It's day one of the competition in east London. 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.

East London, Yoshki Greenberg

On 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. Sadly not all the guests are put at ease by wearing somebody else's clothes, especially as they haven't even been washed! And can Yoshki put a smile on her guests' faces with her stand-up comedy act?

East London, Alan Price

It'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.

East London, Delia Elliot

On 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!

East London, Chintu Gademsetty

On 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?

Bath, Liv Sargeant

It'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...

Bath, Mel Lewis-Leger

Second 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?

Bath, Jon Wicheard

It'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?

Bath, Becky Tyler

Fourth 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?

Bath, Denis Verrier

It'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.

Chelmsford, Alex Sullivan

Darlington, James Emson

Second 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?

Darlington, Barry I'Anson

Bachelor 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?

Darlington, Charlotte Langley

Glamorous go-getter Charlotte Langley is laying on a "Night with the Stars". She's asked her guests to dress up as their favourite red carpet celebrity, although not everyone quite gets it right. Can Charlotte hold it all together to take the award for "Best Dinner Party" and the £1000?

Darlington, Eseyoma

The final night in Darlington sees Eseyoma - the self-proclaimed "Queen of Sheba" - host a "right royal knees up", featuring a Nigerian menu, with an extra helping of glamour on the side.

Reading, Sonya Smith

Fun-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.

Reading, Glen Wilkie

Cocky 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.

And for the third night in a row, fitness

Reading, Sabi Phagura

Fitness 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.

Reading, Serine Daou

On 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.

When her entertainment doesn't appeal to Glen, he swings back into action with some more wind-ups.

And Kenny dresses in a donkey costume and gets chased around the room by his blindfolded guests as they try to pin a tail on him.

County Durham & Wearside, Eve Booth

First to host in County Durham and Wearside is personal trainer Eve Booth, who is concerned that her haggis and black pudding tower starter might not be to everyone's taste. Her guests are interior designer Paula Thompson, joker Ken Brown, outspoken debt collector Eleri Watson, and student Donal Anand Shaw, who Eve mistakenly calls 'Doughnut'. Despite the lukewarm reception for Eve's main course the bigger problem seems to be the poor quality of Ken's jokes...

County Durham & Wearside, Eleri Watson

Twenty-eight-year-old debt collector Eleri Watson is a Welsh farmer's daughter and a fierce Welsh patriot, and for her night she has plumped for a Welsh menu, Welsh ingredients, and Welsh dress code. With soil in the leek soup and burned lamb, a lot is riding on whether local fireman Tony's performance as Tom Jones can turn things around for Eleri...

County Durham & Wearside, Ken Brown

The final host in County Durham and Wearside is cheeky businessman Ken Brown, with his 'wear a wig' themed evening. He's far from happy when his rhubarb and custard 'with a twist' gets the thumbs down... maybe his unique entertainment can turn his fortunes around?

Hastings, Andrew Batsford

His guests aren't expecting much, but then Richard's first course goes down so well he is overcome with emotion at the positive response! The food continues to impress, but when it's time for his choice of entertainment Richard reveals a saucy past as well as a little too much of himself...

Salisbury, Natasha Conti

First to host is Natasha Conti, who's putting on a 'summer fete', complete with hilarious prizes, and has asked her guests to dress in country casuals.

Salisbury, Sophie McConnell

Farm manager Sophie McConnell plans pig racing as part of the entertainment on her night, and her home-grown cow Levi for the main course.

Salisbury, Anthony Brown-Hovelt

Former army major Anthony Brown-Hovelt is serving a worldly mix of dishes on his night in Salisbury, including Uzbek food, and porridge ice cream.

Salisbury, Chris Hiller

Cost conscious Chris Hiller plans an eclectic menu for his night that includes chicken a l'orange and peppers stuffed with baked beans. He's hoping the total cost of the meal for five will be just £18 and even plans to water down the wine. Is this any way to win Natasha's affections?

Salisbury, Jane Arnold

Part time care worker Jane Arnold is the last to host and plans an English menu sourced from the great Wiltshire outdoors. But it's Jane's revelations concerning her naughtier side in the bedroom that raise the most interest from her guests on an emotional night that includes tears at the table.

