Celebrity MasterChef 2024 is set to ignite a fierce daytime battle between ITV’s biggest morning shows, with familiar faces from Lorraine and This Morning rumored to be squaring off in the kitchen. The popular celeb spin-off of the BBC cooking show will return for its 19th season this summer, with judges Gregg Wallace and John Torode back at the helm. While the official lineup is yet to be announced, strong reports suggest that This Morning’s Craig Doyle and Lorraine’s relief presenter Christine Lampard will be among the contenders.
Craig Doyle, 53, has been a regular relief presenter for This Morning since his debut in 2021, often appearing alongside Alison Hammond. He has also hosted various sports programs, including rugby and Moto GP for TNT Sport, and helmed Tonight with Craig Doyle on RTÉ in his native Ireland. Christine Lampard, 45, began her presenting career over 20 years ago and joined Lorraine in 2017. She has since presented over 100 episodes and appeared as a panellist on Loose Women since 2016.
The clash between these two high-profile morning hosts adds an extra layer of excitement to the forthcoming season of Celebrity MasterChef. In addition to Craig and Christine, rumors suggest that Diane Carson from The Traitors, Ian ‘H’ Watkins from Steps, radio presenter Edith Bowman, and Snoochie Shy from Radio 1Xtra will be joining the lineup. Charlotte Crosby from Geordie Shore and Harry ‘Nitro’ Aikines-Aryeetey, the new face of Gladiators, will also put their cooking skills to the test.
Last year’s winner, Wynne Evans, triumphed over fierce competition, including Radio 2’s Richie Anderson, Apl from The Black Eyed Peas, and Love Island contestant Luca Bish. Previous winners of Celebrity MasterChef include TV presenter Lisa Snowdon, athlete Kadeena Cox, and broadcaster and YouTube personality Riyadh Khalaf.
Fans of the show and casual viewers alike can expect another thrilling and mouthwatering season of Celebrity MasterChef, as the celebrities battle it out to impress judges Gregg Wallace and John Torode. The return of this popular cooking competition is eagerly awaited by viewers, who will no doubt be glued to their screens to see which celebrity will be crowned the MasterChef champion of 2024.
Celebrity MasterChef is set to air on BBC One later this year, bringing culinary excitement and intense competition back into our lives. Stay tuned for more updates on the official lineup and prepare for a cooking showdown like no other.
