Range cooker maker Leisure is sponsoring daytime cookery show Country House Cooking Contest which starts today on ITV.

The show will be on air between 4-5pm for five days and is presented by chef John Burton Race.

It will follow six amateur cooks as they compete to prepare a menu fit for the aristocracy. One person will be eliminated each day, leaving two finalists to compete for the £1,000 prize in the final on March 12.

Leisure’s sponsorship consists of a 15-second introduction, six 10-second break bumpers and a five-second closing credit.
