Come Dine with Me Season 30, Episode 25: Harrogate, Alasdair Moore

1

Southend, Julie-Ann Rayner

Dog-mad executive PA Julie-Ann Rayner is a dinner party veteran and has high hopes that her 'Taste of the Sea' menu - with two fish courses - will have her guests hooked, assuming that they all like fish, that is. The strangers she has to impress with her surf-themed evening are 31-year-old science teacher and proud geek Damian Loneragan, 37-year-old international DJ Scott Langley, 20-year-old barmaid and self-confessed airhead Steph Barrett and 60-year-old glamorous granny Carol Dolman. And if her fishy feast doesn't go down a treat, Julie-Ann has some musical mayhem up her sleeve.

2

Southend, Carol Dolman

Everyone hit it off and had a whale of a time at Julie-Ann's dinner party, but glamorous grandmother Carol Dolman was the big surprise: she was dressed in hotpants and a tight top and the first one up dancing, so everyone was shocked to hear that she's 60. Now it's Carol's turn to host. She's pretty confident in the kitchen, and her menu includes scallops and roast lamb. Her dress code is 'Dress to Impress,' and everyone's making a special effort, with dicky bows and ball gowns aplenty. Carol's entertainment includes tango lessons, with some flirty results, and she's got a few secrets to reveal to her guests, so it promises to be a pretty racy night...

3

Southend, Damian Loneragan

Science teacher and self-confessed geek Damian Loneragan has two chilli-based dishes on his menu. Damian goes all out to cater for each guest's individual taste, but Scott thinks the main course is the worst thing he's ever eaten.

4

Southend, Steph Barrett

It's barmaid and self-confessed airhead Steph Barrett's turn to host. Her day gets off to a disastrous start as she attempts to make pastry for the first time, so it's Nan to the rescue with some ready-made pastry. Everyone goes all out with their costumes for her 1940s fancy dress code, including Carol as a US naval officer complete with short skirt and white high heels. The guests are bowled over by the authenticity of Steph 1940s-styled home, but the biggest surprise of the evening is the quality of the food, which goes down a treat despite the day's shenanigans in the kitchen. For entertainment Steph lays on some 1940s dancing, which goes down even better than the food. The evening is brought to a close when Damian asks if Steph's ditziness is for real, and gets an answer that leaves nobody in any doubt.

5

Southend, Scott Langley

International DJ and Jack-the-lad Scott Langley has taken a massive gamble and decided to serve fried pigeon for his main course.

And he's planned something pretty special for his entertainment, which he's pretty sure is going to blow his guests away...

6

15

Lincolnshire, Alex Coxon
