- There is currently no official launch date for the series
According to The Sun, Davina will host a 10-part series of 30-minute episodes, with the programme combining celebrity interviews with appearances from celebrity chefs in a kitchen setting.
The new series is expected to be released online, with viewers able to watch episodes on YouTube and ITVX as ITV continues to develop its digital content offering.
Davina’s new project marks another move into digital-first programming for a familiar face of British television. The Sun has drawn comparisons between the project and Holly Willoughby’s recent comeback, although the two presenters’ projects are separate.
Davina remains one of ITV’s best-known presenters, having built a long-running career across some of the broadcaster’s biggest programmes.
She first became widely known for hosting Big Brother, before going on to front Long Lost Family and Your Mum, My Dad. She has also appeared as a panelist on The Masked Singer.
The reported lifestyle series would see Davina combine several familiar elements of her television work, including celebrity conversation and entertainment, with a more relaxed kitchen-based format.
For ITV, meanwhile, the project forms part of a wider push towards content designed specifically for viewers consuming programmes through online platforms.
Despite the reported plans, ITV has not officially announced a launch date for Davina McCall’s new series, and further details about the celebrity guests and chefs involved have yet to be confirmed.
The programme is expected to consist of 10 episodes, with each instalment running for approximately 30 minutes. Further information about the format and release schedule is likely to emerge ahead of its launch.
