After making it all the way to the final of last year's Celebrity MasterChef, before losing out to Lisa Snowdon, McFly's Danny Jones has obviously been seriously bitten by the cooking bug. This summer he's doing the double, both performing and cooking when he joins up with Tom Kerridge for this year's Pub in the Park tour.
The McFly guitarist will be in London for two dates on the tour - cooking live on stage on opening night in Wimbledon with Sunday Brunch's Simon Rimmer. Then, later on, he'll be both cooking and performing with his band at Pub in the Park in Chiswick.
"I can’t wait to combine my first love with my newest passion," the musician said. "I’m so excited to get stuck in whizzing up some banging recipes with amazing chefs."
As ever, there will be plenty of interesting restaurants taking part in the festival. Those already signed up include both of Tom Kerridge’s Michelin-starred pubs The Hand and Flowers and The Coach, along with Atul Kochhar Restaurants, Berber & Q, Tapas Brindisa and Hoppers.
The musical line-up's been announced too with headline acts ranging from the Sugababes and Bananarama through to Tinie Tempah, The Jacksons and Clean Bandit.
