The lineup for the second series of ITV's Cooking With The Stars has been revealed.
Celebrities will be paired with a chef who will mentor them to become restaurant-standard cooks.
Each episode will see the celebrity dishes being judged by the professional chefs.
The bottom two will have to create a dish without any help from their mentor, which will be blind-tasted by the professionals and the winner decided.
Best bib & tucker, my loves - literally… Delighted to be invited to partake in the next series of @ITV’s #CookingWithTheStars! Under the expert tutelage of @RosemaryShrager I’ll swap sashays for sautés and voltas for veloutés this summer… details soon!

The six-part series is set to take place in the summer with Tom Allen and Emma Willis as presenters.
Willis said: “Tom and I had so much fun last series and I’m looking forward to getting back into the kitchen.
"The pressure the celebs are under is real and once the competition starts heating up everybody wants to win, but I’m hoping there isn’t as much blood as last series!”
Allen said: “Last series was so exciting! Emma Willis and I have been polishing our frying pans in preparation – we have so much fun working together.
"The celebrities are being trained by some of the best chefs in the business and with the clock ticking it’s always tense to see if they’ll improve their cooking enough each week to measure up to the judges’ high standards.”
