There have been reports of potential stars that look set to appear on the new series of BBC Celebrity MasterChef.

Gregg Wallace stepped away from MasterChef as the BBC investigated complaints of the star allegedly making sexual comments during filming from 13 people over 17 years.

Cumbrian food critic Grace Dent was announced by the BBC as Wallace's replacement in December after he was axed due to his alleged behaviour.

Wallace's lawyers were quoted by the BBC as saying: "It is entirely false that he engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature."

Speaking to Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard on This Morning back in December, Grace confessed it was a "dream come true" to be asked to fill Wallace's shoes.

These are the stars rumoured to be taking part in the BBC show, according to The Sun.

BBC have no comment on the line-up rumours.

The TV personality is reportedly swapping the heat of the Mallorcan sunshine for the Celebrity MasterChef kitchen, according to the newspaper.

She first made a splash in the reality TV world on Love Island last year as the first bombshell of the 2024 summer series.

At the time, she said she was heading onto the show because: "Now is a good time for me, I’m young. I’ve been single for my whole life, it’s about time I’m not single anymore. I’m ready for a boyfriend!"
