The ultimate celebrity culinary contest is back for a fourth series with Emma Willis and Tom Allen returning as hosts of Cooking with the Stars 2024 to preside over all the action.
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.
The celebrities taking part in Cooking with the Stars 2024 are 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.
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 2024 started back on Tuesday 30th July and Michael Caines’ celebrity cooking partner is confirmed as model and presenter Abbey Clancy (wife of football legend, Peter Crouch).
“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!”
Emma Willis
“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!”
Tom Allen
