CELEBRITY Cooking School is back – and The Celeb Report can exclusively reveal who will be on this year’s line-up.
The series – which sees self-confessed “terrible cooks” battle it out to learn the culinary arts to be crowned the winner – will air on E4 later this year for a second round.

Scotty T is hoping the show will relaunch his career
We’ve already revealed James ‘Arg’ Argent and Scotty T will be among those participating in the series, with Arg taking an interest in learning how to become a better chef following his tremendous weight loss after gastric surgery.
Scotty T, who has disappeared from the limelight over the past four years, will be using the show as his big return to TV.
He was dramatically axed from Geordie Shore after he was caught taking cocaine and presenting opportunities dried up.
Katie Price was originally meant to be participating, but pulled out at the last minute ahead of filming despite the five-figure fee she was offered, sending the show into chaos.
But filming has now commenced in Bristol, with the gang being seen arriving to the set to begin the competition.
The full line-up of contestants is:
James ‘Arg’ Argent – Towie legend.
Scotty T – Geordie Shore star and who previously won Celebrity Big Brother 2016.
Blu Hydrangea – Drag Race UK star and Irish drag queen, who has become famed for her make-up transformations on TikTok.
Louie Spence – Pineapple Dance Studios’ legendary dancer, former Celebrity Big Brother contestant and TV personality, known for his larger-than-life persona.
Spudzz – self-proclaimed “comedic rockstar”, Youtuber, comedian and prankster who has previously hosted online Channel 4 shows.
Ruth Codd – Irish TikTok star, actress and presenter who starred in Netflix’s The Midnight Club.
Nancy Dell’Olio – Lawyer, former girlfriend of Sven Goran Eriksson and socialite who’s previously appeared on Strictly Come Dancing, Celebrity MasterChef and Celebrity Big Brother.
Ann Widdecombe – Former Tory MP, former Celebrity Big Brother contestant and ex-Strictly Come Dancing participant.
Nadia Rose – rapper and songwriter who is the cousin of Stormzy. Previously worked with Spice Girl Mel C on her self-titled album.
Olivia Bentley – Made In Chelsea and Celebs Go Dating star and entrepreneur.
The series is hosted by Melvin Odoom and Michelin-starred chef Giorgio Locatelli, owner of the Michelin-starred Italian restaurant Locanda Locatelli.
The first series – which featured the likes of Kerry Katona, Love Island’s Toby Aromolaran and Made In Chelsea’s Sam Thompson – was won by First Dates star Laura Tott.
