The BBC has announced that two new Celebrity MasterChef specials will screen over the Christmas period – featuring the return of some popular celebrity contestants from previous editions of the beloved cookery competition.
In all eight of the most memorable celebrities from series past will attempt to impress John Torode and Gregg Wallace all over again with a range of Yuletide-themed culinary tasks.
Those tasks are set to include a festive twist on the infamous Invention Test and a Pairs Test that sees them cook some seasonal staples.
Finally, they’ll be tasked with cooking a two-course meal – in one episode an Ultimate Christmas Dinner using well-known seasonal ingredients and in the other an alternative Christmas dinner cooking, what they’d really like to eat over the festive period.
Read on for everything you need to know about the specials – including which celebs are taking part.
