Adele Silva joining 'Hell's Kitchen'

Former Emmerdale star Adele Silva has been signed up for the new series of Hell's Kitchen.

The 26-year-old actress, best known for her role as Kelly Windsor on the ITV1 soap, will appear alongside nine other celebrity contestants, including pop star Lee Ryan and comic Jim Davidson.

An insider told The Sun: "We always like to have a gorgeous girl in the kitchen. Let's hope the lads can keep their eyes on what they're doing - we wouldn't want any accidents."

The show's new head chef Marco Pierre White has already warned that the trainees will have to work hard to impress him, adding that viewers can expect "tears", "laughter" and "fights".

Hell's Kitchen begins tomorrow at 9.00pm on ITV1.
