OHMYGOSSIP — Katie Price, Penny Lancaster, and Duncan James are among the stars who have signed up for this year’s ‘Celebrity MasterChef’.
Judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace will return to the BBC One show to give their verdict on the 20 celebrities’ dishes over six weeks, and the kitchen will have a bit of an Albert Square feel to it this year as three former ‘EastEnders’ stars have signed up to put their culinary skills to the test – Rita Simons, Michelle Collins and Joe Swash.
Former footballer Dion Dublin, ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ pro Johannes Radebe, former ‘Love Island’ winner Kem Cetinay, actor Su Pollard, TV presenter Melanie Sykes, and singer Megan McKenna are also among the hopefuls looking to take home the iconic Celebrity MasterChef trophy.
What’s more, Happy Mondays legend Bez, actor Melissa Johns, double-gold Paralympian Kadeena Cox, ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ finalist Nabil Abdulrashid, comedian Munya Chawawa, ‘Great British Sewing Bee’ judge Patrick Grant, and presenters Will Kirk and Gavin Esler complete the line-up.
Sarah Clay, Commissioning Editor for the BBC, said: “‘Celebrity MasterChef’ is one the highlights of the British summertime schedule and this series is as entertaining and charming as ever.
“The 20 brave celebrities are joined by a host of chefs at the top of their game in brand new tasks which makes this year feel extra special. The standard of cooking is like nothing we have seen before.”
Top British chefs Nisha Katona, Mitch Tonks, Sabrina Gidda, Alex Rushmer, Calum Franklin, Max Halley and the Michelin-starred Nieves Barragan-Mohacho and Tom Kerridge will appear as special guest judges throughout the series, which will feature new cookery challenges.
Katie Attwood, Series Editor, added: “This year’s line-up promises a huge amount of humour and entertainment.
“Lockdown has proved productive for our famous faces’ culinary skills and we are set to see some exceptional talent and astonishing dishes as the celebrities swap their day jobs for a spot in the MasterChef kitchen.”
