Cooking with the Stars 2022: Is there a release date, will it be available to watch on ITV, who is in the celebrity line up alongside Anton Du Beke and Maura Higgins, and who are the hosts?

Cooking with the Stars is set to return to our screens this year for a new series.

The eight celebrities will be paired with a skilled chef who will mentor and guide them as they learn to cook at a restaurant level.

A selection of dishes will be critiqued by a panel of judges as they perform a blind taste test to see who is the best cook.

The judges will decide who is in the bottom two and the unlucky celebrities will have to serve a dish without their mentor’s help.

The celebrity who fails to impress the judges will be voted off the show.

Cooking with the Stars is a six-part series produced by South Shore and it is co-funded by Marks and Spencer.

But is there a release date for Cooking with the Stars and who are the contestants?
