What is Gordon Ramsay's new show?
Gordon Ramsay's brand new BBC One show sees 12 food and drink entrepreneurs compete for a £150,000 investment in their business from chef and TV presenter Gordon Ramsay.
"But to win Gordon’s support will take more than just a great idea - the contenders will need to prove they possess the raw ingredients required to succeed: determination, dedication, passion and talent," the BBC teases.
Through a series of challenges, all of which are designed to test their character and showcase their business skills, the contestants will have to make it to the competition final if they want Ramsay's endorsement.
Speaking at a Q&A for the show, Ramsay said Future Food Stars looks at the food and drink business in the UK after the "difficulties" so many people experienced over the last two years.
"[It's about] just how hard it is to break through that market," he said. "So it's a food and drink business show with some great products, great characters and a lot of challenges."
