A HIT CHANNEL 4 show is looking for budding, amateur chefs to take part in a new series.

Come Dine With Me has announced it will start filming for its new Covid-safe series in May this year.

And now the team behind the hit reality show are asking for amazing home cooks and lockdown chefs from Brighton and Hove to apply to take part in the new series.

Sarah Risner, Casting Director for Come Dine with Me, said: "Following the success of previous episodes in Brighton and Hove we are back looking for hosts to create the recipe for success.

“We are looking for keen cooks with bags of energy and who are up for the challenge of winning £1,000.”

The show features four amateur chefs who live in the same town or area, who each host a three-course dinner party for the other contestants at their own home.

Each competitor then rates the host's food and hosting skills during the taxi journey home, with the highest-scoring chef winning £1,000 cash.

Channel 4 has said that in order to comply with coronavirus restrictions, the production team is “shaking up” how it films and will be using a centralised house to host the social dinner parties.

All applicants must be 18 and over and be free to take part in filming between the 24th and 28th May.
