Two decades of culinary catastrophes, awkward small talk, and passive-aggressive scorecards – “Come Dine with Me” is celebrating 20 years of dinner party disasters. On Tuesday, the competition heats up in Cambridge, where party-loving employee benefits manager Kate hopes her Italian-inspired menu will impress her guests. However, content creator Josh’s messy eating habits, culminating in a belch that sends food airborne, threaten to overshadow her efforts.
One guest’s extreme reaction to Josh downing a blended concoction of the crab ravioli starter adds another layer of chaos to the mix. It’s the kind of unpredictable moment that has kept “Come Dine with Me” a fixture on British television for two decades. As the show marks its 20th anniversary, it’s clear that the recipe for disaster, seasoned with a healthy dose of British eccentricity, still works.
Tune in to Channel 4 at 5:30 PM on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, for another helping of “Come Dine with Me.”
