Melanie brought her MasterChef apron, Martin brought a prize from rival game show House of Games and Hannah brought in a lion ovary that was "bursting with pride".
However, it was David's painting of Alex and Sue's photo of her mother that scored a joint 5 points. "Normally, people don't bring in good stuff," an impressed Greg said of David's painting.
Next, the contestants had to "don as many gloves as possible" in the laboratory. However, after quickly following the instruction, they were shocked to find that the real task was hidden behind an image.

The celebrities had to then hold sand-filled glasses and put all their gloves back in the box. They received a forfeit for every gram of sand they spilt. Hannah received five points, while Melanie only scored one.
