Celebrity MasterChef is officially returning this autumn for its 20th series, with John Torode back in the kitchen alongside new judge Grace Dent.
Filmed earlier this year, the landmark season will see 15 celebrities from across music, sport, TV and comedy take on the heat of the MasterChef kitchen.
Over five weeks, they’ll face a series of high-pressure cooking challenges, all for the chance to be crowned Celebrity MasterChef 2025 Champion.
The new line-up includes stars from all walks of life, from chart-topping singers and reality TV favourites to sports icons and seasoned actors.
Here’s the full list of who’s taking part:
- Alfie Boe OBE – opera singer and West End star
- Alun Wyn Jones OBE – former Wales rugby captain
- Antony Costa – singer from Blue and actor
- Ashley Cain – TV personality and former footballer
- Chris Hughes – reality TV star and presenter
- Dawn O’Porter – author and broadcaster
- Gaz Choudhry MBE – Paralympian and actor
- Ginger Johnson – drag performer and Drag Race UK winner
- Jaki Graham – soul singer
- Jamie Lomas – actor, known for Hollyoaks
- Jodie Ounsley – Gladiator “Fury” and ex-rugby player
- Katie McGlynn – actress from Coronation Street
- Michelle Heaton – singer from Liberty X
- Noreen Khan – comedian and radio host
- Uma Jammeh – TV presenter
Each week will test their creativity, technique, and ability to stay calm under pressure as they cook for the judges and special guests.
Last year’s winner, professional dancer Vito Coppola, set a high bar. This time around, only one celebrity will take home the trophy.
Celebrity MasterChef returns soon to BBC One.
