Anticipation is mounting for the latest season of Celebrity MasterChef, which has enlisted an X Factor alumnus and a renowned celebrity make-up artist for its upcoming lineup.

The star-studded cooking showdown is set to make a comeback in 2024, though the network has yet to reveal the exact premiere date.

In the previous season, the coveted title was claimed by Welsh opera singer Wynne Evans, famously recognized as the ‘Go.Compare man’ from the insurance company’s catchy commercials.

Returning to guide the culinary journey are celebrity chef John Torode and food entrepreneur Gregg Wallace, who will once again host the popular reality series.

Among the 20 contestants vying for the prestigious MasterChef title is singer and online sensation Jake Quickenden.

Jake, 35, appeared on The X Factor in 2012 and 2014. He missed out on the live shows in his first series and in his second, exited at Week 3.

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.
