Cooking up a storm! First look at series five of ITV show Cooking With The Stars with Love Island favourite, EastEnders legend and popular radio presenter as part of star-studded cast
Cooking With The Stars is set to return to our screens VERY soon. The show, which first aired back in 2021, will be hosted by none other than Emma Willis and Tom Allen. There have been 24 episodes across four series since then. And fans will be very happy to know that the upcoming fifth series of the programme will hit ITV this Sunday (3 August 2025). The famous faces who are taking part will definitely make the season a good watch as they go head to head in a number of cooking battles. EastEnders legend Natalie Cassidy, 42, who recently quit her role as Sonia Fowler on the BBC show after nearly 32 years, will be taking part. Love Island star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, 30- who first shot to fame in 2018 on the ITV2 show - is another celebrity battling it out for the top spot. Meanwhile Capital Breakfast show radio host Jordan North, 35, is no stranger to a bit of reality television after taking part in I'm A Celebrity back in 2020. So will he be able to cook up a storm in the kitchen? Funnyman and Outnumbered favourite Hugh Dennis, 63, will be taking to the kitchen to show off his best cooking skills. Interiors expert and former Dragon from Dragons' Den Kelly Hoppen, 66, is another celebrity taking part. Media personality Jack Osbourne, 39, son of the late rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, has taken part in various TV shows over the years, including The X Factor, Dancing With The Stars and The Osbournes. Will he be able to impress the judges with his cooking? Former Towie star Jessica Wright, 39, who starred on the programme between 2010 and 2016, is also part of the cast. And will former footballer Shaun Wright-Phillip's stint on the show be as successful as his time on the pitch for the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea and Queens Park Rangers? The show's official press release states: 'Across a series of exciting cooking battles, the show will see eight celebrities go head to head in the kitchen as they attempt to go from passionate amateur cooks to restaurant level chefs. 'Each celebrity will be paired with an accomplished chef who will mentor and teach them to produce delicious dishes that will be judged by the other professionals.' At the end of each instalment, the famous faces who land in the bottom two will have to fight it out. Whoever loses the blind tasting judgment from the professional chefs will be voted out. Speaking ahead of her hosting stint earlier this month, Emma previously said: 'I'm absolutely delighted to be back in the kitchen for another series of Cooking With The Stars. 'Every year our celebrities throw themselves into it, and this new line-up is no exception. 'It's always a mix of nerves, excitement, and a few inevitable kitchen catastrophes which makes for brilliant tele. 'I can't wait for everyone to see what culinary delights (and disasters!) our new batch of stars cook up!' Tom added: 'The sheer nerve of these celebrities to step into our kitchen and attempt culinary greatness (or just, you know, edible food) is truly something to behold! 'I am absolutely delighted to once again join Emma to unleash another season of dazzling triumphs and utterly baffling disasters. 'Get ready for a delicious, slightly burnt and completely fabulous ride – that golden frying pan is waiting.' While director of entertainment and daytime commissioning ITV, Katie Rawcliffe, said: 'We are delighted to bring 'Cooking With The Stars' back for another series. 'The partnership with M&S continues to be a recipe for success, and this year viewers can expect even more surprising culinary transformations and laugh-out-loud moments as a fresh set of celebrities step into the kitchen to show what they can bring to the table.' Cooking With The Stars starts this Sunday the 3rd August at 7pm on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player.