Warwickshire, Liza

First up for the challenge is International DJ Mark Eteson, who hopes to create a hands-in-the-air experience with his rave themed evening. Mark prepares an Ibiza inspired menu - from Bora Bora Beach brownies to paella - but what will 59-year-old alternative therapist Gill Bright, 36-year-old housewife Sally Rachael, 46-year-old amateur dramatics lover Michaela Kearns and 42-year-old financial advisor Scott Hillier make of his big fish little fishcakes? Also, Mark expects each guest to take part in a rave off, judged by himself. Will his guests don their white gloves and get into the summer of love, or will it all be a washout?

Warwickshire, Steve

Amateur dramatics enthusiast Michaela Kearns plans a glamour themed evening including melted chocolate with dipping treats. By her own admission, Michaela isn't a great cook, plus she may have trouble persuading each of her guests to perform a show tune accompanied by a full band...

Warwickshire, Emma

Financial advisor Scott Hillier hopes to blow the competition away with a Wild West themed evening. Scott is the joker of the group but makes a shocking confession about how he met his wife, and dinner table harmony isn't helped much by Gill's awkward apology to last night's host Michaela. Maybe Scott can smooth things over with his own unique style of Wild West country rapping or his song about the Swindon railway network?

Warwickshire, Pinky

Direct sales manager Sally Rachael hosts a 'girls night in' themed evening, with mysteriously titled dishes that leave her guests with no idea what they're going to be served. DJ Mark isn't happy with the dress code and some of the other guests notice that he's a bit too cool for school. Will Sally's cryptic menu be a hit and will the group be able to look each other in the eye after a very eventful dessert?

Warwickshire, Alison

Final host alternative therapist Gill Bright has big plans for an 'upstairs downstairs' Edwardian themed evening, featuring some sophisticated food followed by circle dancing to Bob Marley. After Gill's party the results of the voting are announced and the winner declared. Who will it be?

Swindon, Scott

Glamourpuss Donna Stephenson shocks her guest with the many animals in her home and her extreme beauty routine. And also with her main course of bunny delight.

Swindon, Sally

Shoeless window cleaner Jake Coxon takes his turn in Wakefield. Apart from a tasty beef Wellington, Jake has an ace up his sleeve with his entertainment, performing his classic song God is a Rocking Chair with his band The Sourheads.

Swindon, Gill

Hairdresser Francesca Saynor makes her bid for the prize. Will her simple menu and her back-to-school theme for the evening do the trick?

West Midlands, Andrew

Second to host is Andrew, who hopes to add a pop art dimension to his 50s beatnik-themed dinner party.

Singer and confident cook Richard Wood has steak on the menu that he's going do, in the words of his hero Frank Sinatra, 'My Way'. But it's his starter that makes Virginia want to throw up. Only for Virginia to leave everyone else feeling the same when she shows them her false eye.

Huddersfield, Tommy Mack

Bury St Edmunds, Amber Elba Porter

Lecturer Amber Elba Porter plans to show the group her spiritual side as well as her nutty meringues.

Bury St Edmunds, Tim Reinman

Tim Reinman hopes his Bring your Trunks dinner party will go swimmingly. But domestic goddess Hannah Totman soon upstages him and spiritualist Amber Elba-Porter and hypnotherapist Sue Smith are not best pleased with Hannah.

Bury St Edmunds, Sue Smith

Sue Smith plans a Back to School theme. But Sue's menu leaves most of her guests totally baffled.

Bury St Edmunds, Hannah Totman

Self-styled domestic goddess Hannah Totman takes a turn to host.

South East London, Jules Hobbs

Celebrity Christmas Special, Chelsee Healey

This festive celebrity special stars not five but six celebs battling to win the £1000 prize for charity. Taking part are actors Chelsee Healey, Crissy Rock and Nick Pickard, singer Marcus Collins and model Jasmine Lennard. And, from the third show onwards, actress and TV presenter Margi Clarke joins the festive fun. First up is ditsy actress Chelsee Healey, who throws a Caribbean Christmas night. But she's never hosted a dinner party in her life, let alone cooked. It all proves too much for the host, who gets upset and storms off, abandoning her guests for most of dessert.

Celebrity Christmas Special, Nick Pickard

Hollyoaks star Nick Pickard is determined to get everyone in the festive spirit with his gourmet cuisine and 'elf' dress code. He's even got 'Jack' from Hollyoaks to create a full-blown Santa's grotto in his spare room.

