There may have been an appetite for Fred Sirieix and Emma Willis’ jet-setting food show The World Cook – but fans aren’t getting another helping.
The series, which filmed across locations including Majorca, Italy and Mexico, has been shelved with no plans for a return on Prime Video.
Fred Sirieix and Emma Willis’ global cooking contest The World Cook has been axed after two seriesShow execs opted not to renew the programme for a third season, despite it pulling in a steady stream of viewers since its launch in 2022.
A source told me: “Fans loved watching Emma and Fred on The World Cook and will be gutted it won’t be back any time soon.
“It was a major show for both hosts, too, as it was their first foray into presenting for a global streaming channel, with the series going out around the world.
It had a great run and everyone who worked on the show was pleased with it, but it felt like it had naturally come to the end of its course.”
A spokesperson for the show added: “Whilst there are currently no plans to begin filming a third series of The World Cook this year, new audiences can still discover the series on Prime Video and fans can revisit and enjoy the episodes released so far.”
The telly competition, produced in collaboration with travel firm TUI, saw cooks from 16 nations take on head-to-head kitchen challenges.
A likely blow
Contestants were then jetted all around the globe to prepare local food from each destination.
Although losing the show will likely be a blow, Emma has a second series of Love Is Blind: UK lined up for Netflix, alongside Busted star hubby Matt Willis, and will be back for Cooking With The Stars and The Voice UK.
Meanwhile, Fred recently flew solo hosting Tour De Fred on ITV, after his Road Trip series with Gino D’Acampo and Gordon Ramsay was axed.
Jezza in a jam – again

Clarkson gets stuck between a fence and a truck in the new series of Clarkson’s Farm It’s not the first time Jeremy Clarkson has been in a tight spot – he famously got himself jammed into a Formula 1 racing car on The Grand TourThe fourth outing of the Prime Video show sees him juggling his usual day job with trying to open a pub.
But first he had the problem of some troubling pigs to solve and that required him to get into their pen – which proves a bit of a problem.
Fortunately after a couple of deep breaths and mighty heave ho Jeremy manages to free himself but not before he gives his sidekick Kaleb Cooper a good laugh.
And as viewers will witness when the show returns on May 23, it turns out to be the least of his worries.
