The 44-year-old said: "I am so excited to be setting sail on this new adventure with ITV. Growing up within a Jamaican family, food was always at the heart of any function and occasion. So I'm truly excited to experience the culture, people and food of the beautiful Mediterranean."

She continued: "I'm looking forward to exploring all of the different destinations as food has such a way of telling a story for many, especially in the Mediterranean where it's about sharing love, traditions and identity.

"I have always loved watching loved ones cook and I truly love serving up a hearty plate of food for my family and friends. So I'm thrilled to be able to embrace this with ITV and the audience at home... I can't wait to get started."
