High-jump champion Dalton Grant reaches new lows with a limbo dancing contest during a Caribbean-themed night.

Housewife Beccy Harrison, DJ Paul Green, glam marketing girl Eve Clark, and amateur dramatics director Mark Daniels battle it out for the prize.

Beccy's Thai-themed evening is swamped by DJ Paul - who takes over every conversation, and can't stop trying to chat up Eve.

Drama darling Mark's naked pictures raise a few eyebrows on his night as host.

Eve Clark's night features `One Hull of a Menu', including `Hulloumi Salad'. But it's Eve's cocktail dress and heels that really get the thumbs up from Paul.

Last to host is Paul, who hopes his version of gourmet food and a naff disco will pull in the points.

In a Come Dine with Me first, the culinary competition ventures abroad to the sunny Costa del Sol, where four amateur ex-pat chefs compete for the coveted £1000 prize. As usual, all the scoring's in secret and only at the end of the week is the winner revealed.

Budding entrepreneur Mekala Hodgson starts off the Spanish week with a very un-Spanish menu - pie and mash to be precise - in celebration of her Essex roots.

Next up, well-bred, bi-lingual Greg Van Praagh attempts to wow with some complicated cookery. But a wobbly dessert results in some guests throwing 'wobblies' of their own!

Sun-worshipping retiree John Morton intends to host an evening of entertainment and hilarity, but when one of his jokes backfires it all goes spectacularly wrong and sparks fly.

It falls to the final competitor - fun-loving Mandy Strutton - to try to ease tensions within the group with a Thai menu. But will they be able to patch things up before the winner is revealed?

On night two, winger Martin Offiah attempts a night of fine dining involving mussels and an 'authentic' Nigerian stew.

Prop forward Victor Ubogu decides to lighten the mood on night three by getting everyone up close and personal with some sheep. And as 'lightweights' Martin and Kyran re left lagging, things get even more lively when Victor's guests discover that his dining table doubles as a pool table.

Battling it out in the north east are English teacher and competitive foodie Jenni McGagh, hairdresser Bobby Mukabaa, bowel-obsessed colonic irrigationist Cath Morgan, and cheeky-chappy butcher Dan Freeman.

While Bobby looks a bit like Gazza and brags about his celebrity client list, Jenni's none too keen on his bread and butter pudding, and decides to hide it.

Cath's `bowel-enhancing' evening leaves her guests wanting less information.

Butcher Dan hopes his award-winning black pudding and top quality steak fillets will win him the competition. But unfortunately he makes a schoolboy error cooking his meat.

Helen has set herself a challenge with multiple courses in an oriental theme and she's determined to cook everything from scratch.

Pop wannabe Andy has decided to use his boyish charms to win points, rather than offering complicated dishes on his menu.

Nigel hopes his happy-go-lucky nature and a bizarre, dream-inspired Italian menu will be enough to land him the prize.

Last to host is cake maker Deborah, who finally gets the chance to show off her much-bragged-about culinary skills. Will she be left with egg on her face when she serves a breakfast fry-up as one of her courses?

Punk rock vegan Jhon's dinner party features a menu of spicy peanut soup, fake steak pie and cheesecake. He also throws in some face painting on arrival before stripping naked at the dinner table!

Elvis enthusiast Anson offers a simple menu of asparagus wrapped in ham, fish for the carnivores, pie for Jhon and pancakes for dessert.

The final dinner party is hosted by hairdresser Terese. She's looking forward to the meal but the simmering tension between her and Selena soon comes to a head.

Bahareh likes to look good at all times and plans to entertain her three male guests with a spot of belly dancing. But what will they make of her Iranian-inspired dinner?

Harry's eel starter raises a few eyebrows on day two, but it it's Jan's dancing that steals the show. On day three Jan hosts an evening at the races, while day four sees tensions rise and a confrontational chat between Jan and Ansa.

Duncan Norvelle's night includes a live nativity scene, a Cliff Richard impersonator, opera singers and fireworks. But how does his cooking hold up?

Paul Tonkinson impresses with his home-made cooking and some feel-good Christmas carol singers, while Gina lays on a risky raw-food menu, some festive fancy dress and a group dance with a gospel choir.
