Exclusive: Viacom’s Channel 5 is continuing to cook up new entertainment formats with top tier talent – signing MasterChef presenter Gregg Wallace to host an adventure series.
The British commercial broadcaster has commissioned Weekend Breaks with Gregg Wallace (wt), a four-part series produced by Rumpus Media, which is backed by Keshet-owned media group Greenbird.
Wallace joins the likes of Jeremy Vine, Jeremy Paxman and Michael Palin on the channel – as part of a strategy to get more big names on the channel.
He has been co-presenter of the BBC cooking format, which airs on Fox in the U.S., since 2005.
The four-part format will see Wallace go on a series of “breakneck” adventures to a different city for the ideal weekend away. The series takes him across Europe where he visits Rome, Amsterdam, Berlin and Barcelona. In each city, he’ll be experiencing the culture, exploring the history and indulging in the local cuisine.
