ITV bosses have scrapped the public vote for this years series of Hell’s Kitchen.

In a bid to make the show more like Gordon Ramsay’s successful US version of the show bosses have decided that Marco Pierre White will now choose who gets sent home each evening.

A show source told The Sun: “Marco is rubbing his hands with glee, he can’t wait to get to grips with his new crew.

“He loves being in control and this is perfect for him. He won’t flinch at telling precious celebrities what he thinks of them.

“This is the first year they won’t be able to rely on their celebrity status to save them. Expect blood, sweat and tears as they try their hardest to stay in.”

I hope this works for the channel, as it is well recognised that the American version of this reality TV show is much more engaging and popular despite the fact that the concept originated on ITV.
