Scarlett Moffatt to host new ITV2 dating and cookery show Love Bites

Scarlett Moffatt is to host a new ITV2 cookery dating programme called Love Bites.

The programme will see potential suitors compete to win a date by cooking a three-course meal using identical boxes of ingredients.

The contestants will have to try to prepare the best dinner in order to win a date.

Moffatt said: “I’ve always been obsessed with both dating and cookery shows so this rolled into one really is the dream gig for me.

“I’ve had such a blast filming with the daters and watching them whip up a storm in the kitchen.”

Paul Mortimer, head of digital channels and acquisitions at ITV, said: “Scarlett is a warm, funny and quick-witted personality, currently impressing on ITV 2’s Celebrity Karaoke Club.

“Audiences lover her; we’re excited that she’ll be presenting this exciting new series that blends together food and flirtation.”

Moffatt initially found fame when she became a fan favourite on Channel 4's Gogglebox.

She left in 2016 to take part in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Here! - and went on to win the show.

In the years since, Moffatt has fronted segments on Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway and taken part in the celebrity version of Great British Bake Off.

Love Bites will air on ITV 2 this autumn.
