We’re halfway through the heats of Celebrity MasterChef, which means there are still ten celebs waiting to see if they can prove their worth in the kitchen.

So far, four have made it through to the semi-finals: Reverend Richard Coles, Neil Back, Alexis Conran and Tommy Cannon.

Five more familiar faces are about to step into the kitchen to try and impress judges Gregg Wallace and John Torode.

Here are the new set of contestants.

Tina Malone

BBC/Shine TV/Cody Burridge

Actress Tina Malone is best known for her roles as Mimi Maguire in Shameless, Mo McGee in Brookside, and nurse Bobbie from Victoria Wood’s Dinnerladies. She also entered Celebrity Big Brother in 2009, but was evicted early on.

Louise Minchin

BBC/Shine TV/Cody Burridge

The BBC presenter will be most well-known to BBC Breakfast viewers, but she’s also presented on The One Show and the BBC News.

Sid Owen

BBC/Shine TV/Cody Burridge

EastEnders’ Laila Morse, aka Big Mo, didn’t make it through the second heats, but what about Albert Square’s Ricky Butcher? Sid Owen will be trying his hand in the kitchen – and hoping he lasts longer than his stint on The Jump.

Amy Childs

BBC/Shine TV/Cody Burridge

Reality TV veteran Amy Childs is a break-out star of TOWIE, who has since taken on Celebrity Big Brother, The Jump, and Let’s Dance for Sport Relief. Her culinary skills remain to be tested.

Liz Johnson

Paralympian Liz Johnson won gold swimming medals at Beijing in 2008, and got bronze at London 2012. She has now retired from competitive swimming.
