Get ready to don your oven gloves and taking a look at what's cooking ahead of Wednesday's show in this Saturday's Weekend magazine.

We hear what our Mary and Paul have to say about this year's competition and find out what previous winners are doing now.

And from cakes to canals, we're taking to a narrowboat for a proper English adventure! Find out from the people that work along our waterways what they do to keep our historic canals beautiful - from a wildlife expert to the man who helps operate the locks.

Our celebrity interview this week is the very lovely Jimmy Osmond, who looks back on MasterChef and ahead to his forthcoming Andy Williams tribute shows. He tells us about the unusual way he used to make money out of his older brothers too!

In sport this week we chat to bowler Devon Malcolm on the greats who helped make a name for him. He reveals how his rise to the top happened and memorable moments in his career.

We learn what it's like to give blood, and talk to the family of a little boy that has benefited from this selfless act.

There's fashion, food and telly too, so sit back, relax and cruise into the Weekend!
