Marco Pierre White will sort the winners from the wannabes on this season of Hell’s Kitchen as 10 Australian celebrities display their culinary skills (or lack thereof).
While Bachelorette star Sam Frost and Geordie Shore’s Gaz Beadle have had a taste of reality TV before, we get the idea they may have bitten off more than they can chew with Marco calling the shots.
Get to know the contestants below and tune in for episode one at 7pm on Sunday on Channel 7.
