20 years of Come Dine with Me

Two decades of food, fun and fallouts…

Knives, forks and popping corks! This coming week Channel 4 are celebrating twenty culinary years of dinner party debauchery, as the home-cooking and hosting competition returns for a new run as tasty and tantalising as ever.

Each week, five strangers take it in turns to host a dinner party, scoring each other behind closed cupboard doors, and at the end of the week, the top-scoring host wins £1000.

Kicking off a week in Cambridge, businesswoman and ‘Queen of Etiquette’ Rebecca is going all-out to impress her guests with a sophisticated dinner party full of fancy high-end food. But Rebecca didn’t bank on having social media content creator Josh coming over – especially when his unique way of eating proves a little disturbing.

Employee benefits manager Kate and wellness retreat host Nici are both convinced that they have a celebrity in their midst when they meet mushroom farm owner and uber foodie Mark. The group are introduced to another side of this coming week’s host when they have an impromptu rave in the garden.

Everyone gets involved, with Josh, Nici and Mark busting moves that won’t be forgotten in a hurry. Will Rebecca’s attempt to host a sophisticated night bag her the £1000 prize, or will it all end in chaos?

Come Dine With Me, Channel 4, Monday to Friday at 5.30 pm
