Who are the judges?

 Each celeb on the show will be trained by a professional chef partner.

The mentor chefs will then judge the dishes of the other celebrity cooks.

The chefs taking part in the series are:

• British chef and TV presenter Rosemary Shrager
• Food writer and restaurant owner Nisha Katona
• Culinary expert and This Morning chef Joseph Denison Carey
• Michelin starred chef and author Mark Sargeant
• Chef director Jack Stein
• Korean food expert and TV chef Judy Joo
• Chef and business owner Tristan Welch
• Italian chef and restaurateur Francesco Mazzei

In a twist for the celebs, the bottom two celeb cooks in each episode will have to prepare their own meal without help from their mentor.

Each of the meals will be tasted blind by each of the mentor chefs - so each of the chefs could be unknowingly be critiquing their own protege.
