Drama continues outside the kitchen – with viewers privy to what happens next as professional and personal lives blend.
The series will launch at 9pm on Tuesday 24th February on ITV2 and ITVX.
ITV announced the ‘absolutely unmissable’ new cooking competition – as well as Olivia and Jean-Christophe’s involvement – in August 2025.
Speaking at the time, Olivia said: ‘It is such an honour to host this brand-new format
‘Being at the helm of something this fresh and exciting is a total pinch-me moment.’
And chef Jean-Christophe, known for his drive and intensity in the kitchen, said he was equally ‘thrilled’ to join the exciting new series.
‘I’ll be using my passion and unique teaching style to push these young chefs to dig deep, stay sharp and prove they have what it takes to grow, evolve, and make their mark,’ he said.
His years of experience will prove life-changing for the show’s contestants, and Jean-Christophe will mentor the next generation of culinary talent.

‘I’ll mentor them to use all five senses together and put it all on the plate, the right way,’ he continued.
‘It’s going to be a wild ride, and I know we’ll discover some true culinary stars along the way. I’m ready. Let’s do this. Allez, Allez – bon appétit!’
ITV’s Paul Mortimer said: ‘The Heat is the perfect fusion of a high-stakes cooking show with real-life drama.
‘And with the fantastic Olivia at the forefront alongside the renowned Jean-Christophe, it’s shaping up to be a new reality obsession for our younger viewers.’
Last month, the former Love Island star confirmed she had split from husband Bradley Dack in an emotional statement.
Since the split, Olivia admitted she has thrown herself into work, documenting her busy day on Wednesday which included a shoot, attending the EE BAFTA Rising Star Party, followed by a late-night spray tan at 11pm.
