The dinner plates are cleared, the scores are tallied, and the tension is thicker than grandma’s gravy. “Come Dine With Me” reaches its climactic final night in Belfast this Friday, as amateur pilot James takes the culinary reins, hoping his Mexican-inspired menu will land him the coveted £1,000 prize.
Throughout the week, James has proven to be something of an enigma to his fellow contestants. Aodhan’s primary focus, as always, appears to be the food, while Andrea is sharpening her critical knives, eager to dissect James’s every culinary move. But it’s Kirsty’s reaction to a photograph of James’ wedding reception that hints at real fireworks. Whatever secrets James has been harboring, they look set to be revealed.
Will James’s dinner party be a high-flying success, sending him soaring to culinary victory? Or will his attempt at Mexican cuisine leave him stranded on the runway of defeat? Find out when “Come Dine with Me” airs Friday, March 7th at 5:30 PM on Channel 4.
