Celebrity MasterChef 2023 line-up: Confirmed cast for season 18
From Emmerdale actor Amy Walsh to Black Eyed Peas star Apl.de.Ap, Strictly stars and more.
Celebrity MasterChef is back for a brand new season, with 20 stars stepping into the kitchen to show off their cooking skills (or lack of).
Featuring comedy legends, award-winning musicians, presenters, entertainers and stars of screen and stage, the celebs will battle it out in the famous kitchen in a bid to take home the coveted Celebrity MasterChef 2023 trophy.
They'll be hoping to impress returning judges and hosts John Torode and Gregg Wallace, and follow in the footsteps of television presenter Lisa Snowdon, after she won the competition, beating the likes of All Saints singer Mel Blatt and McFly's Danny Jones.
Season 18 will kick off this summer, and will take place over six weeks.
Katie Attwood, MasterChef Series Editor, said: “This series is a total treat for Celebrity MasterChef fans – John and Gregg are on sizzling form and the creative dishes that the celebrities deliver need to be seen to be believed. Expect everything and more!”
Sarah Clay, Commissioning Editor for the BBC, said: “It’s 2023 and Celebrity MasterChef is back with new challenges, new faces but the familiar humour and expertise of our esteemed judges, John and Gregg. The series go from strength to strength and this one doesn’t disappoint.”
