Christopher Biggins wasn’t bothered about winning when he filmed Cooking With The Stars. The panto legend signed up to compete against a raft of other celebrities on the ITV contest.
But Biggins is not keen on cooking and wasn’t hungry for success once the challenges started.
He told me: “My husband Neil does all the cooking in our house. So when I filmed the show, I wasn’t competitive. I don’t get competitive anymore.

Biggins was given telly chef Rosemary Shrager as his mentor.
But that didn’t make it easy for him. He said: “It was very stressful. The stuff you have to get done in the time is absolutely horrific. You have to concentrate.
“But we still had a good time. Rosemary is great. We laughed a lot. It was good fun. I think it’ll be a good watch for everyone.”
Other contestants include presenter Carol Vorderman, Olympian Linford Christie, comic Katherine Ryan and
model Abbey Clancy.

And Biggins struck up a chord with many of them.
He said: “We all laughed a lot together. I really got along with Abbey.
“She is my newest best friend. I’m looking forward to spending more time with her.”
It starts later this month on ITV1.
