Come Dine with Me S1:E5

Stoke, Jane Bagley

Part-time opera diva Jane Bagley from Come Dine With Me Stoke kicks off with a menu that looks set to impress. Her obsession with lists should ensure nothing is left to chance but the prospect of four strangers judging every last mouthful proves overwhelming.

Stoke, Sarah Adams-Lipa

Sarah provides this weeks second dinner and a glimpse into the glamours life of a real footballer's wife.

Stoke, Tricia Martin

Tricia Martin - Stoke's answer to Hyacinth Bucket - makes her bid for dinner party dominance in this episode of Come Dine With Me. Tricia's menu is carefully thought out: home-made watercress soup, fish pie and a sensational pannetone bread-and-butter pudding which she hopes will win top marks from her guests.

Stoke, Lesley Blood

Estate agent and former Miss Stoke finalist Lesley creates an extraordinary three-course all-chocolate menu. Can her guests stomach it?

London, Moona Messamri

Meet domestic goddess, Moona Messamri, from Come Dine With Me London. She believes her 10-course Italian feast will wow her guests and guarantee her top marks, but with such an extensive menu has she bitten off more than she can chew?

London, Bruce Mainwaring

City slicker, Bruce Mainwaring, from Come Dine With Me London plans to wow his guests with his stunning bachelor pad and extensive wine cellar. He's playing to win, but is so caught up with his food and wine that he makes some basic culinary blunders. But when the guests arrive, it soon becomes clear that Moona prefers the role of host to guest. She's no longer centre of attention and not happy sitting in Bruce's shadow.

London, Pauline Morrison

Canadian Pauline lives in a small, cramped flat and has a plan to host a garden barbecue to give her guests room. Yet while her food goes down well, fetishist Pauline's decision to have a burlesque dancer as entertainment divides opinion.

London, Michael O'Keefe

Innovator, Michael O'Keefe, takes a relaxed approach to hosting in Come Dine With Me London. He believes success lies in perfect planning rather than slaving over a hot stove, so he's booked Caroline the caterer to cook up the winning dinner. For Michael, it's off to the poodle parlour to give his beloved dog Cosmo some pampering, followed by browsing round the shops and a leisurely coffee.

London, Belinda Taylor

Belinda hosts the final dinner party in Come Dine With Me London. Her newly decorated modern dining room is her pride and joy and she's hoping it will rid her of the "mumsy" image the rest of the group have labelled her with. Belinda's cooking a traditional roast meal (which probably won't help with the "mumsy" thing).

Leeds, Vera Liburd

Spiky-haired, leopard-printed dinner lady Vera Liburd welcomes four complete strangers into her home for the first dinner party in Come Dine With Me Leeds. And this dinner lady is hoping to cook her guests something a little more sophisticated than the average school dinner. She's confident that she can impress these four foodies with her cooking, but nerves and her own lethal fruit punch ensure the evening doesn't turn out exactly how she'd planned.

Leeds, Stuart Moss

Stuart creates something you’ve never seen before by combining two British favourites - the full English breakfast and the curry.

Leeds, Craig McAlpine

Super suave 25-year-old Craig is planning a thoroughly sophisticated evening for his guests. But will his formal manner stifle the atmosphere?

Leeds, Pippa Hudson

Pippa Hudson is well practised in the art of entertaining, but there's a small problem with her guests: she doesn't like them. In the fourth episode of Come Dine With Me Leeds we witness Pippa trying to make up for her lack of enthusiasm for the company with her food and wine

Leeds, Paul Ulett

It's the last menu of the competition in Come Dine With Me Leeds and the turn of former army chef Paul Ulett to host his dinner. He runs his kitchen by the 'five Ps' (prior preparation prevents poor performance). Will his army background ensure everything runs with military precision? Or will the evening turn into a boot camp for his guests?

London, Jane Furlong

Office manager Jane cooks up a lavish five-course banquet, but how will the guests react to her obsession with all things purple?

London, David Thomas

The centrepiece of debonair David's meal is ‘Duck in a Box’, a dish that he's created himself and involves a very clever trick with duck breasts and a loaf of bread.

London, Sarah Donohue

It's Sarah's turn to show off her hosting skills. She's laying on a 12-starter extravaganza. But will her love for the Middle East prove her undoing as well as her inspiration?

London, Rocky Scott

Rocky Scott doesn't believe dinner parties should be hard work. She relies on good, honest home cooking, most of which (in her case) can be bought from the shop.

London, Paul Martin

Paul’s homemade bread is calculated to impress, and his lemon tart looks truly delicious. The oven gloves are off for the final dinner party of Come Dine With Me!
