Gwyneth Paltrow has signed up to present a new US TV series which will look at the food and culture of Spain.

The series will involve Gwyneth travelling around Spain in an environmentally unfriendly fleet of cars for four months, while mounted cameras capture her reactions to the European hotspot.

The programme will be screened on the PBS network in the US in both English and Spanish, while deals to show the serial in Spain and Latin America are being negotiated.
