The 'Voice' host and comedian will be joined by eight famous faces on the upcoming 'Celebrity MasterChef' rival, which will see the stars matched with a chef who will train them to restaurant standard.

The chefs will judge the celebrities, with the bottom two at risk of departing the competition, while during blind testing in the eliminator round, the judges have the option to vote out their own celebrity contestant.

Emma, 45, said: "I absolutely love cooking so I can't wait to see the celebrities in the kitchen showing what they have or haven't learnt.

"What a brilliant opportunity to be trained by some of the best chefs in the business and I'm hoping I can pick up a few tips too.

"I know it's going to be a lot of fun hosting with the brilliant Tom Allen so I can't wait to get started."

'An Extra Slice' host Tom, 37, said: "I'm absolutely delighted to be working with Emma and an amazing team of chefs and celebrities.

"I have a feeling everyone's going to be put through their paces but we're going to have a lot of fun along the way."

Katie Rawcliffe, head of entertainment commissioning at ITV, added: "This series is set to combine all the ingredients to deliver great entertainment, cooking inspiration, a lively competition and fantastic hosts in Emma Willis and Tom Allen.

"The past year has seen the nation developing their home cooking skills more than ever and now we'll get to see how well our celebrity line-up can cook with the guiding hand of expert mentors."

'Cooking With The Stars' is due to hit ITV this summer.
