi-finals as 6/4 favourite to be crowned Celebrity MasterChef champion.
Celebrity MasterChef Outright Odds:
Celebrity | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
Dawn O'Porter | 6/4 | 40% |
Ginger Johnson | 13/8 | 38.1% |
Alfie Boe | 7/4 | 36.4% |
Jamie Lomas | 15/8 | 34.8% |
Alun Wyn Jones | 2/1 | 33.3% |
Antony Costa | 9/4 | 30.8% |
Ashley Cain | 5/2 | 28.6% |
Katie McGlynn | 3/1 | 25% |
Chris Hughes | 4/1 | 20% |
She thoroughly impressed judges John and Grace with her Week Two efforts.
Despite nearly coming unstuck in the final challenge, when she was almost in tears when cooking her "posh pork roast", Grace admitted it was "bang on".
Drag queen Ginger Johnson was the star of the Week One heats, and they are a 13/8 shot for the Celebrity MasterChef title.
Safe Hands Alun Wyn
In Week Three, John and Grace picked former Wales rugby union captain Alun Wyn as their Cook of the Day in the quarter-final, meaning he was straight through to the semis, and he was "pleased" to make it into the next stage.
Alun Wyn is now 2/1 on betting apps to win this year's Celebrity MasterChef, just behind Hollyoaks actor Jamie Lomas (15/8).
Week Three star Ashley isn't too far behind at 5/2, after admitting he pushed himself in the quarters.
Hughes To Fall At The First?
Former Love Island star and racing pundit Chris Hughes is 13/8 favourite to fall at the first hurdle in the semi-finals.
The reality TV star surprised himself by progressing to the semis, admitting it was "pretty exhilarating" to be in the latter stage of the competition.
While Chris confessed he is not a "natural" cook, it wouldn't be a huge shock if he did well again.
Celebrity MasterChef Odds: Next Elimination
Celebrity | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
Chris Hughes | 13/8 | 38.1% |
Katie McGlynn | 15/8 | 34.8% |
Ashley Cain | 2/1 | 33.3% |
Antony Costa | 5/2 | 28.6% |
Alun Wyn Jones | 3/1 | 25% |
Jamie Lomas | 10/3 | 23.1% |
Alfie Boe | 7/2 | 22.2% |
Ginger Johnson | 4/1 | 20% |
Dawn O'Porter | 5/1 | 16.7% |
If Chris does avoid the first exit, then Katie McGlynn may be on the chopping block.
The former Coronation Street star was "in shock" upon hearing she had progressed to the semis, but she was "overjoyed" to reach the next stage of the cooking competition.
However, she is 15/8 to be eliminated first in the semis, followed by Ashley (2/1) and singer Antony (5/2).
