Judged blind by all the chefs, there is the possibility that the losing celebrity could even be sent home by their own Chef Mentor.

But who can handle the heat and go all the way to the end to become the culinary champion of this exciting cooking competition?

Emma said: “I’m so excited to be heading back into the Cooking With The Stars kitchen alongside Tom for an all new series.

"We have a brilliant new line-up of celebrities who are set to be put to the test.

"You never know what their capabilities are which makes it a lot of fun, and if we’re lucky, we get to mop up the leftovers from the worktops!”

Tom added: “I cannot believe how lucky I am to watch another batch of celebrities - all pretty much clueless in the kitchen - turning out the most amazing dishes.
