Nigella Lawson watch out – chat show host Jonathan Ross could be turning his hand to a different type of cookery show.

According to British Comedy Guide, ITV is piloting The Jonathan Ross Cookery Panel Show, in which two rival teams of celebrity contestants are grilled on their knowledge of food.

The contestants will also be assessed on their skill preparing the food and “their courage when it comes to what they will or won’t put in their mouths”.

It will be based “around the art of food, the skill of cooking and the enormous fun of eating”.

The trial episode was being filmed at ITV’s The London Studios.

Chat show host Jonathan joined ITV from the BBC four years ago.
