The BBC have confirmed the full line-up for the upcoming series of Celebrity MasterChef.
The celebrity version of the much-loved cooking show is set to return to BBC1 after filming for its 20th series earlier this year.
New judge Grace Dent, 52, and John Torode, 60, will appear on our screens alongside a selection of very famous faces.
The BBC have said: ‘Five weeks of extraordinary challenges await, where the judges will oversee this culinary competition that will push the 15 celebrities beyond the comfort of their showbiz jobs.
‘Acting the part won’t cut the mustard and singing for your supper will not equal success.
‘The only thing guaranteed is that just one of them will be left standing at the end, where their sparkling career will lead them to the shiny prize – the iconic Celebrity MasterChef trophy.’
