Your toes will probably curl so much during this epic countdown of Come Dine with Me’s “best bits” (surely a relative term) that you’ll probably fall over when you try to stand up after watching the whole programme.
Fans will doubtless have their own favourites, but included here and culled from more than a thousand episodes (yes, there really have been that many episodes) we see misguided cooks serving appalled guests pigs’ trotters and sausage trifle, and the hostess who fell asleep and left her guests to do the cooking. Celebrity contributions come from actress Lesley Ash and footballer Neil Ruddock.
About this programme
The 30 best moments from the programme's series run. Disastrous menus include pigs' trotters for a main course and sausage trifle as a dessert, while one of the bad hosts managed to fall asleep, leaving her guests to cook. Celebrity mishaps include Lesley Joseph trying to cook a lamb roast, Brian Belo's confusion in the presence of Page 3 model Sophie Reade and footballer Neil Ruddock baring all. Plus, a flirting frenzy between a gigolo and a school teacher, the unlikely coming together of a pensioner and a hairdresser, and the revelation of who was the guest from hell.
