Formerly a member of Girls Aloud, the singer's signed onto the BBC cookery competition and is hoping to impress both Gregg Wallace and John Torode with her skills, described as "pretty good".

A BBC source said: "Sarah was a great signing for 'Celebrity MasterChef' and certainly brings a bit of glamour with her into the kitchen. She's also a pretty good cook. Everyone loved her on 'Tumble' so we knew she'd also be great for 'MasterChef' and so far she hasn't disappointed."

The 33-year-old singer - who competed on celebrity gymnastics competition 'Tumble' last year - is the first star to be revealed as a competitor on the 10th series of the show, which is currently being filmed.

The source told the Daily Star newspaper: "The celebrity version is being filmed at the moment. There's a lot of secrecy as to who she'll be competing against. But everyone is confident that they've got the mix of celebrities just right."

The 'Can't Speak French' singer will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of actress Sophie Thompson who beat off competition from Charley Boorman and Jodie Kidd to win the series in 2014.
