Hollywood actor who has starred in gangster films ‘set to appear in the new series of Celebrity MasterChef’

A Hollywood film star who apparently sees herself as a ‘bit of a chef’ has reportedly signed up for the new series of Celebrity MasterChef.

It won’t be long before presenters Gregg Wallace and John Torode are back in the kitchen with a new group of famous faces as casting draws to a close.

According to The sunone of the stars apparently set to appear in the show’s upcoming series is screen legend Tamer Hassan.

Tamer, 55, who is best known for co-starring with Danny Dyer in The Football Factory, also appeared in Batman Begins (2005) and The Business (2005).

An insider told the publication: ‘Fans may be surprised, but Tamer actually considers herself a bit of a chef when it comes to the kitchen.

‘He is very competitive, so when the BBC asked him to apply, he jumped at the chance. He’s determined to win!’

Tamer’s family also came into the spotlight in recent years when his daughter Belle, 26, appeared on the 2019 edition of Love Island.

The celebrity version of the cooking competition will return in 2024, but a specific air date has not yet been announced.

The show has so far roped in a former X Factor star and a celebrity make-up artist as excitement builds for the new series.

Last year’s series was won by Welsh opera singer Wynne Evans, 52, better known as the ‘Go.Compare man’ from the company’s popular adverts.

Among the 20 stars competing for the coveted MasterChef trophy is singer and internet personality Jake Quickenden.

Jake, 35, appeared on The X Factor in 2012 and 2014. He missed the live shows in his first series and in his second he quit in week 3.

Despite this, he became a household name when he took part in I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! the next month.

Jake only lost to Carl ‘Foggarty’ Fogart, and the two got along so well that Carl introduced him to his daughter to whom Jake was engaged before they broke up.

In 2018, Jake returned to reality television and took part in Dancing On Ice, where he won with German figure skater Vanessa Bauer.

The next star to be announced for the show is none other than the gloriously mustached Dominic Skinner.
