THE HEAT: REALITY COOKERY COMPETITION AXED BY ITV AFTER ONE SERIES

Hosted by Olivia Attwood, The Heat saw ten ambitious chefs travel to Barcelona, working under multi Michelin Star award-winning chef Jean-Christophe Novelli, who is opening an exclusive summer restaurant at the glamorous Port Vell Marina and on a mission to find the next rising star.

But this isn’t just a straight-forward cooking competition - each day when the kitchen service is over, the cameras keep rolling because when you’re living, working and competing with one another, there is no escaping The Heat. Viewers can expect post shift dates, staff nights out and more - blending both their professional and personal lives will see tempers simmer, steam and boil, in and outside of the kitchen. 

These young hopefuls will quickly realise that no-one's place is secure in this fierce culinary contest, as they consistently battle it out in a bid to climb the kitchen ranks. Promotions, demotions, power plays, sackings and shock decisions throughout the series are sure to keep the contenders on their toes - every service is a chance to soar or sink.

With Olivia keeping a close eye, offering sharp insight, spicy gossip, and the occasional reality check - The Heat contains all the ingredients for an unmissable reality series with a twist. Who will rise to the top? And who will face the chop?

A spokesperson for ITV told The Sun: "There are no plans for a second series of The Heat but audiences can watch the first series on ITVX."

The Heat is available now on ITVX.
