Come Dine with Me - Season 14 (2010)

A wintertime celebrity edition with former newsreader Jan Leeming, ex EastEnder Dave 'Keith' Spinx, singer Javine, and ultimate undercover reporter Donal MacIntyre. Expect love, lust, nudity, tears and... Fried Balls.

A week of dinner parties from Dudley in the West Midlands leads a wannabe-Wag, a podium dancing female plumber, a fan of self-grown food, and a hyper-critical guest into conflict. The four evenings feature insults, psychic readings, the demonstration of surprising skills and an old-fashioned burlesque entertainment as the four compete for the £1,000 cash prize.

In Cheltenham champagne socialite Cathy, lady-of-the manor Vanessa, straight-talking Janice, and Alex, the quartet's only male, battle it out for the culinary prize.

In south east London cheeky chappy Terry, glam pub singer Ita, eccentric artist Jon, and well-to-do retired businessman Oliver take turns to host.

Charity worker and chatterbox Louise takes on Tracy, whose collection of religious memorabilia startles her guests, retired banker Rob, and estate agent Zac, who produces a menu consisting of dishes he has invented himself.

In Herts, Perry Jones believes twenty years hosting dinner parties will see him win. But a menu including two tins of chicken soup poured over chicken breasts leaves everyone scratching their heads. His rival hosts are the fiercely competitive dentist, Amit Koshal, food snob Kelly Hatt, and 'diamond-gastronomic-geezer' Heath Reid.

In the fishing town of Grimsby straight-talking Jackie Critten takes on Mr Phil - `I'm always right' - Cowper, resident glamour puss Shanelle Cutsforth, and self-confessed campest straight man in the world, Chris Wood. There will be ostrich, fancy dress and some fireworks over dessert.

In North East Kent single mum Vanessa Boukharouba faces outspoken butcher Scott Taylor, joker John O¿Connor and personal trainer Annette Evans, for a week of entertaining which includes a spot of cross dressing, some near-to-the-knuckle truth telling, and a heated debate about Gordon Ramsay that almost gets out of hand.

In Sheffield super smooth Marshal takes on private eye Janine, trainee-surgeon Amanda, and Neale, who has a scheme he thinks is sure to win him the prize. But Amanda's night of fine Italian dining doesn't quite go to plan. Neale's veggie feast proves a challenge to the three meat-eaters round the table. 'People's Champion' Marshal stuns his guests with his extraordinary performance of an almost-naked, African mask dance. And Janine's night features an argument and some tears.

It's the final night of the competition, and pole dance instructor Ricky is feeling confident that his charm offensive through the week will reap its rewards, only to make a shocking revelation about himself that leaves everyone speechless.

First up to cook in Bury is spooky business development manager Juliet Eastham, who is convinced that she shares her home with spirits from the afterlife. Will the guests be scared off by Juliet's spooky home, or will her heavenly menu be enough to secure her the £1,000 prize?

Next to host in Bury burlesque dancer and 1950s-style pin-up, Nikki Salt, who is confident her retro US menu will win over her guests. But when the bickering starts up round the table, Nikki's alter ego Willow Blue puts on a burlesque performance to ease the tension.

School teacher James Perkin plans to cook all his favourite dishes, including a Sri Lankan curry. But will it be too fiery? And what will the guests make of the limericks James has written about them?

Waiter and all-round entertainer Ali McKernan stuns his guests with his dog biscuit appetiser. But the night ends with Ali strumming a Britney Spears cover on his ukulele, confident that the prize is in the bag.

The competition in Bury concludes at accountant Paula Skelton's house. Having spent the week over-indulging and falling out with her fellow diners, expectations for Paula's night are not high. And that's before she introduce everyone to her smelly pet ferret.

First up in Manchester is brash and boisterous pub landlady Bessie Hilton, with a menu featuring instant custard, and a main course called Marmite chicken with cream.

Second to host in Manchester is Giovanni, who aims to impress by serving some classic Italian food. But it's not long before he's rowing again with Bessie.

Alicia Coppola is serving grilled tiger prawns, Caribbean lamb, nutty chocolate brownies, and possibly the strongest rum cocktail ever made.

First to host in Warwickshire is lollipop lady Alexis, who's serving up an indulgent American themed menu. But Anthony worries about the calorie content, while interior designer Adam ruffles some feathers with tales of his `previous life' as a medieval prince.

Interior designer Adam Kitchener is the latest to host in Warwickshire, with a little help from his spirit guide Nanny Annie. What do the guests make of Adam's oriental lasagne?

In Warwickshire ex-Royal Navy man Anthony Deas is on a mission to outgun the opposition with his military precision. And new guest Lisa starts a lively debate about the monarchy.

Latest to host is glamorous young Antonia, who has risen to the challenge by booking a chart-topping performer. But the 'chart-topper' who leaps out from behind the living room curtains, isn't exactly the household name the guests were all hoping for.

First to host in Barnsley is mobile hairdresser Verene, with a menu including kangaroo fillet with a confit of quandong and yakajirri rosti. Will part-time drag queen and cautious diner Christian find the kangaroo hard to swallow?

It's the turn of Paul Hoyle to host in Barnsley, and `Party Paul' has not one, not two, but three different types of entertainment on the menu, one of which includes swimwear.

It's day three in South Yorkshire, and flamboyant part time drag queen Christian Whiteley-Mason plans to host his evening in the guise of his drag queen alter ego Lady Bacardi.
