Soapstar Superchef is a cooking show where some of Britain's most popular soap stars from Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks and Neighbours battle it out for the chance to be crowned kings or queens of the kitchen.

But first their culinary efforts must be judged by an expert panel who won’t be happy with a pie crust crack or tough lamb rack. The three judges each give a mark out of ten, and the teams are able to gain extra points by answering questions about a short clip from their rivals' soap.

Each team cooks twice and their points from both of their shows are added together and the two teams with the highest totals will go head-to-head to win the show.

The show has been panned by critics, mainly as they feel ITV are milking the format of celebrity reality shows.

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

Soapstar Superchef airs weekdays at 5pm, on ITV1.
