West End star Denise Van Outen among a host of celebrities who will take part in a new cooking programme.
Cooking With The Stars will feature the Basildon-born star alongside fellow Essex performer Harry Judd.
Harry, who is McFly's drummer is no stranger to reality shows having taken part in the 2011 Strictly Come Dancing competition which he won.
The show sees eight famous faces paired with an accomplished chef who will mentor them towards becoming restaurant-standard cooks.
The mentors will then become judges, rating the other celebrity contestants, with the bottom two at risk of leaving the competition.
This eliminator round will be decided by a blind testing from the chefs, in which they may unknowingly turn on their mentee.
