JIMMY DOHERTY on exploring the culinary delights of America's Sunshine State  Jimmy Doherty had a mission in mind when he jetted off to Florida for a new ITV1 travelogue – and, no, it didn’t involve meeting Mickey Mouse!

The five-part series, Jimmy’s Taste of Florida, sees him eat and cook his way around the Sunshine State’s culinary hotspots.

‘Viewers can expect the unexpected,’ smiles Jimmy, 48. Here, he reveals more about Floridian cuisine…

Can you sum up the series in three words?

Peanuts?!
