Now, the stand up comedian has been whisked away on a luxury yacht to film her new show.

She will set sail across the Mediterranean in a new series called Judi Love’s Culinary Cruise.

A camera crew will follow Judi as she travels to five different destinations in luxury yacht Emerald Azzurra.

The cruise sets sail from Kotor in Montenegro and then journeys on to Greece where it will stop at Parga, Kerkira, Kefalonia and Itea.

Every time she steps onto land, Judi will be challenged to make local dishes.

The Loose Women host will then have to cook up the dishes she has learned for all the other passengers onboard.

Judi said: “I am so excited to be setting sail on this new adventure with ITV. Growing up within a Jamaican family, food was always at the heart of any function and occasion.

“So I’m truly excited to experience the culture, people and food of the beautiful Mediterranean.”

She added: “I’m looking forward to exploring all of the different destinations as well as food has such a way of telling a story for many, especially in the Mediterranean where it’s about sharing love, traditions and identity.”

Guests on the ship are in for a treat as Judi is also a doyenne in the field of comedy.

She takes everyday relatable situations and finds the comedy within.

She turned to comedy to cope with grief when her mother became sick and she cared for her.

Viewers are eagerly awaiting the five-part show, which is bound to have some comedy in it too.

Judi shared: “I’m thrilled to be able to embrace this with ITV and the audience at home.”
