On the penultimate night in Cambridge, mushroom farm manager Mark hopes to curry favour with his guests by dishing up an authentic Indian banquet.

The second host in Cambridge, party-loving employee benefits manager Kate, is confident that her Italian-inspired menu will impress her guests and bag her the prize but etiquette-obsessed businesswoman Rebecca has her eye on content creator Josh, who has a taste for smashing his food together and making a real mess of the table.

The final host in Leamington Spa is lively administrative assistant Nikki, who's hoping that her musically themed menu will see her singing her way to the £1,000 prize. However, she puts her foot in it right from the start with publican Sis - likening her to a sloth. With tensions already running high with Debs, things take a turn for the awkward over mains when Nikki lets her real feelings out and things get heated around the table. Nikki cannot quite get her crowd going with her entertainment as she performs Man I Feel Like a Woman - even if it does get fellow ally Barry in the dancing mood.

The penultimate host in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, is publican Sis, who dons her hosting hat with a sports-inspired evening in a bid to wow her guests with some home-cooked favourites.

In Durham, the fourth host is recruitment consultant and ex-trampolining pro Matthew, who hopes to impress his guests with an Ibiza-themed party, where Spanish food and full-on clubbing are on the menu.

Competitive sales manager Mike is sure he's in the top spot, but Rory knows his biggest threat is other events manager Nesha, - who has been a constant critic over the week. Vegan hippy hairdresser Starr has suffered a rough ride with the food she's been served this week and tonight's no exception when her dessert is a disaster.

The week's dinner parties continue to be served in south London. After the chilled-out vibes of Staar's dinner the previous evening, Nesha is keen to up the energy levels and deliver on the high standards of cooking she has been promoting all week. Confident, she goes all-out for her guests, but will it be enough to get her hands on the £1,000 prize?

In Edinburgh, American-born Gerald takes his guests Stateside with a menu of diner classics, but he soon finds himself on the back foot when finicky foodie Anthony gives his grub a grilling. Later there's Presidential name dropping, dubious doppelgangers and as the evening draws to a close, preening and pouting when the diners take part in a bizarre beauty pageant.

Library worker Carmen hosts the third evening in Edinburgh, serving up posh versions of her childhood favourites, so she asks her guests to come dressed as their 10-year-old selves.

She's hoping that a homely night with some tried and tested dishes and a decent dose of banter will wow her competition - but will it be enough for her to clinch the £1000 cash prize? For that, she'll need to impress straight-talking business woman, Alison, excitable dentist Amarinder, child talent agency owner Donia and fish salesman, Dean. With a menu cleverly designed for ease, channelling her events planning experience and a sprinkle of good ol' Essex charm - will Nat have done enough to bag herself the grand?

This week the competition is in Blackpool and Preston where first to host is 26-year-old student and barmaid Rachel. She's hoping her American diner-themed menu will win her the £1000 prize.

Everyone agrees that her hosting is rockin', but will her cooking be enough to top the leaderboard at the end of the week?

On the final day in the West Country, retired military police officer Debs plans to treat her guests to a medieval feast of local legends including 'flying Monk', 'fish platter' and 'lamb leg of barmaid gobbled tiger'. Debs is really under pressure after drama teacher and foodie Ben pulled off a cracking Middle Eastern night which saw him fly up the leader board. Vegetarian French tutor Saleha confuses the group again by stating that she wants her life celebrated with oysters and champagne, while singleton business consultant Linda has realised she might not come first after the disaster with her pudding, so hopes for a tidy second place. Meanwhile, super-confident salesman Simon just wants to let the group know how he actually feels about them all. Deep joy.

On the fourth day in Swindon and Marlborough, drama teacher Ben is putting on a Middle Eastern and Asian inspired menu in an effort to bag him £1,000. Expectations are high, Ben's interest in the preparation of the other meals having led his fellow contestants to suspect he might be a foodie. Meanwhile, brash salesman Simon raises a few eyebrows at the table when he refers to the group as 'vanilla', so Parisienne Saleha decides to get her own back on him after he refused to eat her main course last night. Retired colonel Debs also makes the time to put Simon back in his box. In terms of food, business consultant Linda is suitably impressed by all three courses, but will the other guests agree that Ben's meal is a contender for top spot?

