Luca Bish took part in Celebrity MasterChef to save cash
The former 'Love Island' star will make his debut in the BBC One show next week when the final round of Heats takes place, and he is keen to "learn how to cook" on the series.
When asked what made him want to do 'Celebrity MasterChef', Luca said: "I wanted to save some money. I keep ordering takeaways!
"I really want to learn how to cook. I'm 23 now so I want to be a bit more independent and I love the reaction you get when you cook a good plate of food for someone."
Luca will take part in the final round of Heats alongside 'Emmerdale' stars past and present Michael Praed and Amy Walsh, rapper and philanthropist Apl.de.Ap, and 'Strictly Come Dancing' pro dancer Dianne Buswell.
Ahead of her 'Celebrity MasterChef' debut, Dianne admitted she is feeling slightly underprepared, and she is planning to "fake it" until she "makes it" on the series.
She said: "I have been extremely busy, so actually, my prep has been little to none, which does terrify me a little bit hearing how much everyone else has done.
"I'm just going to have to fake it until I make it and hope for the best."
What's more, there will be a big soap connection next week when Amy goes head-to-head in the kitchen with her former on-screen father Michael.
She said: "I worked with Michael Praed on 'Emmerdale' years ago - he played my dad.
"We were good friends so when I saw him, that was really lovely.
"But it is a surreal experience. It doesn’t feel like you're on a TV show, it feels really organic and natural."
Michael admitted it was "such a delight" to rub shoulders with Amy in the kitchen.
