| 3 | Sunday, 17 October 2021 | 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. During the last 30 seconds, Dilruk played his immunity pin so his dish wasn't tasted by the judges. Chrissie's quiche lorraine had raw pastry on the bottom and, as a result, she was the first contestant eliminated from the competition. | 561,000 | 7 | [8] |

The Pink team, led by Ian, won against the Red team, led by Nick, despite the chaos that ensued among them as Red team's fish was overcooked and their coconut rice texture was not right. In the second round, Nick, Dilruk, Dami and Matt from the losing Red team had to cook a sweet dish in 60 minutes. Nick, Matt and Dilruk impressed the judges with their desserts and were declared safe.
