This week we’re in Torbay on the not-so-sunny English Riviera for Come Dine With Me
First to cook is 23 stone street warden, Gavin Dyer, whose overly ambitious menu soon has him sweating… profusely.
Next up, super fastidious housewife, Alison Deare: cleans for at least 3 hours a day, doesn’t like any clutter as it ‘gathers dust’ and is worried about catching warts from the inside of eggs. Somehow in between her mopping and wiping Alison finds time to prepare an Italian-themed dinner for her guests.
Day three of the culinary competition in Torbay is the turn of political activist and bingo enthusiast, David Ward. A few cracks have started to show between the guests and he’ll have his work cut out keeping the peace.
Next comes restoration expert, Patrick Walker, who is keen to show off his palatial house, including ‘the biggest Aga in the village’. Will his classical approach to cooking live up to the setting?
It’s up to final host, Carol, to provide a pleasurable dinner party experience if she wants to try and win that £1000 final prize.
Watch the Torbay chefs in action, weekdays from 15th June, 5:30pm on Channel 4
