Olivia Attwood to front new reality TV cooking show
The Heat will take place in Barcelona and involve 10 chefs working under Michelin star chef Jean-Christophe Novelli, as he tries to find the next rising star for his new restaurant in the Spanish city. The show, which will be broadcast on ITV2 and ITVX next year, is not a straightforward cooking competition, as each day the cameras will keep rolling once the cast have finished in the kitchen. Viewers can expect promotions, demotions, power plays, sackings and shock decisions throughout the series, according to producers. Attwood, who has presented a number of documentaries for ITV, said: 'It is such an honour to host this brand-new format for ITV2 and ITVX. Being at the helm of something this fresh and exciting is a total pinch-me moment!' Novelli, who has previously appeared as a judge on Masterchef Australia, said: 'I couldn't be more thrilled to join this new exciting show and help spotlight the next generation of culinary talent. 'Known for my drive and intensity in the kitchen, I'll be using my passion and unique teaching style to push these young chefs to dig deep, stay sharp, and prove they have what it takes to grow, evolve, and make their mark. 'I'll mentor them to use all five senses together and put it all on the plate, the right way. It's going to be a wild ride, and I know we'll discover some true culinary stars along the way.' Paul Mortimer, director of reality commissioning and acquisitions at ITV, said: 'The Heat is the perfect fusion of a high-stakes cooking show with real-life drama, and with the fantastic Olivia at the forefront alongside the renowned Jean-Christophe calling the shots in the kitchen, it's shaping up to be a new reality obsession for our younger viewers on ITV2 and ITVX.' The Heat is produced by Twofour, part of ITV Studios for ITV.

Peter Kennard to open Gaza exhibition in Edinburgh's Palestine museum
The exhibition of new work aims to reveal the 'context and complexities' of the ongoing situation, rather than simply depicting the horrors of war, and will launch at the Palestine Museum in Scotland in conjunction with the Edinburgh Festival this month. Kennard, who is a pioneering artist and activist, is celebrated for his impactful photomontages that critique politics, war, and a range of social issues. Through his art, Kennard seeks to highlight the complicity of Western governments and their active support for Israel, encouraging viewers to think critically about the situation. READ MORE: Meet the 21-year-old asylum seeker who has earned a spot at top Scottish art school His exhibition features a series of prints made using a variety of mediums, including photomontage, double-exposed photographs, drawing, and paint, in response to the ongoing conflict. Kennard explained that as an artist, he felt 'impelled' to create images which would make people think about the massacre taking place in Gaza while the world's political leaders look on. 'A horrific genocide is now taking place on the civilian population in Gaza, the children, women, and men, who are being starved, bombed, and shot,' he said. 'As an artist, I feel impelled to try and make images that will allow the general public to think about the massacre taking place, while the world's political leaders look on or openly support the genocide by sending weapons to Israel.' The showcase will run daily from 9 August to the end of the month from 11am-6pm and is free to attend. With a career spanning over five decades, Kennard has produced notable images of resistance and dissent, as he aimed to address topics such as the Vietnam War, the Anti-Apartheid Movement, and environmental activism. His work has been exhibited globally, and he has been recognised as one of 'Britain's most important political artists'. The Palestine Museum in Scotland, located on Dundas Street, features work from a range of Palestinian artists showcasing paintings, sculptures and installations. The museum is the first of its kind in Europe and aims to counteract the 'dehumanisation' of the Palestinian people by illustrating their culture and narrative through art. It is the first branch of an existing museum in Woodbridge, Connecticut called the Palestine Museum US and showcases work from both international and local Palestinian artists.
