MasterChef: Eleven celebrities cook for the title

The spin-off of the world’s most successful cooking show “MasterChef” starts on August 31st on Sky One, this time in a “Celebrity” version.

The eleven new one-hour episodes are available every Monday at 20.15:2 p.m. on Sky One, Sky Ticket and on demand. The grand finale will be broadcast in a double episode on November XNUMXnd.

In the cooking show with the motto "culinary journey around the world", prominent amateur chefs compete against each other and fight for the title of "MasterChef Celebrity" and a prize of 25.000 euros, which is donated to a charitable organization. The winner also receives a cover story in the food magazine "Lust auf Genuss".

Competing for the title are singer Beatrice Egli, boxer Susi Kentikian, sex expert Paula Lambert, presenter Panagiota Petridou, presenter Silvia Schneider, entertainer Thomas Hermanns, actor Hardy Krüger Jr., former footballer Hans Sarpei, presenter and actor Jochen Schropp, as well as model Cheyenne Ochsenknecht and her brother actor Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht.

Filming took place both in the studio and at unusual outdoor locations. In “MasterChef Celebrity”, the celebrities face a wide variety of tasks such as team and individual competitions as well as duels.

Their respective dishes will be judged by top chef and new addition to the jury Meta Hiltebrand and the two TV and star chefs Nelson Müller and Ralf Zacherl.

Christian Asanger, Vice President Entertainment at Sky Deutschland, on the importance of the show: "Masterchef is one of the most popular brands on our platform and there is great anticipation for the new season. The success story continues with the celebrity spin-off. Eleven top-class celebrity candidates and three highly qualified judges - this will be a feast for all fans of the format."

The filming of the spin-off “MasterChef Celebrity” was largely carried out without single-use plastic both in front of and behind the camera, and the CO2 emissions from the show production were reduced to a minimum through the use of hybrid and CNG vehicles as well as other measures relating to paper, electricity and waste separation.
