Olivia Attwood to front new reality TV cooking show

The Heat will take place in Barcelona and involve 10 chefs working under Michelin star chef Jean-Christophe Novelli, as he tries to find the next rising star for his new restaurant in the Spanish city. The show, which will be broadcast on ITV2 and ITVX next year, is not a straightforward cooking competition, as each day the cameras will keep rolling once the cast have finished in the kitchen. Viewers can expect promotions, demotions, power plays, sackings and shock decisions throughout the series, according to producers. Attwood, who has presented a number of documentaries for ITV, said: 'It is such an honour to host this brand-new format for ITV2 and ITVX. Being at the helm of something this fresh and exciting is a total pinch-me moment!' Novelli, who has previously appeared as a judge on Masterchef Australia, said: 'I couldn't be more thrilled to join this new exciting show and help spotlight the next generation of culinary talent. 'Known for my drive and intensity in the kitchen, I'll be using my passion and unique teaching style to push these young chefs to dig deep, stay sharp, and prove they have what it takes to grow, evolve, and make their mark. 'I'll mentor them to use all five senses together and put it all on the plate, the right way. It's going to be a wild ride, and I know we'll discover some true culinary stars along the way.' Paul Mortimer, director of reality commissioning and acquisitions at ITV, said: 'The Heat is the perfect fusion of a high-stakes cooking show with real-life drama, and with the fantastic Olivia at the forefront alongside the renowned Jean-Christophe calling the shots in the kitchen, it's shaping up to be a new reality obsession for our younger viewers on ITV2 and ITVX.' The Heat is produced by Twofour, part of ITV Studios for ITV.

Coronation Street's Lisa moves on in early ITVX release but a dark secret looms

Lisa Swain is ready to move on (Picture: ITV) This article contains spoilers for tonight's Coronation Street, which has not yet aired on TV but is available to watch now on ITVX. Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) made the enormous decision to look to the future in tonight's Coronation Street after a breakthrough in therapy – but is the past really dead and buried? The detective sergeant has been fixated on finding out what really happened to late wife Becky Swain over the past few months, after revealing that she was being investigated for corruption before her death. All of the mystery surrounding Becky's death has taken a toll on Lisa, especially since Craig Tinker's death brought back so many memories. After making a mistake at work, Lisa was ordered to undergo a course of therapy, and after much resistance she finally began to open up in her most recent session. She told her therapist that she was concerned that Becky really was corrupt, and got upset as she questioned how much she really knew her, before realising that all of her current issues stem from Becky's death. Lisa made a breakthrough in her therapy session (Picture: ITV) Determined that she had to know the truth one way or another, Lisa went snooping through DI Costello's emails for any trace of Becky, though it wasn't long before she was caught. Costello was furious at her breach of conduct, but was willing to let it slide provided she stop looking into Becky's corruption, assuring her that there was nothing in it. However, Lisa was horrified to see that Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) had also requested access to Becky's files and wasted no time in confronting him to warn him off. At home, Lisa confided in Carla Connor (Alison King) that she didn't want to be around liars, only to discover that Carla herself had been hiding something. Lisa was desperate for answers (Picture: ITV) When Lisa stumbled across Carla's online search for a woman called Tia Wardley, Carla was forced to explain that she had visited Logan Radcliffe in prison, against Lisa's wishes. Carla offered Logan money in exchange for information, and as a token of good faith he gave her a name. However, Carla explained to a betrayed Lisa that the search had led nowhere, which led Lisa to wonder if there wasn't anything to find because Becky had been innocent all along. Deciding to put the speculation behind her, Lisa took off Becky's wedding ring and told Carla that she was ready to move forward and fully devote herself to their relationship. Carla Connor went against Lisa's wishes (Picture: ITV) Unfortunately, there may still be secrets bubbling below the surface, as Logan faced a menacing visitor in his prison cell. The fellow inmate told him that their 'mutual friend' wasn't happy about what he'd spilled to Carla, before shutting them both in the cell. Could Becky have really been involved in something dodgy, and is Logan set to pay the price for pointing Carla in the right direction? And is Lisa truly set to move on, or will she be dragged back into the mystery of Becky's death?

Coronation Street legend AXED after 39 years as one in ten cast face chop

CORONATION Street star Sally Ann Matthews has been axed from the soap 39 years after joining the soap. The actress - who plays Jenny Connor in the ITV soap - has been left devastated by the decision after rubbing bosses up the wrong way with her criticism of the show over the last year. 3 Sally Ann Matthews has been left devastated after being axed from Coronation Street Credit: Getty 3 The actress has played Jenny Connor on and off for 39 years Credit: ITV 3 The actress will film her final scenes in the next few months Credit: ITV A source said: 'Sal's devastated by the decision. 'She was central to the soap for so long as Rovers landlady but bosses wanted to go in a new direction. 'Her late night Instagram rants haven't helped matters but ultimately it was a story-led decision by the team. 'The writing was very much on the wall when Jenny lost the Rovers but an exciting exit has been planned for her.' Sally Ann made her debut on the soap in 1986 as villain Alan Bradley's tearaway daughter. She made a shock return in 2006 which was only meant to run for a matter of months - but ended up staying and becoming a central figure in the show for another decade. The source added: 'Sal's Corrie royalty through and through and the decision hasn't gone down well. 'There's a lot of people going to be sitting there worried about their own futures.' Sally Ann made headlines last year as she lashed out at the soap for not giving her the storylines which led to lengthy breaks from screen. Earlier this year Sally insisted she wasn't leaving the show after fans began to worry, hitting back at suggestions she would be going. Coronation Street's Jenny Connor makes dangerous decision about the Rovers Return, However now she will film her final scenes in the coming months. It comes off the back of bosses deciding to axe fellow old school Corrie icon Sue Devaney in a long-running dementia storyline. The Sun revealed last week how one in ten cast members are facing the axe from the soap over budget cuts at ITV. A Coronation Street spokeswoman declined to comment.
