Over the course of Billy and Dom Eat the World, the pair will share their passion for food and travel as they discover how cuisine can give an insight into a place, its people and culture.

Monaghan said of the series: “Billy and I have always explored places we’ve visited through food and also included each location in our podcasts, which seemed to be well received by the listeners.

“It felt about as natural as it can be to then build on these podcasts and create a TV show travelling the world and stuffing our faces with tasty treats. Two of our favourite things to do!”

Boyd added: “Dom and I wanted to tell interesting, honest stories in the series, whilst discovering some great cooking tips and secrets to pass on.

“We met so many wonderful people and heard their stories, from the sisters keeping the family business alive making black pudding in the Outer Hebrides to a wonderful married couple and their delicious street food in Fukuoka, Japan.

“Seeing the different ways people make and eat food and how that creates a community has been such an amazing adventure, we can’t wait for people to see the show.”

Billy and Dom Eat the World is coming soon.
