But as she announced the news to her social media followers, alongside a picture of herself in the iconic kitchen, she joked: “It has been said that I could burn a cup of tea….this should be interesting @BBCOne @MasterChefUK #masterchef”.

“oh god I HAVE to watch this,” said one, smattering the comment with a series of laughing emojis.
Another commented: “I’m sure you will do great!”
A third added: “After watching you bake cakes with Harvey I agree this will be interesting [Rolling on the floor laughing emoji]”.
As usual, Gregg Wallace and John Torode will be in charge on the celebrity version of the cooking programme, while guest chefs including This Morning’s Nisha Katona will be judging their talents.
Fans will definitely be tuning in to see Pricey – who says she’s honed her skills cooking for her “fussy” children – whipping up dishes.
A source told The Celeb Report: “Katie’s really excited for people to see a different side to her – she’s actually a really good cook, and wants to show off her kitchen skills.”
It’s been a week of good news for Katie, who announced her engagement to boyfriend Carl Woods, 31, after ten months of dating.
On Monday night Katie showed off her ring in a photo shared to both her and Carl’s Instagram with the caption: “I said yes.”
On her SEVENTH engagement, a source told The Celeb Report: “Katie has been down this road many times before but she has no reservations about taking the plunge with Carl.
“She’s a true romantic and, in him, she thinks she’s finally found the one.”
Katie’s divorce from third husband and ex-stripper Kieran Hayler, 34, was made official only last month.
She was previously married to Peter Andre, 48, from 2005 to 2009, and cage fighter Alex Reid, 45, from 2010 until 2012.
Katie first got engaged to former Gladiator Warren Furman, 48, in 1997.
She was also engaged to Argentine model Leandro Penna, 35, for eight months in 2012 and fitness coach Kris Boyson, 31, in July 2019 before their 19-month relationship ended the following December.
