Britain’s amateur cooks have been sabotaging dinner parties for nearly two decades in the hope of winning £1,000. Here’s what we’ve come to expect from the UK’s most revealing reality show
Bubbling away in its 20th year, Channel 4’s Come Dine With Me is one of the most delicious reality shows ever created.
Five (or sometimes four) contestants each make a three-course meal for the others over the course of a week, for the chance to win £1,000. Each meal is hosted at a contestant’s house, where wine is drunk, bedside drawers are snooped through, ill-advised party games are concocted and hilarity ensues. Then, in the cab home, the diners rate the meal out of 10.
