Christine McGuinness appears in the show alongside other famous faces

Christine McGuinness is one of 20 famous faces making waves on Celebrity Masterchef 2024 on BBC One.

The TV star, who split from Bolton native Paddy McGuinness two years ago, will appear in the series this summer.

McGuinness, 36, from Blackpool, is famous for her appearances on shows such as The Real Housewives of Cheshire and The Real Full Monty. About a year ago, she spoke out in a documentary about autism awareness after being diagnosed with autism later in life.

She is one of 20 famous faces alongside reality TV stars Charlotte Crosby (Geordie Shore) and Chloe Burrows (Love Island), singers Ian ‘H’ Watkins (Steps) and Mutya Buena (Sugababes), and radio stars OJ Borg (BBC Radio 2) and Snoochie Shy (BBC Radio 1Xtra).

Katie Attwood, MasterChef Series Editor, said: “Star-studded MasterChef fans can look forward to a highlight this summer: a star-studded celebrity line-up and the always exciting John (Torode) and Gregg (Wallace) as judges.

“These stars will have to pull out all the stops this year because we’re putting their skills to the test. You don’t want to miss this.”

Sarah Clay, BBC editor, said: “The standard of this competition rises every year, so expect lots of laughter and some rivalry as we face some of the toughest challenges yet.”

“These stars are a brave bunch and they take us on a brilliant journey, all in the hands of our judges John and Gregg.”

The series is scheduled for six weeks this summer and consists of four weeks of preliminary rounds, then quarterfinals, semifinals and finals.

The last winner was singer Wynne Evans and previous winners include soap opera star John Partridge from Radcliffe in 2018.
