The line-up for Great British Menu 2017 has been revealed and includes Norwich chef Richard Bainbridge.
This year the BBC Two competition will celebrate 140 years of the Wimbledon Championships with a Taste of Summer theme.
Contenders will be challenged to create dishes for a banquet held in the grounds of Wimbledon.
Bainbridge, who owns Benedicts Restaurant in Norwich, will play a crucial role as a Veteran Judge in the series, which is set to air later this year.
The Norwich-based chef previously competed on the show four times, managing to win over the judges with his cooking in 2015.

He said: 'Being asked back to Great British Menu is like a dream come true, I'm super excited, I get to be part of a show I love without all the hard work.
'Every time I entered the show, I'd say 'one day I'll be a judge on here' and slowly but surely I've managed to get there. I can't believe it.'
