Emma Willis and Tom Allen for Cooking With The Stars / ITV
ITV has confirmed that Cooking With The Stars will return for its fifth series this summer, with Emma Willis and Tom Allen back as hosts.
The show – a co-production with M&S – sees eight celebrities paired up with eight professional chefs, who will train them to cook specific dishes for a kitchen cook-off.
This year’s lineup of famous faces includes former EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy, Love Island‘s Ekin-Su Culculoglu, Jack Osbourne, actor Hugh Dennis, interior designer Kelly Hoppen, Capital Radio’s Jordan North, TOWIE‘s Jess Wright and former footballer Shaun Wright-Phillips.
“I’m absolutely delighted to be back in the kitchen for another series of Cooking With The Stars,” said Willis. “Every year our celebrities throw themselves into it, and this new lineup is no exception.
“It’s always a mix of nerves, excitement, and a few inevitable kitchen catastrophes which makes for brilliant telly. I can’t wait for everyone to see what culinary delights (and disasters!) our new batch of stars cook up!”
Allen added: “The sheer nerve of these celebrities to step into our kitchen and attempt culinary greatness (or just, you know, edible food) is truly something to behold!
“I am absolutely delighted to once again join Emma to unleash another season of dazzling triumphs and utterly baffling disasters. Get ready for a delicious, slightly burnt and completely fabulous ride – that golden frying pan is waiting.”
The series will air on ITV1 later this summer.
