"I'm so excited to be heading back into the Cooking with the Stars kitchen alongside Tom for an all new series," said Emma. "We have a brilliant new line-up of celebrities who are set to be put to the test.
"You never know what their capabilities are which makes it a lot of fun. And if we're lucky, we get to mop up the leftovers from the worktops!"
