Anthea Turner and her husband Grant Bovey are said to have signed up for this years series of Hell’s Kitchen on ITV.

“It will be the first time they have worked on TV together,” a source told The Daily Mail. “Grant happily agreed to take part because, like everyone else in the property business, they have been hit heavily by the recession.”

The pair certainly need the funds as it emerged earlier this year that they had been hard hit by the current property slump and may be facing bankruptcy.
