Following his series one debut, grime artist and self-taught chef, Big Zuu, will be serving up a fresh menu for a new line-up of guests for series two of Big Zuu’s Big Eats.
Zuu will fire up his food truck again, this time churning out finger-licking food for Harry Redknapp, Jacob Anderson, James Acaster, Judi Love, Maya Jama, Mo Gilligan, Mel Giedroyc, Natasia Demetriou, Rob Delaney and Rose Matafeo over the course of the new series, which will air on Dave in 2021.
Produced by Boom, part of ITV Studios for Dave, Big Zuu's Big Eats follows the grime artist take his passion for cooking on the road, meeting with stars and exchanging made-to-order dishes for chat. Each episode will see school friends Tubsey and Hyder join Zuu and the stars for flavours and laughs.
Big Zuu said: “I'm so gassed to be releasing a second series of Big Eats in 2021. To be cooking for some of the biggest names in music, sport and television, alongside my boys Tubsey and Hyder again is an amazing feeling. 2020 has been such a difficult year for everyone so hopefully the second series will bring some guaranteed happiness to 2021.”
Series one saw Big Zuu prepare dishes for the likes of Jamali Maddix, Jimmy Carr, Josh Widdicombe and London Hughes. The first series averaged an outstanding 16-34 profile of 55% - one of the strongest ever 16-34 profiles of a UKTV Original on Dave. To date, the show has reached over 2.3m individuals (4+) and over half a million 16-34s (571k).
Big Zuu is also back to cook up two Christmas Specials from his famous food truck. Once again, he and his boys, Tubsey and Hyder, are hitting the road to put on a festive feast for some special guests. For the Big Zuu’s Christmas Eats: Comedy Special, Zuu will be reuniting with some of his favourite guests from Series one – Phil Wang, Rosie Jones, Desiree Burch and Ed Gamble, airing on 18 December at 10pm on Dave.
