New Reality Show For BBC Two
Chef Raymond Blanc is heading up a new reality show in which couples compete to run their own restaurant.
And the Frenchman will have a personal stake in the prize - the winners will be given their own establishment, which he will financially back with a six-figure sum.
The show, called The Restaurant, will be broadcast on BBC Two.
Blanc said: "To set up a business, especially a restaurant business, and make a success of it is one of the hardest things in the world.
"I look forward to sharing my experience and expertise with like-minded people who are eager to enter this crazy but irresistible world and achieve the dream for themselves.
The Restaurant will feature nine couples whose dream is to run their own establishment.
The winners will be "financially backed and personally supported" by Blanc, chef patron of the two Michelin-starred Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons in Oxfordshire.
