ITV is reportedly working on a new series called Cooking With The Stars, which is being positioned as a culinary version of Strictly Come Dancing.

ITV is reportedly developing a new primetime cookery series that will see celebrities team up with professional chefs.

Cooking With The Stars is described as "a food version of Strictly Come Dancing" and will see the amateur-and-pro pairs go head to head in the kitchen every week.

"ITV has left alone cookery programmes in primetime until this point," a source close to the project told The Sun.

"But they've seen the success Bake Off has had on Channel 4 and the BBC before that, and also of Mary Berry's Best Home Cook on the Beeb and think there's something they can put together.

"Cookery programmes are a staple of television planning but ITV want to give it a glitzy, shiny floor twist.

"Celebrity participants will be paired up with the best of the culinary world in pairs, like Strictly, and they will fight it out for the crown."

The newspaper says that the show - from Don't Rock The Boat producers South Shore - is being lined up for late summer or early autumn.