But Shakira's mum (Sukina) and Toni's mum (Leslie) have now deleted their TikTok accounts or made them private before the event takes place. A fan of the show posted on social media site Reddit: "I regularly watch Leslie's (Toni's mum) debrief about the episodes and I noticed she had privatised her account today. "Shakira's mum hasn't but she removed all her debrief videos. "Do we think they were approached by producers to stop making them so they don't influence the upcoming voting for finals?" One fan responded: "My thought is the producers have contacted her and said that her daughter is now in a couple with Harry and it's going to look pretty bad to have videos stating how much she hates him up hahaha." Another added: "I have a comment on her recent video that is still gaining likes but I can't revisit now, so I noticed." "I think yes and I think each got the call to fly to Mallorca for family day," explained another. While a fourth said: "I don't understand how producers have a power over their parents to stop doing something...? "People are not stupid these days to be influenced by some parent... Everyone is free to their own choices. 'Get her out' rant Love Island fans as they call for 'sly' star to be kicked off the show "So are the mums.. If they want to make posts.. So it be!!!" In tonight's episode which is yet to air, Toni is sitting on the terrace, when suddenly, and very unexpectedly, she hears her mum Leslie shout: 'Is Toni here? Where's Toni?' Realising friends and family have come to visit the Villa, Toni races down stairs to greet her mum who has flown in from Florida. Toni's best friend Marielle has also made the trip and she jokes of being in the Villa: 'It's like meeting our Sims in real life!' As they catch up, talk turns to her daughter's romantic relationships in the Villa, with Leslie saying: 'The Harrison thing - I'd love to know what voodoo spell he put on you.' Toni replies: 'Sometimes you have to get burned 150 times before you can't get burnt anymore.' Leslie insists of Cach: 'You have the most amazing man. His morals, his ethics, his calm demeanour when he is confronted with a bad situation… he is my king.' Toni laughingly replies: 'No, he's my king - back off!' But Leslie also has some direct words of advice for another Islander - Harry - before she leaves the Villa. What does Leslie tell him? Meanwhile, Harry's best mate Harry and mum Julia arrive alongside Shakira's sister Shanti and mum Sukina. Cutting to the core of recent issues, Shakira tells her family of Harry: 'I adore him and I really wish I didn't, that's the problem. It would be easier if I hated him, but I don't.' Her mum Sukina says: 'What I will say, with him, he can prove himself to you before he has to prove himself to me.' The other Islanders then watch on tenterhooks as the two families come together at the Firepit. As Harry walks over to the Firepit ready to greet them, Sukina keeps her seat and tells him: 'We're not hugging Harry.' Sukina goes on to add of him ending things with Helena: 'I think the whole of the UK is [surprised]. I'm sorry, but we thought it was 'undeniable' Harry.' How will Harry handle even more pointed questions from Shakira's family and also what will Harry's own mum have to say on the whole situation? 5 As Love Island fans bubble with excitement for tonight's Meet The Parents episode - a mystery arises Credit: Shutterstock Editorial

Dejon's mum Demelza also has some thoughts for her son, saying: 'In the beginning it was like you had verbal diarrhoea. "No mother needs to hear about your threesomes and how much you looooooove sex. I just wanted to go, 'Shut up!' You're a big flirt, didn't know that.' Dejon replies: 'You lot just come in to cook me or what?' Yet, sister Gene insists: 'We've been watching you for the last how many weeks - you need this feedback!' While Dejon gets grilled, Meg directly asks her family 'Does everyone like D or just wary of him?' Next, Jamie's brother Michael and mum Tina arrive with Yasmin's twin sister Zara and mum Mitra. Tina tells Jamie: 'You are her golden retriever to her black cat!' While Zara tells an emotional Yas: 'I'm literally getting stopped, people are coming up to me thinking I'm you. The amount of messages I've got saying, 'Tell your sister she's an icon, she's a legend'.' Harry's best mate Harry and mum Julia arrive alongside Shakira's sister Shanti and mum Sukina as they get straight down to business. Shakira tells her family: 'I adore him and I really wish I didn't, that's the problem. It would be easier if I hated him, but I don't.' In response, Mum Sukina says: 'What I will say, with him, he can prove himself to you before he has to prove himself to me.' Things quickly heat up when the families meet as Harry tries to greet Shakira's family. Sukina keeps her seat and tells him: 'We're not hugging Harry.' Instead, she speaks of Helena: 'I think the whole of the UK is [surprised]. I'm sorry, but we thought it was 'undeniable' Harry.' Time will tell how it all goes down...
