Couples Come Dine with Me

In Leeds, the competition features a Pavarotti-style vocal performance, home-cooked fare and fine dining, a problem preparing duck to order, and a mankini...

In Luton, there's unpalatable behaviour, curdled ice cream, an eggy mishap and a hair-raising confession, as three couples compete to host the best dinner party.

In Devon, there's tension at Frankie and Jason's table, Kate and Ian entertain their guests with a bird of prey, and a surprise discovery could make Chris and Amy's meal hard to stomach...

In South Yorkshire, Phil and Ali host an evening fit for the A-list, there's romance in the air for Erica and Nigel, and art lovers Stephen and Kevin sculpt a sophisticated trifle.

In Leicester, there's food inspired by luxury cruises, a moving musical performance that reduces one guest to tears, some outspoken comments and a serving of army-style 'banter'.

In Somerset, Norman and Dee serve up Indian cuisine and charisma. Ashley lets down Sophie by wearing a creased shirt. And Brett and Vicky's chances become rarer as their steaks misfire.
