Lights, camera, and let's cook! Málaga is part of the new MasterChef Celebrity project, which is reinventing itself for its tenth anniversary. The popular culinary talent show on La 1 introduces 'Legends', which will gather some of the most charismatic celebrities who have participated in the various editions.

The gardens of the old Tabacalera are the setting this Thursday for a program that will be broadcast in the coming months. Curiosity and anticipation were in the air amid the numerous cameras, tents, and staff accompanying this production by Shine Iberia (Banijay Iberia), where banners with the emblem of the well-known TV show could be seen from afar.

Presenters Pepe Rodríguez, Marta Sanahuja, and Jordi Cruz aroused the interest of the attendees, and even more so when it was revealed that actor Antonio Banderas was the special guest of the day. The Malagueño was greeted with applause and hugs by the jury and contestants, whom he encouraged.

For this MasterChef Celebrity Legends, 15 popular faces who have already been through the kitchens will participate. They did not win the final victory but they did leave a mark, hence they have been brought back for this celebration. In Málaga, the bullfighter Manuel Díaz 'El Cordobés', the comedian and actor Edu Soto, the model Juan Betancourt, the actress and singer Bibiana Fernández, and the actress and comedian Anabel Alonso were seen. There are also representatives from the world of cinema, such as Santiago Segura, Paz Vega, and actor Juanjo Ballesta. Comedian Florentino Fernández (Flo) is also part of this selection along with David Bustamante, Ruth Lorenzo, Pocholo Martínez-Bordiú, and the TikToker and influencer Marina Rivers. Rap singer Mala Rodríguez and fashion designer María Escoté complete the cast of chosen ones.

This is the second time Antonio Banderas has hosted in Málaga for MasterChef, since he also participated in 2023 at the recording held at La Pérgola del Mediterráneo, a restaurant he is responsible for.
