Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Former Made in Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh, ex-EastEnders actor Todd Carty and JB Gill from JLS are among the celebrities set to take part in this year’s Celebrity MasterChef.

Model Jodie Kidd, I’m A Celeb winner Christopher Biggins, Coronation Street’s Ken Morley and actress Leslie Ash will also have their culinary skills examined by hosts John Torode and Gregg Wallace.

In total, 20 famous faces will feature in the new series, with Amanda Burton, Sophie Thompson, Tina Hobley, Alex Ferns, Emma Barton, Kiki Dee, Alison Hammond, Tania Bryer, Russell Grant, Jason Connery, Wayne Sleep, Susannah Constantine and Charley Boorman completing the line-up.

The celebrities will be eliminated during six weeks of challenges before the 2014 champion emerges. They must face restaurant critics, attempt the first Relay Invention Test, cook for past MasterChef victors and feed the ‘Italian cooking mafia’ of Antonio Carluccio, Theo Randall, Giorgio Locatelli and Aldo Zilli.

Past winners have included Jayne Middlemiss, Lisa Faulkner, Liz McClarnon, Phil Vickery and Ade Edmondson.

Ping Coombes won the tenth series of MasterChef with her Malaysian-inspired cooking earlier this month.
