Bobby is sure he's learned his lesson after the blunders of his previous party, where he served up measly portions and an inedible dessert. Bobby's love of fun and frolics is the inspiration behind his `School Days' theme menu and dress code. And while tiny dancer Wayne Sleep is excited about trying `Sir's Sausage and Mash', actress Lesley Joseph is more concerned about looking a prat in her pinafore and straw boater. With It Girl Tamara Beckwith and Apprentice star Raef Bjayou adding a generous dollop of posh perspective, Bobby's evening quickly becomes a raucous night of bad behaviour, poor spelling and even a caning for mischievous schoolboy Wayne.

And Apprentice star Raef Bjayou may have come dressed as a manly Ring Master but he soon finds himself dancing the Can-Can with the rest of them. By the time dessert arrives it's all too much for socialite Tamara Beckwith. Buckle up for one of the most raucous, debauched and just plain silly nights in Come Dine with Me history.

But it's going to take more than that to impress last night's host Matthew Emson, who declares that the `gloves are off' now that his night is over.

November 28, 2011

Come Dine With Me is in Norwich, and first to host is MA student and part-time waitress Miranda Robinson. With her staple uniform of high heels and short skirts, Miranda claims that although she looks like a bimbo she is actually rather intelligent. She hopes to impress her diners with her posh starter of Escargot de Bourgogne. Miranda is adamant that everyone should at least try her starter, but some of her guests find them hard to swallow, in particular fussy chip van owner Cheryl Pennell, who isn't keen on eating any "foreign muck". But house music producer Danny Bond - otherwise known as DJ Gadget Man - loves snails when they are cooked to perfection (he won't be satisfied with rubber bullets). Her guests are less fearful of her main course - sea bass with roasted vegetables - but local radio DJ Dave Webster does not spend his evening masticating over bones. Completing the Norwich line-up is self-confessed smarty pants Amy Nicholson who finds the perfect opportunity to show off when conversation turns to Miranda's ostentatious word-wall. So, will Miranda's saucy outfits, posh menu and high-brow dinner conversation bag her £1,000 prize? Or will the snails and pretension leave her guests feeling sluggish and uncomfortable?

22x147 - Norwich, Danny Bond

November 29, 2011

It's the second day of the competition in Norwich and the turn of international DJ Danny Bond (aka Gadget Man) to host. Danny sweats it out in the kitchen with a very adventurous menu and as he pushes his culinary skills to the limit, it's touch and go whether he will pull it off. And he's got a DJ dress code to boot. While Danny's food goes down well with his guests, the host himself is unimpressed with the outcome, and his time spent away from the table leaves the guests feeling a little let down by Danny's hosting skills. Will Danny's fancy menu and entertainment of a group sing-along be enough to win over his fellow diners and bag him the £1,000 cash prize?

22x149 - Norwich, Dave Webster

December 1, 2011

It's day four of the competition and time for Norwich's version of Alan Partridge, aka radio DJ Dave Webster, to cook. He's planning a Norfolk-inspired menu, which should hopefully please one of his guests, fuss-pot and foreign food hater Cheryl Pennell. The night kicks off with a few giggles when Amy and Miranda stumble across a photo of their host in speedos. And the Dave-bashing continues when he asks his guests to guess his job. Not that Dave cares, he's too busy congratulating himself on his culinary excellence. Dave's 'entertainment' initially seems underwhelming, but it causes rather a stir when Miranda gets competitive and loses her rag. So, will his traditional Norfolk food win over his diners and bag him the £1,000 prize or will tempers and tantrums spoil the night?

22x150 - Norwich, Cheryl Pennell

December 2, 2011

The final night in Norwich sees chip shop van owner Cheryl Pennell cook for her guests. Luckily for Cheryl, her van is parked on the drive ready for her to serve her 'posh' fish and chips. However, things don't go quite according to plan when one deep fat fryer fails to heat up leaving her cooking plans in disorder. Once she gets the food on the table, Miranda wastes no time in drawing attention to her cleavage and some misplaced chilli sauce. As the night progresses Cheryl finally gets something she's been dying all week off her chest. After a week of exotic dining, will Cheryl's 'posh' fish and chips be enough to win over her guests and win that £1,000 cash prize?

The opening night sees singer Linda Nolan hosting with a Jack and the Beanstalk-themed dinner and the cast for this evening's performance truly enter into the panto spirit.

December 27, 2011

The second day of the Christmas special sees Big Brother villain 'Nasty Nick' Bateman play host, and he's planned a Dickensian Christmas Carol themed evening with all the trimmings. It soon becomes clear that Nick is taking his role of Scrooge too seriously and his guests are shocked when they see the tiny amount of food on their plates and the portion control applied to the dessert. To make matters worse, Nasty Nick's hosting leaves a lot to be desired and even a rousing chorus of Ding Dong Merrily on High fails to end the evening on a high note.

22x158 - Celebrity Christmas Special, Bianca Gascoigne

December 28, 2011

Day three's pantomime is Snow White, casting model Bianca Gascoigne in the lead role as host. Her welcome certainly doesn't fall flat and, with her bevy of seven dwarves, her entertainment hits just the right note. However, it's not just the spuds on the stove simmering, as tensions at the table between 'Nasty Nick' Bateman and Linda Nolan threaten to boil over. Will Bianca's festive blow-out impress her guests or will tensions cost her the £1000 charity prize?

22x159 - Celebrity Christmas Special, Danny Young

December 29, 2011

It's day four of the pantomime inspired Christmas special and the host is soap actor turned panto star Danny Young, who's putting on an Aladdin themed evening for his guests. Danny prefers takeaways to cooking and normally leaves things to his girlfriend. It soon becomes clear that he's been given a hand in preparing his meal, which he still manages to mess up. His guests arrive resplendent in Far Eastern costumes. The arrival of a belly dancer lightens the mood and there's wall-to-wall wobbling flesh as the celebrities burn off some of the calories they have consumed.

22x160 - Celebrity Christmas Special, Colin Baker

December 30, 2011

The final pantomime curtain call is provided by former Doctor Who actor Colin Baker, whose Cinderella themed evening is a ball.

Entertainment is provided by Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer as you've never seen him before and one of the guests walks away with a Christmas present of £1000 for charity.
