The 'Great British Bake Off' judge will travel the world and taste cakes for his new series 'Paul Hollywood City Bakes'.

Speaking of his decision to make the mini-series, he said: "Food culture can reveal so much about a nation so it's a privilege to be able to delve into the lives of fellow bakers and discover some really amazing international bakes."

The 49-year-old celebrity chef will stop in Madrid, Miami, Munich, Warsaw, London, Naples, New York, St Petersburg and Copenhagen to tuck into the cities' renowned pastries and freshly-baked bread, and then put his own twist on the recipes to create a completely different taste and texture.

'Paul Hollywood City Bites', made up of 10 episodes, will air on the UK's Food Network channel from next April.

The programme is not thought to interfere with his commitments to the 'Great British Bake Off' with Mary Berry, 80.

This isn't the first time Paul has gone it alone and done his own TV venture as he previously presented the BBC series 'Bread' earlier this year and 'Pies and Puds' in 2014.
