The series follows the celebs as they compete in a series of cooking battles and are trained and mentored by professionals to produce restaurant quality dishes.
And this year’s chefs include Rosemary Shrager, Michelin Starred French chef Jean-Christophe Novelli and award-winning chef Ellis Barrie.
Ahead of the new series Emma said: ‘Filming Cooking With The Stars is always a highlight for me as not only do Tom and I have lots of fun but we also get to try some phenomenal food.
We have a great cast this season, who will no doubt be feeling the pressure as they head into the kitchen. We’ve seen blood, sweat and tears on the previous series and I’m sure this series will be no exception!’
Tom Allen said: ‘A whole lot of great food, celebs reaching boiling point plus Emma Willis and me holding court – sounds like my dream party’.
Last month Emma stripped naked for a daring snap on Instagram after her husband, Matt, shared a touching tribute to celebrate Mother’s Day.
Showing off his wife’s pamper session, the former pop star gushed over his partner, labelling her a ‘natural born bad a** mother’.

She tied her brunette locks up into a messy bun and smiled at the camera as she relaxed.
Penning the post, Matt wrote: ‘Happy Mother’s Day beautiful girl.
‘You know exactly how to do this stuff! You are a natural born bad a** mother!!!’

Giving her 1.8million Instagram followers a sneak peak into her special day, Emma posted a selfie of her wearing a tiara.
