EastEnders and Strictly stars confirmed for Celebrity MasterChef 2024
Favourites from the screen to the stage are all heading into the MasterChef kitchen.
Celebrity MasterChef will return to screens this summer, with a star-studded line-up of familiar faces ready to prove to judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace they have what it takes to be crowned Celebrity MasterChef Champion 2024.
Celebrating its 19th run of the celebrity edition, the series will welcome actors, comedians, pop stars and entertainers to the MasterChef kitchen, as they are all put to the test in a series of "increasingly intense challenges".
Hoping to join a long line of winners, including reigning champ Wynne Evans, are reality TV stars Charlotte Crosby and Chloe Burrows, TV personality Christine McGuinness, The Traitors star Diane Carson, TV and radio presenter Craig Doyle and EastEnders actress Danielle Harold.
Elsewhere in the line-up are make-up artist and TV judge Dominic Skinner, TV and radio presenter Edith Bowman, model Emma Thynn, comedian and actor Eshaan Akbar and Gladiator Harry Aikines-Aryeetey (AKA Nitro).
Joining them in the kitchen are pop star Ian 'H' Watkins, presenter Jake Quickenden, comedian Jamie MacDonald, Sugababes star Mutya Buena, BBC Radio 2 presenter OJ Borg, actor Rochenda Sandall, TV and radio presenter Snoochie Shy, actor Tamer Hassan and Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Vito Coppola.
Celebrity MasterChef will kick off with four heat weeks, aimed at testing the celebrities' skills in the kitchen. Those who come out on top will make it towards the end of the competition, with only the most talented cooks making it to the final.
The first heat will have five new celebrities take on their first daunting task: the Under the Cloche challenge, in which they must create a dish from scratch that shows off what they can do.
After the heats, the remaining eight celebrities will face the semi-final and final week challenges.
Katie Attwood, MasterChef series editor, said: "Celebrity MasterChef fans are in for a treat this summer – with a top line-up of celebrities and the ever-thrilling John and Gregg on judging duty.
"These stars will need to pull out all the stops this year as we're really testing their mettle. It's one you won't want to miss!"
