Cooking with the Stars 2023 cast: Confirmed celebrity line-up
Here's everything we know about the 2023 Cooking with the Stars line-up so far.
We loved the first two seasons of Cooking with the Stars - so imagine our delight when a third was announced!
That’s right, the ITV cooking show is set to return to our screens this summer, with presenters Emma Willis and Tom Allen at the helm once more.
In the programme, eight celebrities will be paired with top chefs - including Rosemary Shrager, Jean-Christophe Novelli and Jack Stein - who will mentor them throughout each challenge in a bid to turn the stars from amateurs to restaurant-level cooks.
Vying to be crowned the winner among this year’s cohort, we have a BAFTA-winning actor, a former middle-weight boxer and a sitcom legend.
Read on to find out exactly who will be joining season 3 of Cooking with the Stars…

The actor has also had parts in films such as Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, Tomorrow Never Dies, The Golden Compass and the Nativity series. After tragically losing his two-year-old daughter Maude to sepsis in 2011, Jason campaigns for greater awareness of the life-threatening infection - and, along with his wife Clara, released documentary In Memory of Maudie earlier this year.

The star was crowned 'King of the Jungle' on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in 2006, and has plenty of practice in the kitchen after previously taking part in Celebrity MasterChef.
