The Dragons’ Den alum has signed up for a spot on Cooking With The Stars, The Sun can revealCredit: HandoutNow Kelly Hoppen is set to showcase her culinary skills in Emma Willis’ show, Cooking With The Stars.
The Sun can exclusively reveal the businesswoman, who was open about her battle with breast cancer in 2023, has signed up to the series which pairs celebs with top chefs to whip up high-class grub.
A source told us: “Kelly was loved by fans for her fiery nature on Dragon’s Den but for her new series, the tables will be turned.
“Viewers will see a different side to her as she’ll be the one put through her paces to cook to restaurant level standard.
“Will she be able to handle the heat in the kitchen? She’s pals with the Beckhams and with David being a foodie, maybe he can give some advice.
“Or her mate Gordon Ramsay could offer a few pointers.
“Either way it’s set to be a huge signing for the ITV series.”
The Sun previously exclusively reported how TOWIE alum Jess Wright had also signed up for the new series.
Hopefully the dup will both fare better than former Countdown co-host Carol Vorderman, who left fans “vomiting” during the 2024 season.
FIERY EXITKelly announced in 2015 that she was leaving Dragon’s Den after two seasons because she was too busy to commit to the filming schedule.
“It has been a privilege to be part of a programme which champions entrepreneurs,” she said.
“I will miss my fellow judges and I’m sure someone amazing will fill my seat. I wish everyone on the show the best luck.
“What’s left to say, but ‘I’m out.'”
CELEB MATESSpice Girl Victoria, 51, previously gave a glimpse into the £31million home she shares with hubby David, 50, and their kids – and which was designed by her pal Kelly.
When the family lived in LA, after Becks’ signing at LA Galaxy, Kelly was also on hand to style their American pad.
She has also curated the singer-turned-fashion-designer’s New York shows.
Previously, a source told The Mirror: “Victoria loves Kelly’s taste and knows she can trust her to do the best job.
“Kelly is well known for working with block, neutral colours – shades of beige, cream, white and grey – and creating a calming, harmonious atmosphere.
“Kelly also pays huge attention to detail to create just the right relaxing ambience.”
