Blue are the British boyband who dominated the charts ¿ and the hearts of their adoring fans ¿ during the early noughties. They scored three Number 1's, platinum-selling albums, and three chart-topping singles too, amassing 11 UK Top 10s and duetting with legends like Elton John and Stevie Wonder. Now, they're reuniting and getting back to what they do best on tour with Steps. They'll be joining us to share how it feels to be back together.

And they’ll be joined by Blue singer Antony Costa.

An insider revealed Antony, 43, can’t wait to show fans his kitchen skills.

The source said: “Antony is raring to go and excited to show viewers what he’s made of in the kitchen on Celebrity Masterchef.

“He’s done Ready Steady Cook before but this is a whole new ballgame and a lot more pressure.”

A Celebrity MasterChef spokesperson said: “We don’t comment on speculation over the Celebrity MasterChef line-up.”

Antony shot to fame with Blue bandmates Lee Ryan, Simon Webbe and Duncan James in 2000.

They went on to sell more than 15 million records and scored hits including All Rise, Too Close and Guilty.

The group is still performing and last year headed out on the road for their Greatest Hits tour.

And Antony is no stranger to reality TV. In 2005 he took part in I’m a Celebrity before taking to the Dancing On Ice rink a year later.

Earlier this year we revealed Love Island icon Uma, 23, is planning on showing fans a very different side to her in the MasterChef kitchen.


An insider told us: “Uma is a great get for the show, as not only is she stunning, she’s also funny and will appeal to younger viewers.

“It’s also the perfect next step for her career as it introduces her to a whole new audience who may not be familiar with her from Love Island.”
