Masterchef is one of the longest-running and most popular television formats on the small screen. The culinary talent of Spanish Television began its television career in 2013, and to date, it has managed to broadcast twelve editions of anonymous people, eight of celebrities and ten of children. At the moment, there are no plans for the public channel to want to do without a format that has given it such good results.

For this reason, the public corporation decided to train on April 1 the twelfth edition of its star program, in which one of the candidates will become the winner of the edition and will lift the Masterchef Spain trophy.

However, the Shine Iberia machinery, producer of culinary talent, continues to operate at full speed, and the program team is already preparing the new celebrity edition. In order to begin recording, the production company needs to close the casting of the celebrities who will fight in the Masterchef kitchens.

As revealed this Wednesday by the El Televisero portal, Pocholo Martínez-Bordiú will be one of the contestants in the ninth edition of the contest. His signing for the Spanish Television La 1 program comes months after rumors that the aristocrat was going to participate in other Telecinco contests, such as Dancing with the Stars and GH VIP 8.

In this way, the businessman returns once again to television after participating in Hotel Glam in 2003, in Adventure in Africa, a reality show on Antena 3 presented by Paula Vázquez in 2005, and in Come to dinner with me: Gourmet Edition on Cuatro , and after starring in his own documentary in La Sexta, Pocholo Ibiza 06.

At the moment, Pocholo Martínez-Bordiú is the only name that has been revealed on the new edition of the Spanish Television cooking show and everything indicates that as the weeks progress, new names will come to light. The last time we saw the businessman on television was during the last edition of Survivors, where his nephew, Bosco Martínez-Bordiú, managed to win a very tight final duel against Adara Molinero.
