Dermot O’Leary is set to return to ITV by hosting a new cookery show, according to reports.
The presenter, who has also been widely tipped to be returning to ‘X Factor’ following the departure of both Caroline Flack and Olly Murs, will reportedly host the new show with Gino D’Acampo.

It has been claimed the programme will be called ‘Live At The Trattoria’, and the duo have even filmed a pilot episode, according to The Sun.
A source tells the paper: “Dermot coming back to ITV with ‘The X Factor’ is a big deal. Bosses have high hopes for him across the network.
“If the pilot of ‘Live At The Trattoria’ is a success they will order a series - meaning he will have two big weekend shows on.”
TV chef Gino is also on board
It’s widely believed that Dermot’s ‘X Factor’ return is imminent and bookies William Hill have even suspended betting on who the show’s next presenter will be.
Other previous rumoured names included Rylan Clark - who admitted he’d love the job - and ‘Big Brother’ host Emma Willis however, earlier this week it was reported that Dermot has been told to "name his price" by ITV bosses.
