Over the last week, John Torode and Gregg Wallace have been back on our TV screens putting a brand new bunch of celebrities through their culinary paces. Twenty famous faces, such as stage and screens performers, musicians and singers, sporting stars and TV personalities, are all hoping they've got what it takes to be crowned Celebrity MasterChef 2022 winner - but only one can be crowned the winner.
The competition is taking place over six weeks as the judges whittle down the contestants and the top two cooks from each heat go through to the semi-final. Last week, the first round of heats got underway and McFly's Danny Jones, Love Island star Faye Winter, entertainer Paul Chuckle, comedian Kae Kurd and media personality Nancy Dell'Olio were all put under the pressure.
In the end, it was singer Danny and reality TV star Faye who grabbed the two places in the semi-final after Paul Chuckle was eliminated. This week, five new stars are heading into the kitchen to compete for two more spots in the Celebrity MasterChef semi-final.
But when is the second round of heats being broadcast and which celebrities will be taking part this week. Here are the details you need to ensure you don't miss an episode:
