While the full line-up is yet to be revealed, a handful of names have come to the fore – including Sam Fox, Go Compare’s Wynn Evans, Dianne Buswell, and Jamelia.

And now some more names have been thrown into the MasterChef mix, including Love Island star Luca Bish.
From reality stars to soap stars, Emmerdale actress Amy Walsh will also be trying her hand at cooking skills on the hit show, judged by Gregg Wallace and John Torode.
DJ Locksmith is another new sign up, who is part of the drum and bass band Rudimental.
And Rupaul’s Drag Race star Cheryl Hole is another exciting sign up who fans will catch on this year’s series.
A source told The Sun: “Bosses are really excited about this year’s line-up and think it’s one of the strongest yet.
“There is somebody for all fan bases, from Love Island and Drag Race stars to pull in younger audiences to 80s legends that will please anyone looking for a bit of nostalgia.
“There are some more big names to come too.”
Yesterday it was revealed that Wynne Evans had landed a spot on the new series.
A source said: “Wynne has signed up to Celebrity Masterchef and wants to finish on a high note.
“Fans of the show will be getting to see the real Wynne and not his character Gio Compario who they are used to seeing on the Go Compare adverts.
“Wynne has a show on BBC Radio Wales and is a big hit with listeners – so the Beeb wanted to try him out on a big show like Masterchef.
“He isn’t the best cook in the world but Wynne is no novice in the kitchen and will be bringing a touch of Welsh influence to his dishes.”
Meanwhile, Dianne is following in the footsteps of her Strictly co-stars Katya Jones and Oti Mabuse, who have both previously taken part.
A television insider told The Sun: “Strictly stars always seem to be popular with MasterChef producers, not to mention the viewers at home.”
Dianne may be giving Wynne and Jamelia a run for their money – as she revealed earlier this year that she is a dab hand in the kitchen.
She said: “When I get time, I absolutely love to cook.”
