Soapstar Superstar

Soapstar Superchef was a cooking show on the ITV Network, where soap stars from Coronation Street , EastEnders , Emmerdale , Hollyoaks (and Hollyoaks: In the City ) and Neighbours competed to be crowned "kings" or "queens" of the kitchen.

Contents

Their culinary efforts were judged by an expert panel of three judges. Each judge gave a mark out of ten, and the teams were able to gain extra points by answering questions about a short clip from their rivals' soap.

Each team cooked twice and their points from both episodes were added together and the two teams with the highest totals competed head-to-head to win the show.

The show was hosted by Richard Arnold, known as GMTV's TV critic, and Nicki Chapman, an English television presenter who also worked in the British pop music industry. [1]

Mathew Bose and Hayley Tamaddon were crowned Soapstar Superchefs on Friday 13 April 2007. [2]