Allison is going all out with a sophisticated menu and quirky entertainment to bag top marks from her guests: sociology lecturer William Dixon, Brazilian beauty counter manager Rose Proenca, adult tutor Kathy Anderson and actor Christopher Marlowe.

Portsmouth, Will Dixon

It's the turn of sociology lecturer Will Dixon to host. Will's soggy salad starter disgusts picky guest Rose Proenca, and his overcooked beef Wellington doesn't do him any favours with the rest of his guests. But some unexpected entertainment helps Will win back a few admirers.

Portsmouth, Kathy 'Hurricane' Anderson

French tutor Kathy 'Hurricane' Anderson intends to wow her guests with her Gallic-inspired menu. But all does not go to plan in the kitchen for Kathy as she battles with a mischievous pineapple that leads to near disaster. Later on, Kathy surprises everyone with some very 'French' entertainment.

Portsmouth, Christopher Marlowe

Portsmouth, Rose Proenca

It's the turn of Brazilian beauty counter manager Rose Proenca, who has prepared a special Turkish menu which wows her guests. But then things start to get a bit tricky, especially when Rose brings out some particularly excruciating entertainment.

Colchester, Richard Massey

First to host is Richard Massey, who's banking that his signature dish 'Drunken Duck' and his cheeky chappy humour will win his guests favour.

Colchester, Darius

It's the second day in Colchester and the turn of smooth talking PR man Darius, who is rustling up a menu full of local produce, including his very own blackberry wine.

First to host is zumba instructor Zoe Bailey. Zoe's guests are posh artist Penny Timmis, travelling salesman Richard Mercer, Radio DJ Paul Shuttleworth and Josh Sedgley. Zoe's soufflé starter impresses, but Richard's monologue on LED lightbulbs less so. Zoe's parlour game of gargling while humming a tune also goes down rather well.

Shropshire, Penny Timmis

Eccentric artist and dairy farmer Penny Timmis is second to host and has roped-in a dentist posing as a magician for entertainment.

Shropshire, Richard Mercer

It's the turn of lighting salesman Richard Mercer to host in Shropshire. The self-confessed gadget geek cooks paella for dinner and for entertainment suggests a game of 'Guess the Gadget'.

Shropshire, Josh Sedgley

Youngest of the group Josh Sedgley take to the kitchen, but unfortunately his meringues look a bit suspect, while Zoe laughs uncontrollably at his main course.

Shropshire, Paul Shuttleworth

The final dinner party in Shropshire is hosted by traffic reporter and radio DJ Paul Shuttleworth, who plans to mix wacky outfits, bouncy castles and fun food. But LED salesman Richard Mercer thinks Paul's pork belly main isn't quite as promised on the menu.

Lincoln, Caroline Bevis

It's the second night of the competition in Lincolnshire and medical supplier and mother-of-one Caroline Bevis is treating her guests to a Roaring 20s dinner party with a 'swellegant soufflé', 'porkin on the Ritz' for the main and a black bottom Betty torte with beetroot ice cream for dessert.

Lincoln, Richard Summers-Calvert

It's day four and body building drama student Richard Summers-Calvert is hoping to win over his guests with an audacious menu - he's serving chicken and rice for his starter, main and dessert, but with a few twists. Richard has asked his guests to come dressed as action heroes and the entertainment will be a nice game of charades.

Lincoln, Natashka Ingham

It's the final night and the turn of all-American mom and ex-barrister Natashka Ingham to really show the Brits a thing or two about cooking. Natashka is serving 'fall off your horse black bottom pie' and 'cow tail pie', and her theme for the evening is 'The Great American Dream'. Unfortunately, the talk turns to underpants and toilets.

Somerset, Kerry Mackenzie

Housewife and keen horse rider Kerry Mackenzie is hoping that her Greek menu and bubbly personality will secure her the prize.

Somerset, Simon Dyer

It's the turn of farm owner and junkyard lover Simon Dyer to host. Simon hopes to wow his guests by cooking his main course on a salvaged drum.

The guests are musical pensioner Di Dawson, quiz master Adam Reece, dog groomer extraordinaire Vicky Pell and businesswoman Sarah Freeman.

30 min
