In a simple answer, no I'm afraid not. Cooker circuits should be fed individually on there own running back to the distribution board/ consumer unit. Also a local isolation point near to the cooker/Hob is required. Here is a link to some helpful information. https://www.voltimum.co.uk/articles/technical-guide-installing-cooker-circuit
