JLS star JB Gill and Lesley Joseph 'set for Cooking With The Stars'
The Cooking With The Stars lineup has reportedly been completed with JLS singer JB Gill, and Birds of a Feather actress Lesley Joseph.
Lesley Joseph and JB Gill have reportedly signed up for Cooking With The Stars.
The Birds of a Feather actress and JLS singer are said to be the final two celebrities rounding off the lineup for ITV's star studded kitchen show, which will once again be hosted by Emma Willis and Tom Allen.
According to The Sun newspaper's TVBiz column, the fellow MasterChef alumni Lesley and JB are the final two stars set for the upcoming series.
JB also has experience on Channel 5's Milkshake show Cooking With The Gills, while Lelsey has appeared on Celebrity Come Dine With Me.
Others stars set for the show include Gladiators' Harry Akines-Aryeetey (Nitro), Caroline Quentin, Zara McDermott, Karen Hauer and Seann Walsh.
An insider recently told The Sun: "ITV bosses loved Scarlett Moffatt and Seann Walsh on the recent series of I’m A Celeb: South Africa, so wasted no time snapping them up for Cooking With The Stars.
"There was a lot of drama in the camp this year and a lot of very tense TV, but Scarlett and Seann both came across so well.
"They didn’t put a foot wrong, and viewers loved them, so they are perfect for a feel-good show like Cooking With The Stars.
"They’re fun, up for anything and could be real forces to be reckoned with in the kitchen."
Late last week, it was reported that former TOWIE favourite Joey Essex is adding to his long list of reality TV appearances, which includes likes of Dancing On Ice, Love Island, The Jump and I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
Also linked with the show is Emmerdale veteran Mark Charnock, who will be hoping he's learned something from playing Woolpack chef Marlon Dingle for 30 years.
Earlier last week, it was reported dancer-and-DJ Bez is keen to build on his success in Celebrity MasterChef in 2021.
An insider told the same newspaper: "ITV is delighted to have Bez on board. He’s chaotic in the best possible way and will bring the laughs with his brilliant anecdotes. And he’s a dab hand in the kitchen."
Cooking With The Stars, which is fronted by Tom Allen and Emma Willis, first aired in 2021 when McFly's Harry Judd got the win.
Last year, former EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy emerged victorious from a lineup featuring the likes of Hugh Dennis, Jordan North and runner-up Jack Osbourne.
