Jonathan Lomas hopes to wow his guests with his Greek-inspired menu plus a bonding session in his garden hot tub, while Alicia hopes to take the heat off matters by playing the didgeridoo.

The last to host in Manchester is dandy film student Dennis Keighron-Foster, who plans a tricky duck and risotto main course and a performance from his glee club pals.

First to host is fashion journalist Robert Johnston, who serves a starter of Stilton ice cream and tomato sorbet, slow roasted pork with chilli and fennel, and sephardic orange and almond cake.

Trainee aqua-aerobics instructor Jennifer is keen to keep it real with a mountain of home-cooked Caribbean food and a demand that her guests just 'chillax'.

Bricklayer Joe is next to host. But after insulting Karen on Monday night can Joe turn things around with his mystery Greek main course?

Is Karen trying a little too hard with a whopping seven dishes including Chinese duck, French pate, Greek lamb, and American cheescake?

It's the final day and the turn of laid-back host Majid Ravandi. But can Majid's breezy composure make up for a terrifyingly hot prawn starter and a dry main course?

First to host in Hertfordshire is Iranian born Amir Hezarah whose strategy is to be on his best behaviour for his night, before showing his real colours for the rest of the week. He's ultra confident of impressing his guests with an Iranian feast of lamb stew and rose water ice cream.

Neat freak Claire Diamond hopes to excite her guests with a starter of crispy chilli chicken, a main of roast rack of lamb with potato dauphinoise, and a huge dessert of panacotta, meringue and chocolate cheesecake, while trying to keep her house spotlessly clean.

The guests all seem to appreciate her menu apart from Amir, who starts to show his true colours by having a hissy fit about the simplicity of the food.

As the evening unfolds there is a shock discovery in the bathroom and a surprise with the starter.

Posh boy and wannabe pop star Charles Maximilian Winnington Leftwich hopes his elaborate menu and outdoor music performances will wow his guests and win him top marks.

But it's not an easy ride for the young host who lives at home with his mum. The guests struggle with his starter, the rain threatens to spoil the BBQ, and a row develops about how much money Charles receives from his parents.

It's Diane Mitham's turn to host. And so far the week has been dominated by Amir and constant arguing, so Diane is determined to let her food do the talking and impress her guests with a simple menu of carrot and coriander soup, chicken lemon drizzle followed by witches deadly cream scoop.

But the evening gets off to an interesting start when she introduces her beloved pet, an 8-year-old tarantula!

It's the final day of the competition in Hertfordshire and the turn of feisty hairdresser Mel Steel to demonstrate her culinary skills with a mix of French and Caribbean dishes.

For once, it's not the food that has the guests rattled, but the request to arrive in fancy dress. Will Charles and Amir quit their sniping and call it a truce? And will Mel's dress code lose her points, or will her eclectic menu be the winning formula that bags her the cash prize?

Colin's main course is a retro toad in the hole, but his gravy goes lumpy, and he also uses ginger instead of garlic for his garlic baked prawns.

Ex-copper Kerry Tolliday is going big on taste with her menu and is also laying on a psychic medium for the entertainment.

It's the final day and beefy butcher Scott plans a hearty meaty menu. But what happens when Andie decides to confront Scott about alleged sexist behaviour?

First to host is self proclaimed princess Tracey Durrant. But will Tracey's attitude lose her precious points?

Lady of leisure Daniella is pinning her hopes on an Italian menu and the wow factor of her Georgian country house.

Angela McFarlane's planning a fun-filled evening complete with a limbo competition. Over the starter Elliot and Denise confront Angela about the strange things they found in her bedroom drawers, and it's not long before Angela's behaviour returns to form with some saucy talk.

Last to host in Birmingham is devilishly good-looking French foodie Jean-Benoit, who plans a fabulous four-course menu.

But can Jean-Benoit find a way of overcoming Denise's fussy eating habits and her tendency towards toilet talk?

Saucy beautician Rochelle Barrett hopes to spice things up with her Caribbean-themed meal. But a celebrity lookalike game causes tempers to boil over.

Vegan-activist Donna Thomas hopes to impress her guests with her Japanese-themed vegan meal. And Mark gets quite excited at the prospect of a deep fried ice-cream dessert.

Mark Feakins plans a flamboyant, highly theatrical sounding menu for his night. But will the food be as impressive as it sounds? And will his wine gag backfire?

Sarah Roscoe is last to host and hopes to triumph with her gourmet Michelin-inspired menu.

But her decision to cook veal for her main dish has not gone down well with Donna the vegan. And will Robin's wind-ups finally get to her?
