Fashionista Simran Samra hosts a glitz and glam night for her guests as she goes head to head with doctor Chintu Gademsetty, comedian Yoshki Greenberg, city boy Alan Price and businesswoman Delia Elliot. Simran cooks meat despite being a vegetarian and buys wine despite the fact she knows nothing about it, and then the main course isn't a success. City boy Alan rubs a few of the guests up the wrong way with his over-bearing nature but Simran attempts to create a diversion with some comedy accents.
- S25E57
East London, Yoshki Greenberg
Mar 20, 2012On day two in east London, laid-back comedian Yoshki Greenberg aims to throw a relaxing dinner party and give her guests a good laugh. But Yoshki has a surprise up her sleeve - on arrival she hands her guests animal-themed pyjama suits.

- S25E58
East London, Alan Price
Mar 21, 2012It's day three in east London and jack-the-lad Alan Price aims to wow his guests with a medieval themed feast. After two nights of disappointing food, Alan hopes he can raise the standard this week with an ambitious menu. But his dinner party doesn't get off to the best start when his medieval table decoration - a whole pig's head! - sends vegetarian Simran in to a state of panic and earns him a tongue lashing from Delia. Things don't improve when dirty plates and hapless hosting leave Chintu and Yoshki less than impressed.
- S25E59
East London, Delia Elliot
Mar 22, 2012On day four in east London it's the turn of bar owner Delia Elliot to host. Cordon Bleu cook Delia has purposefully played down her menu in an attempt to wow her guests. Despite this, expectations are high. As the elder of the group, Delia's confident she can teach her young diners a thing or two about how to throw a good dinner party. However not all the youngsters want to listen; especially prankster Alan who ends up having a row with Delia, leading Simran to hide under the table!
- S25E60
East London, Chintu Gademsetty
Mar 23, 2012On the final day in east London doctor Chintu Gademsetty is confident of winning with his 80s-themed dinner party. But first he needs to create a cheery atmosphere following the tensions of the past two nights, and secondly he needs to out-do Delia's Cordon Bleu cookery. The night begins well when Chintu delights with his MC Hammer costume and Knight Rider car. And although Delia refuses to take part in Chintu's 80s dance competition, the host impresses with his break dancing. The food goes down well too - for a while! But after scenes which Delia can only describe as being 'like the Crimean War' is there any chance that Chintu can claim the £1000 prize?
- S25E61
Bath, Liv Sargeant
Mar 26, 2012It's day one of the competition in the picturesque town of Bath, and first up to host is posh girl about town Liv Sargeant. Liv decides to kick things off with a sophisticated evening, complete with black tie dress code, which goes down better with some guests than others. The complete strangers that Liv has to win over are vegetarian ex-raver Mel Lewis-Leger; sandwich fanatic Becky Tyler; French patriot and food snob Denis Verrier, and finally local handyman Jon Wicheard, a man with simple tastes. Will Liv manage to pull off the stylish soiree she's aiming for, or will her hopes of a chic night be dashed by Jon's sudden revelation that he can only eat his dinner if it's accompanied by a certain type of special red sauce...
- S25E62
Bath, Mel Lewis-Leger
Mar 27, 2012Second to host in the Roman Spa town of Bath is ex-raver and single mum Mel Lewis-Leger. Mel's treating her guests to a night of Cajun food and an "Old School" rave party. But will that go down well with Jon, the ketchup-loving handy man, who has an aversion to anything spicy, and social climber Liv who detests any form of forced entertainment? Picky Frenchman Denis has already rubbed the other guests up the wrong way after the first night with his arrogant bragging. Will he be able to contain himself tonight? Mel may be intending to send her guests "raving" mad, but will her food be too hot to handle?
- S25E63
Bath, Jon Wicheard
Mar 28, 2012It's day three of the competition in Bath and the turn of handyman Jon Wicheard to wow his four guests. Jon is a man of simple, yet strange taste, bemusing his fellow diners by dousing all his meals in his special sauce: tomato ketchup. Tonight is no different, and his secret stash is finally revealed. Expectations for Jon's food are pretty low as his fellow guests are convinced he can't cook, none more so than arrogant Frenchman Denis Verrier, who thinks the food won't be up to his usual standards. Likewise sandwich fanatic Becky isn't expecting much, but ex-raver Mel is excited at the possibility of a disco on the night. Will Jon's simple grub leave him bottom of the pile?
- S25E64
Bath, Becky Tyler
Mar 29, 2012Fourth to host in Bath is cafe worker Becky Tyler. With her day job heavily influencing her choice of starter, Becky sets out to put on a menu of great British fare, but what will Denis, the fussy French foodie and society gal Liv make of sandwiches for a starter? The theme for the evening is "Mad Hat" tea party and Becky is making the hats, so no surprises to see Jon's is covered in tomato sauce sachets. With a theme like that no one will expect a visit from a troop of Morris dancers, which will delight fancy footed ex-raver Mel, but horrify an already traumatised Liv. And just exactly where did that horse come from?
- S25E65
Bath, Denis Verrier
Mar 30, 2012It's the final day of the competition in Bath and it's the turn of patriotic Frenchman Denis Verrier. Working in the hospitality industry, Denis is pretty confident he knows what it takes to throw an amazing dinner party, and Denis has grand plans to give his English guests a lesson about culinary excellence and French superiority. To add a twist to his evening Denis is breaking the 'Entente Cordiale' when he challenges the English to a penalty shoot-out competition which is far from what the guests expect. Will there be a European Union, or will the cross channel rivalry come to a head? Find out as the winner of the £1000 cash is revealed.

