A second series of Daily Cooks Challenge has been commissioned following the successful first run which aired earlier this year.

Presented by Antony Worrall Thompson, Daily Cooks Challenge sees two of the UK’s top chefs battle it out across a week in a series of daily challenges to win heart, mind and taste buds of a different celebrity guest judge each day.

Some of the chefs taking part in the second series are Brian Turner, Aldo Zilli, Gino D’Acampo, John Burton Race and Jean Christophe Novelli.

Controller of daytime, Adam MacDonald says: “The first series of Daily Cooks Challenge worked a treat in the spring and I’m hugely looking forward to seeing Anthony put our chefs through their competitive paces over an extended summer run”

Todd Austin, creative director at Prospect Pictures says: “I am delighted by the faith the new ITV daytime team have shown in this exciting new food format by more than doubling the number of programmes in its second series. Daily Cooks Challenge is back with more top chefs, more fired-up celebrities and more kitchen challenges than ever.”
