TV legend Paul Chuckle aiming to cook up a storm on Celebrity Masterchef
A COMEDY legend will be returning to TV sets this summer in an all-star line-up to deliver some mouth-watering food.
Rotherham’s very own Paul Chuckle (74) will be taking part in Celebrity Masterchef 2022 alongside some very familiar faces to win the iconic competition.
He will be hoping to “sizzle and slice” some amazing food whilst trying to impress judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace along the way.
There are 20 celebrities competing to be crowned champions with Paul coming up against the likes of former World Boxing champion Chris Eubank, presenter and musician Gareth Malone OBE, former pro-footballer Jimmy Bullard and TV presenter Kirsty Gallacher.
Paul made his name alongside his brother, Barry, as one half of the comedy duo the Chuckle Brothers — but are his cooking skills as good as his entertaining skills?
The competition will be taking place over six weeks on BBC from August 9.
Sarah Clay, commissioning editor for the BBC, said: “This line-up will absolutely cement Celebrity MasterChef as one of the nation's most loved cookery programmes, with a lot of laughter alongside fierce competition guaranteed.
“The level of cooking is fantastic this year and you can really see how much it means to them all.”
