Gordon Ramsay is back with season two of Future Food Stars on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. The new show will see the Michelin starred chef and CEO of a global business empire continue his search for the country's most exciting and innovative new food and drink business.

A synopsis reads: "Gordon's always been at the cutting edge of his industry and has hand-picked 12 of the UK’s best up-and-coming food and drink entrepreneurs, to compete to earn his investment – a whopping £150,000 of his own cash. But to be in with a chance of winning the life-changing reward, they’ll need to prove they have what it takes to partner up with Gordon.

"Over the next 8 weeks, he’ll set his new bunch of contenders a series of relentless challenges designed to test their character and showcase their business skills – he’s not looking for his next Head Chef, he wants to find someone who he can partner up with."
