Radio 1’s Clara Amfo, actor Keith Allen and Strictly professional dancer AJ Pritchard also join the roster, while judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace will be back once again to scrutinise the celebrities’ creations.

The forthcoming 13th series, which will begin in the summer, has a new twist in the brand new “Pairs Challenge”, which will see the four semi-finalists split into teams of two.

Each team will cook the same dish, but a wall will separate team members, so instructions will have to be given vocally to ensure their dishes are identical.

The six-week, 12 episode series will culminate in a final 90-minute special featuring the remaining three celebrities.
