A new cohort of famous contestants will be going head to head in the Celebrity MasterChef kitchen, as the star-studded cooking competition returns for its 18th season.
On the line-up this year are the likes of reality star Luca Bish, actress Amy Walsh and singer Max George - who’ll all be hoping to follow in the footsteps of last year’s winner Lisa Snowdon.
Over six weeks, the stars will be taking part in a series of culinary challenges designed to push their gastronomic skills to the limit. So who will flourish in the kitchen and who will flounder under pressure?
As ever, John Torode and Gregg Wallace will be on judging duties, so they’ll have the final say on which stars make it through to the next stage of the competition.
