Come Dine with Me — Season 12
Five nights in London begin with landscape gardener Greg, who describes himself as "mediocrity personified". His Spanish-inspired menu produces grumbles when there's a wait between courses, and there's also friction between the guests.
The five contestants not only sum up their competition, but all have strong opinions on who they like and don't like. Hugo Preece is second on the list to host the dinner party. He is feeling a bit worse for wear after the long previous eve…

The third night in Dundee sees Laura having to cook in front of the full view of her guests. However, most of the attention for the night is directed towards the ever-growing bromance between Adam and Jimmy.
Jimmy uses his creativity and imagination for his menu, including a main course in the shape of bagpipes. Yet while Jimmy's warm company is much appreciated by his guests, his cooking is less savoured.
The week ends not actually in Dundee, but 14 miles down the road to Adam's house in St. Andrew's. With Adam tired after the week, he accidentally cuts his finger while cooking, yet the atmosphere is warm, particularly from Jimmy.

David Ward is third on the list to host the dinner party. He wants his hosting skills to reflect an air of elegance. Elegance is also in order for his shopping trip, and in order for himself in preparation for his own presentation for the e…
