Gordon Ramsay is developing a new game show which could give us a 21st-century version of The Crystal Maze, pictured original host Richard O'Brien

My husband Gordon Ramsay missed the birth of our first 4 kids, it's controversial but I didn't want the attention on him
Gordon gushed over his new show as he said it takes him back to his roots as a chef.
He said: "I'm delighted that Next Level Baker is coming to Fox later this year.
"A holiday special, where passionate home cooks, more used to crafting treats for their family, will compete against social media creators; individuals who fill our feeds with photo ready creations, side by side with talented professional pastry chefs, impressing with Michelin starred perfection.'
"My very first job was baking in Paris, and to me there is nothing better than the smell of freshly baked bread."
