The Heat has released an explosive first look at episode two of the new ITV reality show
Olivia Attwood makes a cheeky admission in a first look of The Heat episode two.
The new ITV series, which started on Tuesday 24 February, sees ten ambitious chefs as they travel to Barcelona in the hopes of being the next rising star of the culinary world working under multi-Michelin Star award-winning chef Jean-Christophe Novelli.
However, there’s a twist, as the cameras don’t stop rolling after the cooks have left the kitchen. As these chefs turn up the heat on the stove, things get hot under the collar at home too. Tempers rise, romance brews and drama is guaranteed.
The first episode saw viewers introduced to the new chefs and it was soon a baptism of fire for the new chefs as they hit the ground running while trying to stay focused on a first service while having fun flirting.
In an exclusive first look of episode two obtained by the Mirror, it sees host Olivia, 34, on a lavish yacht in the mediterranean sea.
The presenter says: “Yesterday The Heat opened its doors, the fire was on in the kitchen and later on the team let their hair down but there were sparks there too…
“Today, a new head chef has to step up and take control. Let’s hope there’s not too many distractions!”
In a candid moment, Olivia then hilariously asks crew members: “Is my a**e out? I want it to be, I’ll get more likes” to which laughter off camera is heard.
Meanwhile, an explosive teaser clip shows viewers what they can expect as tensions soar in the kitchen while two contestants strike up a romance, causing jealousy with another ambitious chef.
It comes as Olivia shared what she’s really like in the kitchen ahead of the show’s realease. “I’m a bit Victoria Beckham-coded,” she laughed. “I could eat the same thing every day, I can’t be bothered to make a big mess. I want to eat the food, I don’t want to make it.”
She added that she can bash out a decent spaghetti bolognese and a good roast dinner, but that she can’t do anything fancy.
Still, Olivia continued to say she thought people underestimated her abilities. “I think people think that I can’t cook at all because I think I’m a bit Carrie Bradshaw-coded, probably like with sweaters in the oven.”
Given her expertise lies less in the kitchen and more in the heart, Olivia said she left the cookery advice to her co-host Jean-Christophe Novelli.
However, she was much more willing to advise the contestants on the reality side of the show, as her experience on Love Island in 2017 meant she had a “unique perspective” on what its like to be filmed all the time.
“I was nervous,” she said, looking back on when a 26-year-old Olivia jetted off for a ‘summer of love’ with ITV2. “But I know what it feels like when you go on to a reality show, and you know some things, but you know there’s going to be surprises.
“I think it gives me a unique perspective, which I’m really grateful for. I would say to anyone actually going on reality shows, or competition shows, that you have to just kind of give yourself to the process. Because you’re in it now, so you might as well just jump in with both feet!’
The Heat continues tomorrow, 25th February at 9 pm on ITV2 and ITVX
