Camp icon Su Pollard has reportedly joined the lineup for this year's edition of Celebrity MasterChef.

The 71-year-old is known for appearing in comedies such as Hi-de-Hi! and You Rang, M'Lord? and is also a veteran of the panto circuit, having appeared in over 40 productions.

Filming on the new series began earlier this month, with other rumoured contestants including Mel Sykes, Katie Price and Joe Swash.

"It's a real coup getting Su," a source told The Sun. "We're made up. She'll bring joy to the show."

The new series will air on BBC One later this year.
