Antony Costa 'joins Celebrity MasterChef lineup'

Antony Costa 'joins Celebrity MasterChef lineup'
Blue singer Antony Costa reportedly joins the lineup for this year's edition of Celebrity MasterChef.

Blue singer Antony Costa has reportedly joined the lineup for this year's edition of Celebrity MasterChef.

A new series of the long-running MasterChef spinoff is currently being filmed, with Grace Dent joining John Torode as a replacement for Gregg Wallace, who stepped down from the franchise last year amid allegations of inappropriate conduct - all of which he denies.

According to The Sun, one of the celebs putting themselves forward for culinary judgment is 43-year-old Costa, making him the third member of the boyband to take part after Simon Webbe in 2016 and Duncan James in 2021.

"Antony is raring to go and excited to show viewers what he's made of in the kitchen on Celebrity MasterChef," a source told the newspaper.

"He's done Ready Steady Cook before but this is a whole new ballgame and a lot more pressure."

Also said to be in the lineup are ex-Love Island star Uma Jammeh and RuPaul's Drag Race UK's Ginger Johnson.
