Just weeks after announcing plans to helm the relaunch of hit ’90s game show Supermarket Sweep, Rylan Clark-Neal is set to host a revamped version of Ready Steady Cook.
The presenter, 30, is “so excited” to be lined up for the culinary contest when it returns in 2020 – more than 10 years after it was axed.
He said: “I’m so excited that Ready Steady Cook is finally coming back to our screens. To be asked to host such an amazing show for the BBC is such a privilege.

“After making the finals of Celebrity MasterChef, I know how tough cooking under pressure can be.”
The new 20-episode series will reportedly reflect contemporary cooking, taking in everything from budget meals to healthier foods.
The revamped version will also feature up-and-coming chefs like Mike Reid, Akis Petretzikis, Romy Gill, Anna Haugh, Ellis Barrie and others.
When it returns next year, Ready Steady Cook will pair two contestants with chefs as they go head-to-head in a series of culinary challenges.
