We've been wondering about what's happening with Come Dine With Me South Africa because things have been very silent with it... until now.

It's back! - yaydom - for a six episode celebrity season starting in November this year. There have been schleb episodes in the past but this is the first season that's featured them each episode.

They'll be competing for R10,000 to donate to a charity of their choice.

The same R10,000 that's been the prize forever. It's dated now - it needs to go up. R15,000 at least, but R20,000 would be ideal.

Rapid Blue's producing as per and these are the competing schlebs:

Alphi Mkhwanazi - TV presenter

Brent Lindeque - Good Things Guy founder

Carol Tshabalala - First Lady of Sport

Holly Rey - award-winning singer

Jonathan Roxmouth - musical theatre star

Karabo Ntshweng - radio presenter

Karabo Poppy - internationally acclaimed illustrator

Lasizwe - digital entertainer

Lethabo "LeJoy" Mathatho - broadcaster

Linda Mtoba - actress

Mampho Brescia - actress

Mojak Lehoko - comedian

Moshe Ndiki - TV personality

Moonchild Sanelly - musician

Nianell - singer-songwriter

Olwethu Leshabane - entrepreneur and author

Phylicity Reeken - radio presenter

Primo Baloyi - digital entertainer

Tarina Patel - media personality

Tumisho Masha - actor

Vanes-Mari du Toit - former Proteas netball star

Varushka Singh - former Mrs SA

Yanda Woods - content creator

Zandi Nhlapo - media personality

Let's hope they aren't too "I love myself a LOT" annoying.

To be fair, they haven't been in the previous celebrity episodes so there's hope and there's narrator Dave Lamb who'll give them a roasting. Yum.

We'll keep you posted once the premiere date's confirmed.
