ITV’s new show Cooking With The Stars features eight celebrities, each paired with an accomplished chef to mentor them in hopes to take them from passionate amateurs to restaurant-level chefs.

The stars will compete in cooking battles each week, with the bottom two fighting for a spot in the tournament.

Their mentor chefs then become judges, rating the other celebrity cooks, with the bottom two at risk of leaving the competition.

ITV said in a statement: ‘Should they end up in the bottom two the celebrities will be fighting for their place in the contest on their own, with no help from their teacher, as they each present a dish in the hope of saving their spot.

‘This eliminator round is decided by a blind testing from the chefs – unaware of whose food they’re passing judgement over the greatest supporter could swiftly and unwittingly become the worst critic and vote for their protégé to leave the competition.’

Read on to find out who will be hosting the unique cooking show.
