Celebrity MasterChef has completed its line-up by revealing the third and final heat of this year’s competition.
Olympian Lauren Steadman, YouTuber Max Fosh, broadcaster Melvin Odoom, Coronation Street’s Sue Cleaver and The Saturdays' Una Healy have all signed up to test their nerve in the MasterChef kitchen.
They will have to pass their heat in order to get to the next round – with new judge Giorgio Locatelli joining Grace Dent to knock out competitors after each episode.
Ahead of the show airing later this summer, 15 stars have been announced across this past week by the heat they’re set to make their debut in.
Heat one was confirmed to be Emily Campbell, Jason Mohammad, Shakira Khan, Joe Pasquale and Jay McGuiness.
Heat two’s stars are Donna Preston, Emily Steel, Eric Underwood, Nitin Ganatra and Tom Simons.
Now the race is truly on to see who will take home the trophy at the end of the season.
Paratriathlon sports star Lauren Steadman is used to pressure, but can she stand the heat in the kitchen?
“I love to challenge myself and constantly learn new things,” she said. “Being on Celebrity MasterChef would push my boundaries and hopefully give me the confidence that I can cook!”
However, she added things could be “risky” and go wrong if she’s not careful.
Comedian and YouTuber Fosh is used to being in a kitchen, noting: “I’ve done outrageous food videos for my career, like cooking a steak using lightning bolts, but it’s time I learnt a new skill.
"Plus, my parents love MasterChef and will be proud of me!”
Melvin admits he’s used to cooking just for himself, so to impress others would be an achievement.
“I’d love to improve my skills, and it looks like a fun show. I can cook for one, but it’s hard for two or more, this is a real test,” he said.
“My cooking will be like my DJ’ing – I don’t DJ for myself, I DJ for the crowd.”
Corrie star Sue – best known for playing Eileen Grimshaw – simply said: “I really love the show and want to learn! Other people say I’m good, so we’ll see!”
While Una added she wants to be on the show “to learn as much as I can about food and challenge herself".
"I learnt to cook from watching my mum, but my parents would cook and take it in turns. I always remember the smell of a fry-up on a Saturday morning," she said.
"I rarely follow a recipe; I cook from my head usually. I feel I can perform under pressure though!"
Celebrity MasterChef will air on BBC One and iPlayer.
