When does Celebrity MasterChef 2022 start? Release date confirmed-Charlotte Manning-Entertainment – Metro

Celebrity MasterChef is set to soon be back on our screens, and cooking doesn’t get tougher than this. 

Gregg Wallace, 57, and John Torode, 56, will be back in the MasterChef kitchen once again to guide a crop of very nervous celebrity cooks through the hit series. 

Last year’s series saw Paralympic champion Kadeena Cox crowned the winner, and she appeared on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Just months later. 

Now, there’s a brand-new set of stars who will be showing off their cooking skills. 

Love Island star Faye Winter, Strictly Come Dancing professional Katya Jones, McFly singer Danny Jones and comedian Paul Chuckle are among the celebrities taking part in the upcoming series. 

Celebrity MasterChef will be back on Wednesday, August 10, at 8pm, with the first five celebrities taking on the challenge in the first heat of four.

It will then air every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday as the competition quickly whittles down. 

There will be 18 episodes in total which are sure to entertain fans over the coming weeks.
