For the signature, the contestants must make their very own delicious garlic bread. This week’s technical promises to be dramatic and has been described by Radio Times as “one of the most disastrous technicals in the show's history”. Ominous.

As for the showstopper, there must be not just a feast for the tastebuds but also for the eyes with a stunning bread display.
