TV Tonight: Cooking with the Stars Final 2023
theversion.co Samia Longchambon, Joanna Page and Peter Andre will all compete to win Cooking with the Stars 2023, tonight at 9pm on ITV1.
In the last episode of the current series, Emma Willis and Tom Allen preside over things as the three celebrity finalists do battle.
Throughout the series the finalists, together with five more celebrities have been guided by their Chef Mentor as they attempt to create the winning dish in a series of intense Cooking Battles. The loser of each Battle had to fight for their place in the competition in the Cook Off – as they're tasked with creating a dish they’ve never seen before.
The professional chefs taking part in this year’s series are British chef and TV presenter Rosemary Shrager (partnered with Peter Andre), chef director Jack Stein (partnered with Chris Eubank), Michelin Starred French chef Jean-Christophe Novelli (partnered with Samia Longchambon), Scottish chef and restaurateur Tony Singh MBE (partnered with Claire Richards), Michelin Starred executive chef Michael Caines MBE (partnered with Joanna Page), restauranter and cookery author Shelina Permalloo (partnered with Matt Willis), chef & restauranteur April Jackson (partnered with Jason Watkins) and award-winning chef Ellis Barrie (partnered with Indiyah Polack).
Explaining why he signed up for the show, Peter Andre said “It’s quite a simple reason - this year I’m celebrating 30 years in the entertainment industry and I’m also 50. And because of those two milestones I want to tick off some things on the bucket list. One of them is to do an album, one of them is to do a film which I started over a year ago, and one of them was to do a cooking show. Masterchef has very kindly approached us a few times in the past and I was always too scared. I heard about the concept of this show and that you have a chef guiding you and you get to call them in and whatever happens you’re going to learn all these magnificent things. I knew it was going to be tough because there are going to be people who cook at home and who have cooked a lot more”.
Before filming the series, Joanna Page said “I’d like to say that I was but deep down I know that I don’t have the skill to get to the final. I think now instinctively I am quite good now and I’m enjoying this. I know my limit but also I’m competitive so I’m like ‘You get going as far as you can.’ I’m not going to give up, I’m just going to go as far as I can. It’s quite hard because I am competitive so I obviously want to win but I know I won’t because you’ve got cracking cooks here. But you never know!”
Indeed Joanna! Catch up on ITVX.
