COOKING WITH THE STARS: FIRST LOOK AT NEW SERIES AS CHEF PAIRINGS REVEALED

The celebrities hoping to cook up a storm this series will be actor Natalie Cassidy, reality TV star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, actor and comedian Hugh Dennis, author and interiors expert Kelly Hoppen, radio presenter Jordan North, media personality Jack Osbourne, reality TV star Jessica Wright and former footballer Shaun Wright-Phillips.

Across a series of exciting cooking battles, the show will see the eight celebrities go head to head in the kitchen as they attempt to go from passionate amateur cooks to restaurant level chefs. Each celebrity will be paired with an accomplished chef who will mentor and teach them to produce delicious dishes that will be judged by the other professionals.

At the end of each episode, the bottom two will have to fight for their place in the competition, creating a dish without any help from their mentor. The result of this eliminator will be decided by a blind tasting judgement from the professional chefs, but, unaware of whose food they are tasting, the professionals could go from being their protege’s greatest supporter to unwittingly voting them out of the competition.
