Cooking With The Stars Odds: Who Will Win The Golden Pan Trophy On Sunday?

Cooking With The Stars is gearing up for its final showdown of 2025, but former Premier League footballer Shaun Wright-Phillips won't be lifting the Golden Frying Pan trophy aloft on Sunday night. 

The former England winger, who was 13/8 on betting sites to go home next, was booted out of the kitchen last weekend after he was defeated by EastEnders legend Natalie Cassidy in a crepe cook-off.

While the former Sonia Fowler actress only just progressed to Sunday's finale, media personality Jack Osbourne thrashed Shaun in the first heat of the semi-final. 

The Wizard

Jack - son of late Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne - has proved a wizard in the Cooking With The Stars kitchen, and he heads into the final as odds-on favourite to claim victory. 

The celebrities were required to cook nutritious and delicious dishes in the semi-final as part of Healthy Eating Week. 

Jack's winning meal was poached trout and spring onion mash. 

Shaun went for Persian-inspired chicken skewers and rice, but he had issues early on when he put his chicken on late. 

Despite that potential own goal, Shaun managed to recover the situation, and said flipping his rice over was "just as satisfying as scoring against Man United".

However, his satisfaction turned to heartache as the judges heaped praise on Jack's dish. 

April Jackson said his fish was "perfectly cooked", and the so-called "Potato Queen" Poppy O'Toole praised his mash as "10 out of 10". 

Shaun was told his chicken was "cooked perfectly", despite his concerns, but Jack romped into the final with a 4-1 victory over Shaun.

Following his Man of the Match performance, Jack is now 8/11 favourite on betting apps, from 11/10, to win this year's Cooking With The Stars.

Hoppen Hoping For Final Flourish 

Kelly Hoppen became the second celebrity confirmed for this year's final, and she is now 6/4 second favourite - from 11/4 - following her semi-final exploits. 

She clinched her place in Sunday's showpiece thanks to a sumptuous seabass fillet with scallop and crab mousse. 

The interior designer felt like a fish out of water plating up her dish for seafood cookery expert Jack Stein, but she didn't need to worry. 

Jack - who is Chef Director of the Rick Stein group - described her plate as an "incredible piece of food", and admitted he would have sent it out to customers in his own restaurant. 

Fellow pro chef Elliott Grover said Kelly's fish was "perfectly cooked".

While Shelina Permalloo wanted more texture in Hoppen's pesto, Kelly went through to the final following a 3-1 vote victory from the judges.

That meant Natalie was sent into the cook-off alongside Shaun. 

Nat Going Home Yet 

Natalie suffered a blow during her match-up against Kelly, because her pro chef mentor Tony Singh was feeling unwell during the episode, so April had to stand in for him. 

Days before, during Natalie and Tony's practice, they burnt the pasta in their fideua, a version of paella which uses fideos pasta. 

As a result, Tony switched the pasta to macaroni, but Natalie was cooking it that way for the first time in the semi-final against Kelly. 

While she managed to avoid a burnt pasta bottom in the heat, she still had to get through the cook-off against Shaun. 

The pair were tasked with making a sugar-free vegan-layered crepe cake with coconut cream. 

Shaun had not made a pancake batter before, and he forgot to put his coconut cream in the fridge to cool - meaning it melted on his finished dish. 

All was not lost for the ex-footballer, because Natalie said some of her crepes were raw.

But, after the chefs voted, the shocked soap star was announced as the third finalist. 

Natalie has drifted to 2/1, from 5/4, to win this year's competition, but she could be value for victory.
