Fancy appearing on the new series of My Kitchen Rules UK and be in with a chance of winning £10,000? 

The competitive cooking series, which will return for a second series later this year on Channel 4, sees amateur cooks open their own restaurants at home in a bid to scoop a cash prize. 

My Kitchen Rules UK launched last summer  and is based on the knock-out success of Australia's My Kitchen Rules, which holds the top spot as the country’s number one show and is now screened in more than 160 countries.

Series two promises to be revamped and full of new surprises.

Renowned chef and food writer Rachel Allen and Michelin Star restaurateur Glynn Purnell will join forces as the new judging duo on the upcoming series.

Rachel Allen said: "I’m delighted to be hosting the new series of My Kitchen Rules UK with the amazingly talented Yummy Brummie, Glynn Purnell. We’ll be judging some of the UK’s best home chefs who think they’ve got what it takes to win the grand prize.

“If you’ve got a foodie dream, then this is your chance. We’re looking for pairs of contestants who have a burning ambition to cook great food and impress not only Glynn and I, but a host of celebrity guest judges that will be joining us throughout the competition.”

Glynn Purnell said: “My Kitchen Rules is an absolutely brilliant TV showcase for amateur chefs who are passionate about food.

"I couldn’t be more excited to be part of it and I’m thrilled to be alongside my fellow judge and host Rachel Allen, a highly respected culinary leading lady. I can’t wait to get started.”
