Great British Menu 2022 chef line-up: week-by-week

The chef line-up for BBC Two's Great British Menu 2022, which begins on 1 February, is being confirmed week-by-week as the series goes on.

A total of 32 chefs will represent eight different regions or nations, designing dishes to celebrate the history of UK broadcasting across the BBC and other channels.

The latest series will also see a new judging panel. Andi Oliver will remain as host but will be joined by chef Tom Kerridge, restaurateur Nisha Katona and comedian Ed Gamble.

Chefs will compete to win the chance to serve their dish at a banquet at Alexandra Palace in north London attended by famous faces from television and radio. This year's theme celebrates 100 Years of Great British Broadcasting, marking the centenary of the BBC's first radio broadcast in 1922.
