According to The Sun, the former England ace is hoping to develop the ‘interactive format’ with his own media company Studio 99, which he launched in 2019.
It’s said that wants to make the show after spending quality time cooking with eight-year-old daughter Harper during lockdown.
A source told the publication: ‘One of the unintended benefits of lockdown for David has been the opportunity to do what he loves most – baking. He’s been recreating some of his mum’s old recipes, and got a load of pots and pans for his birthday recently.’
The insider went on to add David, who has been doing Instagram lives with pal Gordon, is inspired by his success and Gordon has only been too happy to offer advice.

They added: ‘David’s also used this time to really focus on Studio 99, and initially chatted to Gordon about the pair doing an Instagram Live.
‘He’s seen how well Gordon has done with his own cookery shows and his Studio Ramsay production company, and Gordon’s given him some great advice.’
The source went on to say that amid the huge Netflix hit The Last Dance with basketball legend Michael Jordan, broadcasters such as the BBC are now keen to work with sportspeople, with there being an ‘appetite’ for David.
