ITV has formally announced new competition series Cooking with the Stars for broadcast this summer.
The six-part show, hosted by Emma Willis and comedian Tom Allen, will see eight celebrities each partnered up with a professional chef for training before going head to head against one other in the kitchen.
"I absolutely love cooking so I can't wait to see the celebrities in the kitchen showing what they have or haven't learnt," said Willis, who also hosts The Voice for ITV.
"What a brilliant opportunity to be trained by some of the best chefs in the business and I'm hoping I can pick up a few tips too.
"I know it's going to be a lot of fun hosting with the brilliant Tom Allen so I can't wait to get started."
Katie Rawcliffe, ITV's head of entertainment commissioning, added: "This series is set to combine all the ingredients to deliver great entertainment, cooking inspiration, a lively competition and fantastic hosts in Emma Willis and Tom Allen.
"The past year has seen the nation developing their home cooking skills more than ever and now we'll get to see how well our celebrity lineup can cook with the guiding hand of expert mentors."
The programme is being co-funded by Marks & Spencer, who will use the opportunity to promote the M&S Food range.
