Prue Leith will lead a new cooking show on British TV alongside her retired fashion designer husband John Playfair.

Set in their kitchen in the Cotswolds, the 10-part Saturday morning series for ITV will see the Great British Bake Off judge, 83, peruse the recipe folder she has been building up over six decades in the industry, showing viewers how to cook a range of recipes from mid-week meals to dinner party-inspired dishes.

The couple will share their “top kitchen hacks and culinary short-cuts to help simplify cooking”, including Mr Playfair sharing his tips on the best way to harvest fruit and vegetables after years of country living, ITV said.

Each episode will also see her invite a “special guest” into her home to cook and share one of their favourite recipes, as well as “chewing the fat” on everyday issues that “may be especially pertinent to them”.

She said: “All in all, Prue’s Cotswold Kitchen is about the things that matter to me in my dotage: family, friends, home, farm and food.

“And I’m such an egotist, I’m looking forward to sharing them all with the world.”
