Celebrity MasterChef has secured an X Factor star and celebrity make-up artist as excitement builds for the new series.
The celebrity version of the cooking competition will return in 2024, but a specific air date has not yet been announced.
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.
Celebrity chef John Torode and food businessman Gregg Wallace return as hosts of the reality show.
Among the 20 stars competing for the coveted MasterChef trophy is singer and internet personality Jake Quickenden.

The next star to be announced for the competition is make-up artist to the stars, Dominic Skinner
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.
Make-up artist to the stars, Dominic is currently a judge on the BBC Three show Glow Up: Britain’s Next Make-Up Star.
He has been on the show since its inception in 2019 and has collaborated with Stacey Dooley, Maya Jama and British model Leomie Anderson.
Dominic has over 600,000 followers on Instagram and will be running three masterclasses for his followers in Dublin, London and Glasgow in March – April.
According to The sunJake and Dominic join Loose Women and Lorraine stars Christine Lampard and This Morning’s Craig Doyle.
Also on the cards are Line of Duty actress Rochenda Sandall, comedian Eshaan Akbar and Team GB sprinter Harry Aikines-Aryeetey – who recently joined the Gladiators reboot as Nitro.
