Highlights of the four nights of dining include Barrymore trying to lick dip off Anthea's foot, stealing food off other people's plates, and smashing the

In this special edition all the contestants - or should that be housemates? - are former Big Brother winners. Stepping up to the plate are series 2 winner - quick-witted, cheeky Irish chappy Brian Dowling; Big Brother 5 champion - passionate, Portuguese Nadia Almada; 2007 winner - Essex wide-boy Brian Belo; and 2009's gorgeous victor - glamour model Sophie Reade.

This time the culinary showdown comes with a soap star twist, featuring Brian Capron off Coronation Street, James Redmond from Hollyoaks, and Lorraine Chase and Adele Silva from Emmerdale, in a week of entertaining which includes persistent flirting, a spot of table football, and sombreros.

Veggie-hating food critic Mark Garner goes fork to fork with tarot card reader and vegetarian Pascha Taylor, pub landlord Jon Patullo and the racily-clad Jilly Fitzgerald. But who will rise above accusations of exclusion and sexism, desserts licked by pets, appalling service, and the shock of a fetishwear-stuffed wardrobe, to grab the prize?

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the nation's favourite soap, Come Dine with Me heads to Coronation Street. Four of Weatherfield's famous stars battle it out to bag a £1000 cash prize for charity. Legendary leopard-print landlady Bet Lynch (Julie Goodyear) takes on hapless shopkeeper Reg Holdsworth (Ken Morley), street loudmouth Kelly Crabtree (Tupele Dorgu), and bad-boy bookie Des Barnes (Philip Middlemiss), in a competition featuring some bawdy humour, a foot spar of tiny biting fish,

First up to host is PR glamour puss Lucy Richmond who hopes to make a splash with her nautical-themed evening. Day two is the turn of night club promoter Jay Paul, who despite his limited cooking experience reckons he can wow his guests with party entertainment. Day three sees lorry driver Phil Whyte divulge a string of jaw dropping revelations about his complicated sex life. The final night is hosted by fish and chip shop magnate Beverley Rees, whose evening slowly spirals out of her control.

Italian gym instructor Salvo Riggi takes on fashion-mad PA Brenda Gobine, lady of leisure Zed Kiazim, and fancy-dress loving Amanda Hull. Dog-lover Zed is first to host in a night that takes a nosedive when Salvo tells Amanda she looks like an escort. The week continues with an aphrodisiac menu, a seven-foot butler, and an explosive falling out that results in someone's dinner ending up in the bin.

A spicy-food war breaks out in Exeter between Geoff Green and up-front party girl Beka Platt. There is also a rabbit showdown later in the week between keen hunter John G. Wills and bunny-owning drama student Mandy Plumridge.

Competing for the prize in the self-proclaimed party capital of the North are finance manager Liz O'Sullivan, eyelash-extension technician Julie Scullion, trainee teacher Ritu Nayyer and smooth talking Mark Shields, who's out to woo the ladies in order to win. The week of competitive dining features a dessert disaster, leaving the sorry host in tears, a starter called `the knicker dropper' that goes down like a lead balloon, and a surprise confession on the last night that leaves the other

A brand new series of Come Dine with Me kicks off in Harrogate, where four amateur cooks compete for the coveted £1,000 prize. All the scoring is in secret and only at the end of the week is the winner revealed. Conventional Emma Revis, who'll have you know her initials are ER - the same as the Queen's - is faced with three of the most eccentric people she has ever met.
