Big Zuu's Big Eats is to return to Dave this autumn for an eight-part fourth series.

UKTV confirms: "TV chef and presenter Big Zuu returns with friends Tubsey and Hyder as they fire up the food truck at Big Eats HQ. In a twist on the critically-acclaimed format, Zuu's dinner guests will now come to the Big Eats house for the ultimate foodie experience."

Big Zuu says: "I'm so gassed that Big Eats is going again. Winning not one but two BAFTAs for it last year was just incredible, and then getting nominated twice again this year has just made Tubsey, Hyder and I even more excited to get back to it. This series will be another co-production between Boom and my own production company, Big Productions Ltd, so it's an even more personal project for me. Roll on Series 4!"

UKTV adds: "Since launching on Dave in 2020, Big Zuu has cooked 88 dishes, inspired by 24 guests and 25 nations from 22 different locations across the UK and earned rave reviews. And it's not just the celebs who love the show, Big Zuu's Big Eats has enjoyed standout success with multiple award wins including BAFTAs for Features and Entertainment Performance last year and a number of wins and nominations for Broadcast Digital Awards, RTS, BPG and Broadcast Awards."

Commissioner Emile Nawagamuwa says: "There is nothing quite like this series on TV and it's a measure of its many enduring qualities that we are moving to a fourth iteration. We will raise the levels again and embark on a more dynamic, more inventive and more ambitious chapter. Working with Zuu, Tubsey, Hyder and a production team that deliver something truly unique, time after time, is a total joy."

Channel director Cherie Hall adds: "Watching Big Zuu's Big Eats always brings a smile to my face. His charisma and energy is infectious. This series is going to feel even more escapist, and I'm really excited about the fun this show will bring to Dave."

Executive producer Alex Gilman comments: "Whether it's been from a car park in Edmonton, aboard HMS Victory, or in a Kurdish restaurant in Huddersfield, making this show alongside Zuu, Tubsey, Hyder, and the whole team has been an incredible journey and we're absolutely delighted that the good people at Dave are welcoming us back to make a fourth series. And with the boys now inviting guests into their new HQ, things are set to get even spicier."
