Christine McGuinness is among 20 famous faces who are serving up a storm on BBC One's Celebrity MasterChef 2024.

The TV personality who split up with Bolton's Paddy McGuinness two years ago is appearing on the series this summer.

Ms McGuinness, 36, from Blackpool, is famous for her appearances on shows including The Real Housewives of Cheshire and The Real Full Monty. Around a year ago she spoke out about autism awareness in a documentary after a diagnosis with the disorder later in life.

She is among 20 famous faces alongside reality TV stars Charlotte Crosby (Geordie Shore) and Chloe Burrows (Love Island), singers Ian 'H' Watkins (Steps) and Mutya Buena (Sugababes), and radio stars OJ Borg (BBC Radio 2) and Snoochie Shy (BBC Radio 1Xtra).

Katie Attwood, series editor for MasterChef, said: "Celebrity MasterChef fans are in for a treat this summer with a top line-up of celebrities and the ever-thrilling John [Torode] and Gregg [Wallace] on judging duty.

"These stars will need to pull out all the stops this year as we are testing their mettle. It is one you will not want to miss."

"These stars are a brave brunch and they are taking us on a brilliant ride, all in the hands of our judges, John and Gregg."

The series is scheduled for six weeks this summers with four weeks of heats then the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final.
