LOUISE Minchin, Alexis Conran and Jimmy Osmond will go head-to-head in the kitchen tonight as they battle it out for the Celebrity Masterchef crown.

The BBC Breakfast host, the actor and the former pop star made it through to the final stages last night after former EastEnders star Sid Owen was eliminated.

The remaining three celebrities will tonight take part in the Chef's Table challenge, which will be hosted by Michelin star chef Atul Kochhar at Benares restaurant in London’s Mayfair.

As part of the challenge, they will have to impress some of the UK's top chefs with their dishes, including Cyrus Todiwala, Alyn Williams and Ed Baines.

And then, their final task will see them cook a three-course meal for hosts John Torode and Gregg Wallace who will then choose their champion.

However, viewers may already be aware who has claimed the title after a BBC presenter appeared to give the result away during a segment on BBC Breakfast earlier this month.

Presenting from the Wimbledon Kitchen, Ore Oduba said: “What we need here really is Louise Minchin, the MasterChef champion”.

And viewers immediately took to Twitter to slam his faux-pas with one writing: “Thanks Ore. Now we know who wins celebrity #masterchef @BBCBreakfast whoops!”

Last night, Sid Owen, who is best known for his role as Ricky Butcher in EastEnders, was voted off the show after he failed to impress Torode and Wallace, as well as guest judges Grace Dent, Toby Young, Richard Vines and Joe Warwick.

Owen's gazpacho soup starter was not well-received, with Dent commenting "there's no place in civilised society for cold soup".

But Owen said he was "proud" to have made it that far and added: “I've got to take my hat off to the other three, they're really good cooks."

He also came under fire earlier in the series when viewers slammed him for having an unfair advantage after they discovered he owned his own restaurant and has had a cookbook published.

The Celebrity Masterchef final airs on tonight on BBC One at 8.30pm.
