Cooking With The Stars is back for a fourth Series…
Emma Willis and Tom Allen return as hosts presiding over all the action, as eight celebrities are paired with professional chefs who will mentor them, in a bid to transform them from amateur to expert in a matter of weeks.
Emma Willis:
“I’m so excited to be heading back into the Cooking With The Stars kitchen alongside Tom for an all new series. 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!”
Celebrities taking part in this new series include Paralympian Ellie Simmonds, model and presenter Abbey Clancy, athlete Linford Christie, actor and television host Christopher Biggins, presenter Carol Vorderman, comedian Katherine Ryan, YouTuber Harry Pinero and Strictly professional dancer Pasha Kovalev.
Produced by South Shore and co-funded by Marks & Spencer, this six-part cooking competition will be transmitted this summer on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player.
Throughout the series, the celebrities will be guided by their Chef Mentor as they attempt to create the winning dish in a series of intense Cooking Battles. The loser of each Battle will then have to fight for their place in the competition in the dreaded Cook Off. Judged blind by all the chefs, there is the possibility that the losing celebrity could even be sent home by their own Chef Mentor. But who can handle the heat and go all the way to the end to become the culinary champion of this exciting cooking competition?
Cooking With The Stars is a partnership between Marks & Spencer, ITV and South Shore.
Tom Allen:
“I cannot believe how lucky I am to watch another batch of celebrities – all pretty much clueless in the kitchen – turning out the most amazing dishes. All in a bid to get their hands on my golden frying pan. Emma and I are back in the Cooking With The Stars kitchen and we are over the moon!”
