Soapstar Superchef

The story

Soapstar Superchef was a cooking show on the ITV Network, where soap stars from Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks and Neighbours compete to be crowned "kings" or "queens" of the kitchen.

Their culinary efforts are judged by an expert panel of three judges. Each judge gives 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 episodes are added together and the two teams with the highest totals will go head-to-head to win the show.

The show was 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.

Mathew Bose and Hayley Tamaddon were crowned Soapstar Superchefs on Friday 13 April 2007.
