Celebrity Masterchef: Peterborough Paralympic champion Lauren Steadman goes for glory on BBC1 show
Peterborough Paralympic champion Lauren Steadman will be looking for another trophy to add to her glittering collection of awards – as she competes in the Celebrity Masterchef final on BBC1 on Friday evening (September 18).
Lauren – who won gold at the Tokyo Paralympics in 2021 in the triathlon – has wowed judges Grace Dent and Giorgio Locatelli with her sensational food throughout the competition.
She will be hoping to beat Olympic weightlifting medalist Emily Campbell, and reality TV star Shakira Khan to lift the title.
Lauren – who was born in Peterborough and went to Great Gidding School and Sawtry Community College – has impressed with her flavours and techniques during the competition.
She is no stranger to success in the world of reality TV, having reached the semi finals of Strictly Come Dancing in 2018, and was one of two finalists in series 2 of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
However, it is her sporting ability that she is best known for – having won a number of other Paralympic medals, three World titles and eight European titles during her incredible career.
The Celebrity Masterchef final is on BBC 1 and the iPlayer from 8pm.
