Cooking with The Stars

ITV, with co-funding by Marks & Spencer, has commissioned South Shore to deliver a six-part brand-new entertainment cooking competition called Cooking With The Stars.

The series, transmitting over the Summer on ITV and the ITV Hub, will feature eight celebrities, each paired with an accomplished chef who will mentor, teach and take them from passionate amateur to restaurant level chefs.

TV Presenter Emma Willis and comedian Tom Allen are set to host the series where the celebrities will be cooking up a storm week by week in a bid to outdo their rivals.

Trained by their professional chef partner they’ll prepare and present their dishes for judgement. Their mentor chefs then become judges, rating the other celebrity cooks, with the bottom two at risk of leaving the competition. Should they end up in the bottom two the celebrities will be fighting for their place in the contest on their own, with no help from their teacher, as they each present a dish in the hope of saving their spot. This eliminator round is decided by a blind testing from the chefs; Unaware of whose food they’re passing judgement over, the greatest supporter could swiftly and unwittingly become the worst critic and vote for their protégé to leave the competition.
