Ex-GB Paralympian to appear on Celebrity Masterchef!

The line up for this year's Celebrity Masterchef has been revealed, and there's a former Paralympian involved!

Gaz Choudhry, who was made an amputee at ten years old, was a wheelchair basketball athlete for 15 years before retiring in June last year.

He was selected for Paralympics GB for the 2012 London Games, the 2016 Games in Rio and the delayed 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo.

He is also known for his work as an actor, having played Neel in Extrapolations for one mini series episode in 2023 and as Kai Sabba in the Doctor Who episode The Well earlier this year.

To add to his amazing career, he also received a MBE for his services to wheelchair basketball in Queen Elizabeth II's 2022 Birthday Honours, her last Honours before she passed later that year.

Now, he is set to appear on the new Masterchef series coming up on the BBC this autumn, which was recently given the nod to broadcast following conversations from the celebrity contestants and guests featuring in the Celebrity series following controversy earlier this year. The release date for the series is to be announced soon.
