The cookery show's seventh run, hosted as usual by Gregg Wallace and John Torode, will play out in an early evening slot on BBC Two.
A total of 16 celebrities will battle across 30 weeks of cooking challenges, culminating with the gruelling Critics' Table and final cook off.
Gareth Gates, Bucks Fizz member Cheryl Baker, Footballers' Wives actress Laila Rouass and Jamie Theakston are among the series' most high-profile stars.
Richard McCourt, better known as Dick from CBBC's Dick and Dom in da Bungalow, will also compete on the programme, as well as Michael Underwood, George Layton, Emma Kennedy, Zoe Salmon, Jenny Eclair and Javine.
Famous Olympians Steve Parry and Rebecca Romero and former England footballer Danny Mills make up the lineup.
Previous winners include Lisa Faulkner, Jayne Middlemiss, Liz McClarnon, Nadia Sawalha and Matt Dawson. Phil Vickery won Celebrity MasterChef last year.
