Paul Chuckle has signed up for ‘Celebrity MasterChef’.

Paul Harman Elliot – who is best known as one half of comedy double act the Chuckle Brothers alongside his late sibling Barry David Elliot aka Barry Chuckle – is looking forward to his next TV stint as a competitor on the BBC One cooking competition, the Daily Star newspaper has exclusively revealed.

Paul, who is a big fan of ‘MasterChef', previously showed off his amateur cooking skills during lockdown when he posted videos of himself on his YouTube channel making a wide range of various dishes such as moussaka and bread and butter pudding.

Paul and Barry - who starred in the BBC children’s programme ‘ChuckleVision’ from 1987 to 2009 - also had their own cooking show called ‘Chucklevision: What’s Cooking’ that first aired back in 1995 and ran for seven series.

Paul lost his brother Barry on 5 August 2018 at the age of 73 to bone cancer and he still misses his brother every day.

The new series of ‘Celebrity MasterChef’ will return to BBC One later in the year and filming is currently underway with Greg Wallace and John Torode judging the contestants.

Other celebrities set to be part of the line-up are retired Fulham footballer Jimmy Bullard, former ‘Coronation Street’ actor Ryan Thomas, 'Strictly Come Dancing' professional Katya Jones and McFly guitarist Danny Jones.

A source previously said: “Danny has been cooking up a storm for Gregg Wallace and John Torode. Fans might not know but he is a pretty decent chef and he is really impressed.

“Obviously the pressure in that kitchen is like nothing Danny has experienced before. But he has really shone.”
