Celebrity Masterchef: Strictly Come Dancing’s Gleb Savchenko, Sinitta, Donna Air And More Sign Up

After Jane Devonshire recently stormed to victory on Masterchef, having seriously impressed the judges with her amazing culinary skills, John Torode and Gregg Wallace are BACK to put 20 celebrities through their paces.

Amongst those hoping to score culinary approval with their raspberry coulis, confit egg yolks and red wine reductions are Strictly Come Dancing’s Gleb Savchenko, former TOWIE star Amy Childs, EastEnders’ Laila Morse, entertainment legend Jimmy Osmond and boxing’s Audley Harrison.

This year’s celebs will be taking on the usual challenges, with the added pressure of creating a five-course dinner to celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday.

MasterChef’s executive producer David Ambler said: “John and Gregg really push the celebs to reach for the culinary heights and there’s no shortage of entertainment and drama.

“Despite the blood, sweat and tears we see some of the best food we have seen in our eleven years of doing the show.”

Executive producer Carla-Maria Lawson added that it’s ‘one of the most passionate groups of celebrity cooks’ they’ve ever had, explaining: “This year’s celebrities come from an incredibly mixed range of backgrounds and the diversity of their life experiences is reflected in their food.”

Bring it on!
