Cooking With The Stars return date, time, presenters, judges and celeb line-up
The ITV culinary competition, Cooking With The Stars, is set to make a sizzling return with Emma Willis and Tom Allen back at the helm. A fresh batch of eight celebrities are gearing up to step into the kitchen.
This beloved programme pairs complete cooking novices with acclaimed chefs as they embark on a gastronomic quest for the coveted Golden Frying Pan. Emma Willis has teased that this season's standards are sky-high, telling ITV: "Looking at those first few days in the kitchen, this is the highest level we've ever had."
She added, "Sometimes the dishes can look a bit rough around the edges but actually taste amazing - but this year, I thought everyone's first cook looked great and tasted great... well, from what we've managed to snatch off the counter anyway!"
Like previous seasons, each celebrity will be under the tutelage of a renowned chef as they face off in intense culinary duels and edge-of-your-seat cook offs, reports the Express.
Each episode will see the lowest-scoring celebs enter the eliminator round, where they'll go whisk-to-whisk to dodge being booted off the show.
Their mentors will have to endure the tension in silence, ultimately delivering the final judgement as the pressure in the kitchen reaches boiling point.
Mentors are tasked with participating in a taste test, unaware of which dish belongs to which contestant - meaning they could inadvertently send their own protégé home if they make an incorrect judgement.
Who is taking part?
This time around, the celebrities hoping to impress with their culinary skills include actor Natalie Cassidy, reality TV star Ekin-Su Cülcülolu, actor and comedian Hugh Dennis, author and interiors expert Kelly Hoppen, radio presenter Jordan North, reality TV star Jessica Wright, and former footballer Shaun Wright-Phillips.
Media personality Jack Osbourne is also part of this year's line-up, despite the recent passing of his beloved father just days ago. The rock icon passed away at the age of 76 on July 22, following his final farewell concert in Birmingham.
Although Cooking With The Stars will air this weekend, the programme was pre-recorded before the rock legend's death.
Who is teamed with which professional?
In terms of pairings, Hugh Dennis is teamed up with April Jackson, Ekin-Su is paired with Poppy O'Toole, Jack Osbourne is mentored by Elliott Grover, while Natalie Cassidy is working alongside Tony Singh.
Michael Caines is partnered with Kelly Hoppen, Jordan North is paired with Rosemary Shrager, Jessica Wright is under the guidance of Jack Stein, and Shaun Wright-Phillips is teamed up with Shelina Permalloo.
Each professional mentor brings a wealth of culinary experience to the table.
How can I watch?
The popular ITV cooking show will be returning to screens this weekend, with the first episode set to air on Sunday, August 3rd at 8pm.
Fans who are unable to catch the broadcast will have additional chances to keep up with the show's antics on several streaming platforms.
The new six-part series will enjoy a prime time slot on ITV1 and will also be available for streaming on ITVX, STV and STV Player.

Coronation Street fans 'rumble' who Floyd phoned about Lisa in 'Tia twist'
Coronation Street fans saw Lisa Swain's therapist Floyd making a 'suspicious' phone call about her after their session on the ITV soap, and fans think it's linked to Tia Wardley Therapist Floyd on Coronation Street may have some explaining to do after a "suspicious" phone call. Now, some fans think they have figured out who he was on the phone to in a cryptic chat after a therapy session with Lisa Swain. It could be a mystery new character if fans are correct, with viewers now suspecting Floyd could be corrupt. It comes as Carla Connor was snooping into the death of partner Lisa's ex-wife Becky Swain, who died in the line of duty years earlier. Lisa is also digging into the police officer's death, and she tearfully confessed to Floyd on Friday that she believed her wife may have been in trouble, amid continuing mystery surrounding what led to her death. As she confessed her fears, explaining that the Radcliffe brothers had implied there was more to what happened to her, she admitted her daughter Betsy Swain had visited one of them, Logan, for answers. But Floyd suggested to her the pair may just be trying to get to her. He asked her if she truly thought her wife was corrupt, or maybe Logan and Matty Radcliffe were lying because they had a grudge against her after their recent arrests. Lisa appeared to come around to the latter idea, while she admitted "you never truly know anyone". As the session ended, Floyd checked in with her and she said: "Maybe you're right," questioning if she'd "been kidding herself" as Floyd seemed keen for her not to believe Becky was corrupt. It's then as Lisa left the room that Floyd got his phone out and called a mystery person. He told the mystery caller: "I think I made a breakthrough with Swain." So was he calling someone to let them know Lisa may drop the Becky case? Was it Costello, who was seen on his phone after? Was it the person who later told a prisoner to attack Logan after his comments to Carla? Viewers even wondered if it was the mystery Tia Wardley, the name Logan gave to Carla. One fan said: "I think we were meant to believe Floyd was ringing Costello after Lisa's therapy session but what if it was this Tia Wardley??" Another fan said: "Costello." A third fan posted: "Floyd the therapist is compromised, he's part of the it! Costello sent him to shut Lisa down and stop her digging into Becky." Another viewer said: "Who was Floyd on the phone to - was it Costello?"