- S25E77
Darlington, James Emson
Apr 10, 2012Second to host in Darlington is veterinary surgeon James Emson. He's serving up a mountain of curry and truly spicing up the evening with some of the most eye-opening entertainment ever seen. James might know animals inside out and upside down, but will his guests be able to match the ghoulish collection of eyeballs, tongues and the other bits of 'offal' he puts in front of them to the animal they came from?
- S25E78
Darlington, Barry I'Anson
Apr 11, 2012Bachelor Barry I'Anson is pulling out all the stops with a "Love" inspired dinner party, an unexpected choice of theme that shows the group a very different side to the guy they all think is a Jack the lad. But will Barry's "Splashes of Love" dessert go down well with his guests?
- S25E79
Darlington, Charlotte Langley

Reading, Sonya Smith
Jul 2, 2012Fun-loving Sonya Smith knows her cooking skills aren't the best and hopes to bungle her way through the night, and win the guests over, with her good humour and Touch of Sparkle theme. There are kitchen calamities galore, and Sonya quite literally wets herself laughing. Grumpy geezer Glen is unimpressed with the choice of entertainment, curvaceous corset-maker Serine teaches some decorum, red meat-hater Sabi is challenged to eat beef and mature student Richard finds it all too much.
- S25E97
Reading, Glen Wilkie
Jul 3, 2012Cocky Cockney Glen Wilkie serves up a menu he is convinced will be a winner. Even a disaster with his own-named recipe of Super Duper Tiramisu doesn't dent his confidence. His guests will have to like it or lump it, even as the evening doesn't go to plan, with his main of Bambi on a Plate causing tears at the table from Sonya Smith and a refusal from Sabi Phagura. Sensitive student Richard Howse can only sit by and watch with his new best friend Serine Daou as the night descends into chaos. But it doesn't stop Glen from thinking he's got the prize in the bag.
- S25E98

Reading, Sabi Phagura
Jul 5, 2012Fitness fanatic Sabi Phagura goes back to her roots with a Bhangra themed evening that puts her healthy lifestyle on the backburner for one day as she cooks traditional Indian food for her four guests. The food doesn't quite live up to everyone's expectations, and her entertainment leaves Richard and Glen in an intimate situation. Now that his night is out of the way, Glen does everything he can to wind up Sabi and the rest of the guests.
- S25E100
Reading, Serine Daou
Jul 6, 2012On the final evening in Reading, corset-maker Serine Daou has the daunting task of trying to end the week with a bang, hosting recruitment consultant Glen, mature student Richard, sparky Sonya Smith and fitness writer Sabi Phagura. Her gourmet burgers are more burger than gourmet, but as part of her Burlesque night, the guests' costumes don't disappoint. When her entertainment doesn't appeal to Glen, he swings back into action with some more wind-ups.
