THE BBC has dropped the first look at Celebrity MasterChef with Love Island, Strictly and The Inbetweeners stars.

A whole new host of famous faces will join judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace in the Masterchef kitchen.



These include Emmerdale's Amy Walsh, Strictly pro Dianne Buswell and her former celeb partner Max George, as well as star of The Inbetweeners, James Buckley.

In the Celebrity Masterchef trailer Max, 34, is seen looking down at a mystery ingredient and saying: "I've never seen one of them in my life."

Meanwhile Gogglebox's Mica Ven looks pretty pleased with some feedback she receives from the judges in another glimpse at the series.

Masterchef fans will be delighted as judge Gregg, 58, says his favourite phrase "buttery biscuit base".

After the line-up was first announced last month, Paddy Power believes The Wanted singer Max could be the next star champion, with odds of 5/4.

Followed closely behind Max with a high chance of winning the trophy is Love Island's Dani Dyer, who recently gave birth to twins.

She's got odds of 5/1, while actor Michael Praed – best known for his role as Robin of Loxley in the 1980s series Robin of Sherwood – is least likely to be crowned champ.


Celebrity Masterchef returns to BBC One & BBC iPlayer on Wednesday August 2 at 9pm.
