New Stars on Celebrity MasterChef

Ian, 48, confessed that he has never cooked for family or friends, relying primarily on an air fryer and microwave. He expressed a desire to develop his culinary skills to involve his children in cooking, describing the pre-show anticipation as a "time warp." Edith, 50, echoed Ian's sentiments, calling the lead-up to the show "terrifying." She shared her excitement about stepping into the iconic MasterChef kitchen for the first time, where she was greeted by the familiar faces of judges John and Gregg. Charlotte, 34, described the surreal experience of entering the kitchen, emphasizing the overwhelming nature of the moment. Craig, 53, also shared his motivations for joining the competition, revealing that he has been a fan of MasterChef for 20 years. Despite his love for cooking, he admitted to feeling terrified at the prospect of competing, as he aims to prove his culinary abilities. The star-studded cast includes notable personalities such as model Christine McGuinness and EastEnders actress Danielle Harold. As they prepare to battle for the title of MasterChef Champion 2024, contestants will face unique challenges, including cooking dishes they dislike, adding to the excitement of the competition.
