By his own admission, Clinton Kelly isn’t “a huge dessert person.” But that won’t stop the host from ogling every delicious confection that contestants prepare for judges on the new season of Food Network’s “Spring Baking Championship,” which premieres Monday at 9 p.m. ET.
“In this show, I’m not doing any of the work. I’m obviously working as host, but I’m not actually doing any cooking,” the former co-host of “The Chew” and “What Not to Wear” told TheWrap. “I can just be a baking voyeur.”
When he’s not appearing on food-centric shows like “Spring Baking Championship,” “Rachael Ray” or “Family Restaurant Rivals,” Kelly is actually quite a homebody, he says, which gives him time to do some of his own cooking.
