The Channel 4 cookery show is hosted by Jamie and his childhood best friend Jimmy Doherty, who will spend their winter weekends serving food at their pop-up cafe at the end of Southend Pier.

Jimmy Doherty, Mark Hamill and Jamie Oliver.

Jamie and Jimmy's fifth series will star a dozen famous faces who will each have their chance to choose a recipe. In previous series we've seen Orlando Bloom select a Moroccan Tagine and Hugh Bonneville go for Pad Thai.

Besides Hamill, we'll also get a chance to see Lord of the Rings actress Liv Tyler, Penny Dreadful's Josh Hartnett, and yet another Star Wars actor: Warwick Davies.

Other stars who are getting ready to put on the chef's hat include Simon Pegg, Joanna Lumley, Greg Davis, Johnny Vegas, Craig David and actor/presenter couple Chris and Dawn O'Porter (they only count as one celeb combined).
