The BBC has announced a second series of the revamped Ready Steady Cook for next year.

After a break from screens of 20 years, the classic cookery competition returned to BBC One earlier this year with Rylan Clark-Neal as its new host.

"I'm very excited to bring Ready Steady Cook back for series two on BBC One," Clark-Neal said.

"We never realised when series one was on air the climate that we would be living in and how beneficial it was to so many at home watching, who were scrambling to make meals from random ingredients in the cupboard!

"I can't wait to welcome new contestants into the Ready Steady Cook kitchen and am equally excited to taste our chefs' fantastic creations once again."

The 30-episode run is expected to air on BBC One early next year.
