Anticipation is building for the upcoming season of Celebrity MasterChef, which has lined up an X Factor alum and a well-known celebrity makeup artist among its contestants.
The celebrity edition of the popular cooking showdown is slated to return in 2024, although the exact premiere date remains under wraps.
Last season saw Welsh opera singer Wynne Evans, widely recognized as the ‘Go.Compare man’ from the beloved advertisements, taking home the title.
Returning to host the culinary contest are renowned celebrity chef John Torode and esteemed food entrepreneur Gregg Wallace.
Among the 20 celebrities vying for the prestigious MasterChef trophy is Jake Quickenden, a singer and internet sensation.

The 35-year-old Jake is no stranger to the spotlight, having competed on The X Factor in both 2012 and 2014, where he was eliminated before the live shows in his initial appearance and reached Week 3 in his subsequent try.
Despite this, he became a household name when he participated in I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! the very next month.
Jake lost only to Carl ‘Foggarty’ Fogart, and the two got on so well that Carl introduced him to his daughter whom Jake was engaged to before they split.
In 2018, Jake returned to reality television and competed in Dancing On Ice, winning with German figure skater Vanessa Bauer.
The next star to be announced for the show is none other than the gloriously moustached Dominic Skinner.
Make-up artist to the stars, Dominic is currently a judge on BBC Three show Glow Up: Britain’s Next Make-Up Star.
He has been on the show since its start in 2019 and has worked alongside Stacey Dooley, Maya Jama, and British model Leomie Anderson.
Dominic boast over 600,000 followers on Instagram and will run three masterclasses in March – April for his followers in Dublin, London and Glasgow.
According to The Sun, Jake and Dominic are joining Loose Women and Lorraine star 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.