Coronation Street's next landlady 'revealed' as returning legend ahead of Jenny's exit
Corrie's Sally Ann Matthews announced recently that she's leaving the ITV soap and there's now speculation that a returning star could take over as the owner of the Rovers Return The next owner of the Rovers Return on Coronation Street will reportedly be a returning character. The news comes after it was announced that actor Sally Ann Matthews, who plays landlady Jenny Connor, is set to leave the ITV show. It's been claimed that former cast member Catherine Tyldesley, 41, will be reprising her role as Eva Price, who will take over the pub. It would mark her return after a seven year absence, with her last seen in Weatherfield in 2018. Catherine is said to begin filming her return later this month ahead of viewers seeing the scenes in the autumn. It comes after ITV fans accuse Alan Titchmarsh of 'ruining' garden as foster parents were left sobbing. READ MORE: Top Gear host admits he 'never got along' with Jeremy Clarkson as he makes bold statement Catherine has reportedly been persuaded to return with the promise of major storylines for her character. Eva was last seen on the show in 2018 when she left Weatherfield in a taxi for a new life in France with her daughter Susie. According to the Sun, Catherine agreed to return to Corrie earlier this year. The outlet adds that she is due to start filming Eva's comeback next week and her first scenes are then expected to be broadcaster sometime in the autumn. A source said: "It's one of the biggest jobs in soap, the landlady of the Rovers Return pub." They further told the outlet: "Bosses were desperate to get Cath back. They came up with the perfect storyline with her being unveiled as the new landlady of the Rovers." It comes following speculation that Eva would return earlier this year. It was reported in February that Catherine would be back on the show, with it suggested that the proposal had been "too good of an opportunity to pass up". The actor had previously teased over potentially returning. Whilst on Good Morning Britain just last year, after sparking rumours after reuniting with former co-stars for a birthday celebration, she shared: "I mean, never say never!" The news of her apparent return this year comes after the latest departure from the cast was announced this week. It was revealed that Sally, 54, who returned in 2015 after a more than 20 year absence, is leaving once again. She shared the news on Instagram just days ago. Sally, who made her debut as Jenny in 1986, told fans that she hadn't expected to stay for a decade when she returned. She however said that she wants to take on other roles. Sally said in her post earlier this week: "I was supposed to stay for five months but ended up doing an extra ten years because I loved it so much. It's time though to play those parts I always hoped I would when I'd 'grown up'. Thanks Trafford Wharf Rd for the memories and endless laughter."

Love Island couple ordered to leave the villa just hours before the big ITV final
Two Love Island stars are voted out of the villa by their former islanders in one of the most dramatic dumpings of the series so far, as ex-contestants 'don't hold back' As we get ready for the semi-final of one of the most dramatic series of Love Island yet, two more islanders will be brutally dumped from the villa as they get voted off by their former friends and foes, who aren't holding back. One couple won't be making it to the final of the show, as ITV 's latest teaser revealed a dramatic scene showing all the former islanders returning to the iconic villa one last time to make a huge decision. ITV took to Instagram to share the short clip from Sunday evening's episode, along with the caption: "First look! Ex-Islanders return for a savage dumping, and they're not holding back." Maya Jama appears to have returned to Mallorca one last time as she gets ready for the final and is seen entering the villa to announce the latest twist. After a dramatic slow-motion walk into the villa, the presenter announces: "Hello, hello, hello. Are you alright my loves? How was the dates? Are you all loved up? Well I have some very important news. Can you come and join me on the lawn?" The remaining islanders are Yas and Jamie, Cach and Toni, Harry and Shakira, Ty and Angel and Meg and Dejon. Maya informs them: "Well today, one more couple will be dumped from the Love Island villa and that decision will be made by some very familiar faces." The returning islanders included Sophie Lee, who entered at the start of the series and was the first to be dumped on day two. Viewers will also see the return of Tommy, who was previously one of the favourites to win the show but was dumped by Shakira. The latest teaser sent fans into a frenzy with many of them predicting who will be the couple dumped. One viewer commented: 'Sorry, but after Thursday and Friday, it's gotta be Meg and Dejon. Their time is up', while another added: 'Harry & Shakira.. your time is up!' A third shared their thoughts and wrote: 'For all the years of watching Love Island, it's my first time feeling this nervous about the finals. I swear my anxiety level is through the roof'. One fan stated: 'Do the right thing and only let Yas, Jamie, or Cach near that money for goodness sake', while another penned: 'I swear if Shakira, Toni, or Yaz go home, I might have to have some therapy sessions' Only time will tell how the voting is going to go down and which islanders will say their final goodbyes! Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
