Award-winning comedian and actor Nick Helm is to undertake a personal culinary journey around the UK and Europe in a brand-new UKTV Original series, Eat Your Heart Out with Nick Helm. The series will start on Dave on Thursday, August 24 at 8pm. 

Helm loves food and can’t quite believe that Dave has invited him to make a show all about food and what it means to him. But when his girlfriend dumps him at the start of the series, Nick must come to terms with his newfound single status whilst making his new show - visiting one city at a time, finding food, eating food and sharing it with the new acquaintances and old friends he meets along the way. 

Helm said, “I've always had a love of people, food and food shows and making this one was deeply personal to me. Not only did I get to meet some of my heroes, but I got to work with and eat with some of my oldest and closest friends, favourite comedians and David Trent. I think the team and I have managed to make a show that puts a fresh, funny and entertaining spin on a familiar format whilst at the same time showcasing the joy, passion and personalities that go into creating some of the delicious food that this world has to offer.”

Soho, Leeds, Berlin, Paris, Glasgow, Essex and Brighton are just some of the places he’ll venture to on his 16-part food odyssey. From the dinner tables of unsung home cooks to cafes, from restaurants to hidden bars, street eats and food trucks, Nick dives in and tries everything. Except eggs. He hates eggs. 

Eat Your Heart Out with Nick Helm, Dave, Thursdays from August 24, 8pm.
