EastEnders legend signs up for Celeb MasterChef – and has already filmed the show in secret
AN EASTENDERS star has signed up for Celebrity MasterChef and has already filmed the show in secret, The Sun can reveal.
The actress, who plays an Albert Square legend, is a reality TV regular and competed in Dancing On Ice last year.
She took part in Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer before that and The Masked Singer.
On her cooking skills, Bianca Jackson actress Patsy Palmer said in the past: “Out of ten. I’m going to rate myself a four or five.
"I’ve done three or four birthday cakes, and that’s not many over a number of years.
“And it’s always been from scratch, and not really knowing what I was doing. We didn’t have YouTube videos back then, so it was just from cook books.”

But she is set to slip on her apron once more and be judged by Gregg Wallace and John Torode alongside a new batch of famous faces.
A source told The Sun: “Patsy secretly filmed the show a few weeks back when she was over to film for EastEnders.
“She now cooks a lot at home and her mother in law is a great cook so she’s learned from her.
“She thinks she stands a good chance on the show!”
The Sun has contacted Celebrity MasterChef for comment.
Other names said to have signed up include Ian ‘H’ Watkins from pop band Steps, presenter Edith Bowman plus Radio 1Xtra’s Snoochie Shy.
The Sun also revealed two daytime presenters are joining the pack.
Craig Doyle, who has become a regular fixture on This Morning, has signed up to MasterChef.
The Irishman, 53, will be in good company as Christine Lampard will also put on her apron.
Christine, 45, who is married to football manager Frank Lampard, regularly hosts Loose Women and stands in for Lorraine Kelly on her breakfast show.
They will hop channels to join the line-up of the next celebrity special of the BBC cookery show, which is due to air this summer.
