John Barnes

Football legend, John Barnes, has entered the kitchen. The former Liverpool left-winger is now a commentator and pundit for the game for sports broadcaster ESPN but he will be swapping his sports knowledge for cooking skills as he competes in a very different sort of contest than he is perhaps used to.

Jeff Brazier

TV personality and presenter Jeff Brazier first came into the spotlight through his relationship with the late Jade Goodey, who he fathered two children with. Having appeared on numerous shows over the years, this is not his first time competing in reality television with a stint on Dancing on Ice back in 2009. He hs also turned his hand to writing and currently contributes to the Daily Mirror.

A member of the group, The Buffalo Girls, the incredibly well-named Baga Chipz is a drag queen who first came to prominence when she competed on the original series of Ru Pal's Drag Race. As well as appearing in last years X-Factor: Celebrity, she has also recently been seen in online impression series Morning T&T. Chipz was eliminated from the show on July 8th.

Phil Daniels is, of course, always remembered for his iconic guest appearance in Blur's hit song, Parklife. A successful actor, Daniels has appeared in many shows including, Rock & Chips, New Tricks and a 2-year stint in EastEnders as Kevin Wicks. But he did have to ask Gregg and John for a little bit of help...

Karen Gibson

Named as, “Britain’s Godmother of Gospel”, award-winning conductor Karen Gibson founded The Kingdom Choir in London more than 20 years ago, primarily as a way in which to embrace her community and practice worship. She had a starring role in Meghan and Harry's wedding - which she said is one of the reasons she got a spot on the MasterChef line-up.

Gethin Jones

Gethin Jones made a name for himself as a host of long-running children's show, Blue Peter. He joined the show in 2005 and remained there for three years. Since 2018 he has been a presenter on Hits Radio. He had a starring role in Strictly Come Dancing, but apparently it's Celebrity MasterChef that makes him more nervous.
