Portrait Artist Of The Year

In the first heat, a new crop of artists look to make a strong impression with the judges by making a portrait of one of three familiar faces, featuring Richard Curtis, Emma Freud, and Fleur East.

In this second heat of the art competition, the nine artists find themselves navigating the challenge of creating a portrait of either Jay Rayner, Nihal Arthanayake, or Susanna Reid.

The competition rolls on as the artists are challenged with creating portraits of three new celebrity guests, as they capture the likeness of sitters Rory Stewart, Ainsley Harriott, and Rob Delaney.

Guests Sue Barker, Alan Titchmarsh, and Philippa Perry strike a pose as this week's sitters as the painters put their artistic flair to the test to immortalise the three famous faces on canvas.

The artists find themselves tasked with producing another set of portraits to catch the eye of the judges as they welcome Nigel Havers, Mishal Husain, and Vanessa Kingori to the sitter's chair.

A set of new celebrities enter the fore as the painters show their artistic talent by bringing to life their respective visions of sitters Josh Widdicombe, Nicky Spence, and Shirley Ballas.
