ITV Daytime has confirmed the details of three new cookery shows starting later this year.

Dinner Date, Celebrity Pressure Cooker and Ten Mile Menus will air during the spring, summer and autumn on ITV1.

Hosted by Lorraine Kelly, Celebrity Pressure Cooker will feature celebrities attempting to cook in the style of professional chefs. Kirsten O’Brien, Christopher Biggins and Hardeep Singh Kohli are among the celebrities lined up for the series.

Ten Mile Menus will also feature celebrity contestants, but will team them with professionals in competitions against each other, on location around the country.

Dinner Date, which is produced by Hat Trick, will feature single male and female contestants going on a series of three-course home-cooked dinners. At the end of the dinner dates, the single contestant will pick one of the cooks to take out for a romantic meal.

"This great new mixture of cookery based programming will complement an already highly successful lifestyle daytime slate which includes Loose Women, 60 Minute Makeover and This Morning," said director of daytime, factual and GMTV Alison Sharman.
