Former TOWIE star James Argent has reportedly joined the lineup for the new series of E4's Celebrity Cooking School.
The show - returning for a second series - sees Michelin-starred chef Giorgio Locatelli attempt to teach a group of hapless celebs the fundamentals of cooking.
Katie Price had been in line to take part before she allegedly pulled out at the last minute, with filming due to begin this week.
According to The Sun, one person definitely in the lineup is Argent, 35, who has lost 13 stone over the last two years following gastric surgery.
"Arg is a keen cook and jumped at the chance to take part in the show," a source told the newspaper.
"Because of his weight loss surgery, Arg is really in tune with healthy eating and what he puts into his body but he is not the best cook.
"He signed up last month and will start filming with his co-stars this week. Arg hopes he can learn some proper skills in the kitchen."
The new series is scheduled to air on E4 later this year.
