After the dust settled on the dishes, John and Gregg decided to se nd Locksmith home, meaning Wynne and Jamelia progressed to the semi-finals.
"There's a hint of disappointment because there were certain things I know I could have done slightly better," said Locksmith following his exit. "I just couldn't unlock this door – no pun intended."
Singer Jamelia, who plays Sharon Bailey on Hollyoaks, said she was in "disbelief" at her progress, whilst opera singer Wynne admitted that reaching the semi-finals was "beyond [his] dreams."
The successful pair will join Marcus Brigstocke, Mica Ven, Max George and Shazia Mirza in the next round, with the group being joined by two more celebrities from the final heat.

The line-up for the last heat comprises Emmerdale star Amy Walsh, singer apl.de.ap, Strictly Come Dancing professional Dianne Buswell, Love Island runner-up Luca Bish and Robin of Sherwood's Michael Praed.
Previous eliminated contestants on the series included Dani Dyer, James Buckley, Remi Burgz and Richie Anderson, with the latter comparing his experience to his stint on Strictly Come Dancing.
"I think that Strictly Come Dancing is a pussycat compared to Celebrity MasterChef," he said. "I never thought I'd say t hat, but on Strictly you've got your professional partner who's there to hold your hand – if anything goes wrong you can turn to them.
"On MasterChef, it is just you, your pinny and a prayer. When you make that walk with your dish to John and Gregg, you're shaking. You put it down in front of them, and they taste your food and there's just silence in the kitchen, and they're making their faces," he added.
Celebrity MasterChef airs on BBC One.
