Celebrity MasterChef 2022: Line-Up, Start Date And Judges

Here at Delish, we sure do love MasterChef. We love regular MasterChef, We love MasterChef: The Professionals, and boy do we love Celebrity MasterChef! John Torode and Gregg Wallace making weird noises when they eat, the questionable dishes that get served up sometimes, and the fact that we're always convinced we could do better (we couldn't) are just some of the reasons we wouldn't miss a single episode of BBC's iconic cooking series.

So, the great news is, Celebrity MasterChef is back!
