Kitchen Nightmares titan Gordon Ramsay is launching a new baking show called Next Level Baker, which will air on US TV network Fox, meaning he’ll be up against Paul and Prue Leith
The Hell’s Kitchen star and award-winning chef got into a heated feud with Lord Sugar when the business magnate claimed Future Food Stars was a “rip off” of The Apprentice. He rubbished the comparisons and claimed the BBC had enough room for both of their competition shows.
The chef will put contestants through their paces on series Next Level Baker, which is being made for US telly network Fox. It will be filmed on a giant set that features kitchens across three storeys. The show is a spin-off of his hit series Next Level Chef, which has aired in the US since 2022.
Gordon said: “I’m delighted that Next Level Baker is coming to Fox later this year. A holiday special, where passionate home cooks, more used to crafting treats for their family, will compete against social media creators; individuals who fill our feeds with photo-ready creations, side by side with talented professional pastry chefs, impressing with Michelin starred perfection.

“My very first job was baking in Paris, and to me there is nothing better than the smell of freshly baked bread. I’m hoping on these holiday specials we get to discover incredible family recipes handed down through generations of bakers, inventive bakers cleverly working with dietary sensitivities and those with a talent for stunning creativity and elevated design work.”
Gordon is netting a deal worth a reported £25million to make Next Level Baker along with two more series of Next Level Chef. The foul-mouthed star has had a string of hits in the US over the past two decades including Kitchen Nightmares.

Fox network president Michael Thorn said Next Level Baker “exemplifies the strength of our long-standing collaborative partnership with Gordon”. He added: “Next Level Chef consistently raises the bar of culinary excellence as a high stakes food competition fans love, an invaluable franchise for Fox and an increasingly popular global format.”
Next Level Chef, which premiered its fourth season last month, sees chefs divided into three teams and compete in a series of tough cooking challenges. Ramsay and fellow chefs Nyesha Arrington and Richard Blais help guide them as they cook in one of three kitchens stacked on top of one another.
