The chef and television personality is set to return to ITV for a daytime cookery series, a primetime documentary series and as a host on The Nightly Show. 

Ramsay’s first appearance will be as guest host of The Nightly Show, following David Walliams' stint presenting the new late-night entertainment show.

The chef's production company Studio Ramsay will produce a new daytime cookery series, Culinary Genius, which will mix cooking food in a gameshow format.

The four-week competition will see nine amateur cooks battle it out in a number of culinary challenges for a cash prize and ultimate title of Culinary Genius.

Each week, a different guest professional chef will feature on the show, with Ramsay appearing in the first week of the competition.

The world-famous chef will also present a primetime documentary series, which will start filming this year.

Gordon Ramsay said: “We’re reaching audiences on every level with this one, and I’m really excited to work on three completely different formats with ITV.”

ITV's Director of Television Kevin Lygo said: "Gordon is not only a world class chef, but a world class TV presenter, it's a great thing to have him back where it all started, with some brand new shows.  

“He's an irrepressible talent and we are really looking forward to his return to ITV in 2017."
