Returning to the show are judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace, who have been part of the hit programme since it's revival in 2005.
But despite their inimitable on-screen chemistry, rumour has it that they're notreallyfriends – awkward.
"It’s funny, we’ve never been friends... We’ve not been to each other’s houses," said John in 2017.

"If we go away to somewhere like South Africa, we do things separately... If we do go out for a drink, I’ll invariably be at one end of a big old table and he’ll be at the other."
Although it's not clear whether John was having us all on, as Greg has given a rather different account.
"I have a very close relationship with John," he said. “People don’t realise how close we are – he was my best man – he’s close to me 7/8 months of the year. What’s great about the partnership is that if one of us is down the other perks us up.
“We’re very close to each other physically and emotionally. We trust each other."
Awhhh... we think?
