Elimination Challenge: Bacon and Eggs – Gordon Ramsay set the first elimination challenge of the season via a live stream. In the first round, the contestants had 60 minutes to cook a dish using eggs. Nick impressed the judges with his dippy eggs, which were perfectly cooked, and was named as the best dish. Chrissie, Dilruk and Ian were sent to the second round where they had 60 minutes to cook another dish using bacon.
