Come Dine with Me : Season 3

Rachel ropes in her husband and kids but the move backfires when the kids brownies end up in the bin.

It’s day two in Cambridge and the turn of flash estate agent Gael Norris to show her skills. Gael is a perfectionist so goes to extraordinary lengths to make sure her meal is beautifully presented.

Night three in Cambridge and it’s the turn of house husband and home grown produce fan Phil Webb, who’s hoping to impress his guests with a menu of pork straight from his own little piggies.

It’s day 4 of the competition in Cambridge and German born domestic goddess Simone Breneis is planning to pull out all the stops to make sure she wins.

The final night in Cambridge and it’s the turn of ex-nightclub singer turned market researcher Carolyn Tycer who’s concentrating more on the entertainment than the food.

It’s the first night of a week of fine dining in Ayr, and white witch Maureen McKissock is off to a spell-binding start as she prepares to throw a dinner party for four complete strangers.

It’s day two of the food lovers’ competition in Ayr, and the turn of college lecturer Elaine Munro. Elaine’s hoping her no-nonsense approach to dining will score highly.

Tonight it’s the turn of the only man in the group – Ayr's answer to Donald Trump – Forbes Robertson. Casino owner Forbes is no stranger to the high life, but he’s from humble beginnings and he’s planning a dinner party that reflects his down-to-earth roots.

It’s day four of the competition in Ayr and time for upmarket Englishwoman Lizzy McCubbin to show off her skills. She’s pulling out all the stops to offer polished presentation and the finest cuisine.

The prize for best host will be awarded this evening and Sarah will have to work hard to beat Elaine, who impressed everyone with her cool and collected hosting earlier in the week.

First up this week in Swansea is social worker David Murray. He considers himself the greatest of hosts and is hoping to wow his guests not just with his menu, but with an extravagant dining experience.

It’s the second day of the competition in Swansea. And today it’s the turn of 57 year old golfing fanatic Ernest Lemonheigh, who is hoping that his traditional Welsh fare of cockles, bacon and laver bread will be enough to bag him the £1000 prize money!

It’s the penultimate day of the culinary competition in Swansea. And today it’s the turn of 42 year old first class air hostess Karen Perry, who is hoping that her stylish salmon bake with chilli, lime and ginger will see her flying off with that £1000 first prize.

It’s the final day of our culinary competition in Swansea. Tonight it’s the turn of chocoholic super-mum, Heather Skipper. But after air-hostess Karen’s top flight performance last night Heather knows she’s got a tough challenge ahead to have a chance at winning the £1000 prize.

It’s day one of our culinary show-down, in and around the Cardiff area. And first to take on the challenge of cooking for four complete strangers is mum, and business woman, Suzanne Green, from Caerphilly. Suzanne is sure she’ll earn the highest marks from her guests by broadening their taste-bud horizons and giving them a completely new dining experience. With this in mind she serves up sweetbreads – or lambs’ testicles. It’s a risky dish to serve to four people she’s never met
