Prue Leith’s Cotswold Kitchen season 2 sees Prue Leith's Saturday morning series return as The Great British Bake Off judge and her husband John invite us back to their countryside home and share their top kitchen hacks and culinary shortcuts.

Just like in Prue Leith’s Cotswold Kitchen season 1, the couple will be joined by some very familiar faces as they share tasty meals prepared by Prue, while John joins in the fun by meeting locals and trying his hand at new skills.

Speaking of the new series, Prue said: “Series 2 is a lot more relaxed and there is a bit more of my husband, John. He almost talks about it like it’s his show now and I’m a sort of walk-on part. The series is much the same formula, in the sense that I have an interesting person to talk to and cook with, as before, and John goes off and discovers things that are happening in the Cotswolds. We call them food heroes, as we try to highlight local people who've got really good practices throughout the series."

Prue Leith’s Cotswold Kitchen season 2 celebrity guests

Throughout the series Prue will be joined by ten celebrity guests, including singers Lulu and Charlotte Church, JLS member and Down on the Farm star JB Gill and Omi, an award-winning, eco-friendly fashion designer.

Speaking of her guests, Prue said Lulu was one of her favourites: "It was so fun to see her again because I knew her many years ago when my restaurant first opened and she used to come as a guest. She was so much fun and she got on with everybody so well. She just lights up a room because she’s so friendly and funny, so she was great to have on.

"What actually amused me was that she originally came from Glasgow, but she doesn't sound very Scottish. My husband John is Scottish, so as soon as they met, he greeted her in an exaggerated Glasgow accent, and of course, the two of them were off then. They ended up singing together, so that was fun."

As soon as more celebrity guests are announced we will add them to this guide.

Where is Prue Leith’s Cotswold Kitchen season 2 filmed?

The series is filmed in Prue's own home in Moreton-in-Marsh in the Cotswolds. Prue shares her home with her husband John Playfair, who she married in 2016.

Speaking of filming at home, Prue said: "There's something so nice about filming in your own house. For example, Bambi, who does my makeup, would bang on my door at about eight o'clock in the morning with a cup of tea in her hands and say, ‘Wake up and get into the makeup chair’. Whereas, normally, If I'm filming Bake Off, I have to sometimes get up at four or five o'clock in the morning to drive. So that was just lovely."
