The official Celebrity MasterChef 2023 line-up has officially been revealed and it’s fair to say judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace will have their hands full with this lot.
From Love Island’s Dani Dyer to The Inbetweeners actor James Buckley, and The Wanted singer Max George, 20 stars of the screen and stage will be put through their paces across six weeks in a bid to be crowned champion of the BBC One cooking competition.
The first episode of each heat will see our celebs, in teams of five, take on the returning Under The Cloche challenge, before creating a two-course dinner party menu of their design.
The much-adored Dinner Party Dish and Nostalgia Dish challenges will also be back, while a brand-new Celebrity Food Truck challenge awaits this batch of famous faces.
