‘Cooking does not get tougher than this!’ – Yes, it’s back. Celebrity Masterchef starts a new run this coming Monday on BBC2 at 6:30.

Every year a new set of unlikely would-be chefs have a crack at impressing judges John ‘jowl’ Torode and Greg ‘ingredients expert’ Wallace by cooking dishes of their own invention in a big TV kitchen or on various random locations.

This year, the famous faces we’ll be seeing conjure up barely edible food will be:

Former Neighbours star Anne Charleston,
Lanky TV presenter Jamie Theakston,
Pop singer Javine Hylton,
Former Olympic swimmer Stephen ‘Steve’ Parry,
Comedian/ actress/ writer Emma ‘no, we’ve not heard of her either’ Kennedy,
Presumably ex pop star Gareth Gates,
Footballer’s Wives actress Laila Rouass,
Actor George Layton, who’ll probably recognise from 70’s sitcoms,
Telly gardener Diarmud Gavin,
Grumpy Old Woman Jenny Eclair,
Michael ‘jobbing TV presenter’ Underwood,
Olympic cyclist Rebecca Romero,
Former Bucks Fizzer Cheryl Baker,
Ex footballer Danny Mills,
Richard ‘Dick not Dom’ McCourt,
And former Blue Peter presenter Zoe Salmon.

We really can’t pick a winner from that lot. Three have food-related surnames so that might help, the sports stars know all about nutrition and Cheryl Baker did a diet advert so she should know her stuff. It really is impossible to predict.
