Come Dine with Me : Season 22

First to host in Coventry is 22-year-old wannabe glamour model Annierose Crone, who loves sausages so much they will feature not only in her starter and her main, but her dessert as well.

Chris Tabor - master chocolatier and all-round food snob - takes up the culinary challenge with a fancy menu that provokes some mixed reactions from the others, with Chris and pub landlord Tony Jackson falling out.

Part-time pro-wrestler Joanne Edwards leads with the risky strategy of preparing dishes that she has never cooked before. And her lack of practice soon shows as she ends up making more of a dog's dinner than haute cuisine.

Picky pub landlord Tony Jackson rolls out his pub-themed night. But can Tony please arch rival Chris, who's looking for revenge?

It's the last night of the competition and hair salon owner Michelle Russell must not only host, but manage the tensions and frustrations bubbling close to the surface. The evening begins on a high with champagne in Michelle's garden, but the good mood quickly sours as last night's host Tony decides tonight's the night to wind everyone up. And when Jo makes a shock announcement and refuses to eat Michelle's lamb, the atmosphere at the table soon turns frosty.

Promotions rep Dawn Griffiths is confident that her Asian-themed evening of curry and traditional Indian dancing will scoop the prize. But she's got a tough crowd to please, a rowdy bunch made up of practical joker Ron Gordon, mouthy market trader Kay Griffiths, sophisticated teacher and thespian Karena Serdecka, and bin man Paul Tidy.

Practical joker Ron Gordon hopes an evening of expertly cooked food, elegant hosting skills, and a couple of surprises for his guests will win him the competition in Middlesborough. He is also determined to get a word in edgeways with noisy Kay who dominated last night's dinner party and ruffled a few feathers in the process.

Self-confessed loud mouth Kay Griffiths hopes to liven up her guests with a night full of good food, colourful conversation, some conflict, and her homemade punch.

Cosmopolitan drama teacher Karena Serdecka is treating her guests to a Dutch/Polish menu and her rock chick performance, taking to the stage to sing with her band in a skin tight mini dress and platform boots.

It's the final night of the competition from Middlesbrough and bin man Paul Tidy is planning a movie star, fancy dress theme party, and lots of garlic. Paul loves garlic, but Ron doesn't. Unfortunately for Ron, Paul's meatball sauce includes five whole bulbs of garlic alone. Paul's got a lot on his plate - even without all that extra garlic - so will he be able to clinch the prize money or will his night end in tears and indigestion?

The latest cook-off comes from West Yorkshire, where first to host is 50-year-old, no-nonsense healthcare worker, Bev Stewart, whose menu includes fish fingers, meat and potato pie, and jelly and ice-cream. Hair salon owner Rebecca hates fish fingers, computer network engineer Adam feels a meat and potato pie isn't special enough, sales advisor Philomena hates ice-cream, while business owner Charlie assumes the host must be a male school-teacher. Bev has plenty of things in store to get people

Forty-year-old computer engineer Adam Bolam-Peel has plenty of surprises up his sleeve - from Northumbrian pipe playing to a session of poetry writing. But as the evening unfolds it doesn't take long for nit-picking guest Philomena to find fault with Adam's cluttered house. And to make matters worse, Charlie can't resist goading Rebecca about her teeth.

Image-conscious salon owner Rebecca Saunders has plumped for a 'Glitz and Glam' dress code as part of her evening in Keighley that also includes a mock makeover for everyone.

It's the turn of 47-year-old Italian sales advisor Philomena Golenya, who is serving a four course menu that's she's written out in Italian. Charlie accidentally breaks Philomena's chair and Philomena has to put out a fire in the kitchen. But her Italian dancing proves to be quite a hit - with at least one of her guests.

It's the final night and last to host is Charlie Walker, who intends a night of extravagant entertainment with a 'Stylish with Swimwear' dress code and a hot tub disco.

A new round of the culinary competition begins in Leeds, where first host Catherine Williams, a pescetarian, is cooking a South American-inspired menu for her guests.

Second to host in Leeds is outspoken South African Garth Kirsten-Landman, who is hoping his unusual menu - featuring kangaroo meat - will bag him the £1000 prize.

It's Day 3 in Leeds and fun-loving banker Sam Appleby's turn to host. His 'Best of British' themed night features a Henry VIII outfit and a traditional menu with chargrilled lamb.

Day 4 in Leeds sees company administrator Louise Emmerson as host. She opts for a Mediterranean menu inspired by her former mother-in-law, featuring Madrid chicken and aubergine bake.

It's the final day of the contest in Leeds and the turn of high-flying property developer Diane Jones to cook. Her menu features Greek filo pastries and a main of cod in Italian sauce.

First to host in Wolverhampton is housing officer Niru Ghai-Read, who's confident her Indian menu and bombardment of entertainment will scoop the prize. Niru's going head-to-head with hippy Kyle Ferguson, part-time model May Dudley, lothario Stefano Scaringi, and highly-competitive student Bally Singh. Stefano stuns them all when he asks May some extremely intimate questions, and Niru has a naughty threesome up her sleeve for dessert. It's a noisy and eventful night, with awkward dance moves

It's the turn of Stefano Scaringi to try to wow his guests in Wolverhampton. The restaurant manager has more than food on his mind, however, as he plans to curry favour with May.

It's the day three and fun-loving Bally Singh is hoping a 'student night' can scoop him the prize. May has to put up with more of Stefano's one-liners. While Bally's starter of beans on toast leaves his guests gobsmacked.

IT worker and self-confessed hippy Kyle Ferguson is hoping to prove himself in the kitchen. But is he just too laid back to pull off his Wolverhampton-inspired menu?

The final day of the competition sees model May Dudley, a self-confessed culinary novice, rely on a 'mum-knows-best' approach. Things go well until serving the tiger prawn starter sends May's stress levels through the roof.