On day three in Swindon and Marlborough, Parisienne Saleha is hoping to take top spot in the competition by serving up a vegetarian meal... with a side of steak tartare. Brash salesman Simon has a few issues with eating raw steak, but his table manners are the main cause for comment at the table. Retired colonel Debs, and business consultant Linda both find his antics a little over the top, but it's host Saleha that puts her foot down when Simon starts playing with the food. Meanwhile, Ben continues to show himself to be the foodie of the group. Will Saleha's risky menu be a love it or loathe it affair? And will it be enough to take the £1000 prize?

Second to host in the West Country is business consultant Linda who's looking to impress her guests with a game menu of pheasant, venison and pastry swans.

Meanwhile, drama teacher Ben starts to show his true foodie colours while vegetarian, French tutor Saleha, surprises the others with a story of how she once cooked 'road kill' for her husband. Linda is confident that her menu and skill in the kitchen will help her win the prize, but will a dessert disaster derail her chances?

Will Simon's confidence and cooking be enough to bag him the £1000 prize?

On the last night in the West Midlands, dark horse Digby plans to surprise his guests - who all think he's been playing his cards very close to his chest - with an evening of fancy fine dining. But Digby's biggest challenge may well be maintaining harmony between his guests, with George still upset with Sunita for dissing his food, and with straight-talking Tutsi trying to pay Liz a compliment, which comes across as anything but complimentary.

In the West Midlands, social worker Tutsi serves up a mixture of Zimbabwean and English dishes and surprises her guests with a worm-eating competition. But one of Tutsi's guests is harbouring a grudge about some of her previous comments. Meanwhile, some close-to-the-bone nicknames are thrown around the table and there's a very mixed reaction to the surprise worm course.

In the West Midlands, 28-year-old male model George asks his guests to come dressed as his favourite word - fabulous - and treats them to a mixture of Greek, Caribbean and Italian food.

In the West Midlands, half-Egyptian property investor Liz treats her guests to a taste of the Middle East and some startling revelations. Social worker Tutsi gives the crispy kofta starter a blunt critique, and competitive Sunita also wades in but is impressed by Liz's revelation that she has a first class maths degree. Male model George keeps teasing Liz about her older husband, and straight-talking Tutsi even calls her a gold digger, while Digby wishes he could dig a hole to swallow him up when Liz brings out her high-energy entertainment.

On the first night in the West Midlands, cheerful 42-year-old teaching assistant Sunita goes all out to stimulate her guests' taste buds with an authentic Punjabi feast full of big portions and bold flavours.

On the last night in Gloucestershire, Sarah Louise pulls out all the stops with an evening of comforting family favourites, including 'roast chicken with a twist', alongside a chance for her guests to glimpse the work of her alter ego.

Beauty product salesman James serves up a Canadian menu for his four female guests in Gloucestershire, but he's got his work cut out because Debbie and Aisha are looking for revenge after he criticised Debbie's food and snubbed Aisha in mid-conversation last night. Sarah Louise is expecting big things from James, and he's on the charm offensive with Debbie. And when conversation turns to who James would snog, marry, avoid or flirt with, octogenarian otter conservationist Daphne is pleasantly surprised.

It's night three in Gloucestershire. Hairdresser Debbie's menu is inspired by a love of all things musical and a passion for festivals. But James's opinions of Debbie's food cause consternation at the table. And James also offends Aisha when he shuts her down in mid-conversation. Daphne enjoys the evening's musical surprise but Sarah Louise can't understand the connection with some of the food.

In Gloucestershire, 37-year-old youth worker Aisha plans an evening dedicated to her Caribbean family favourite foods, with a Jamaican menu and a slice of hip hop.

It's the final night of the competition in Leeds and the turn of Darren to try his hand in the kitchen. His plan is to put a fancy twist on what seems to be a basic menu. Denver still hasn't forgiven Jane to likening her to a goth on the first evening and the fact that Darren is serving goat's cheese is rubbing salt in her wounds. Billy is concerned about the amount of mustard Darren is using in his dishes and mum of five Dionne causes a commotion when she offers up a hug to Jane. Can Darren keep harmony amongst his guests long enough to bag himself the £1000 prize?

It's day four, and local legend Billy is putting on a tried and tested menu of dinner party favourites, with an appearance from a Frank Sinatra impersonator to top off the night

It's day three, and drama teacher and DJ Denver is putting on a Spanish menu. With a prosecco van and stilt walkers on arrival, Denver is going all out for an Ibiza experience.

It's the second night and finance director Jane's turn to host. Her plan to grab the grand is to treat her guests to a fine dining menu of homemade ravioli, pork and panna cotta.

The week's competition kicks with the first host, 38-year-old choir teacher Dionne, who is hoping to wow with a menu combining European and Caribbean influences

It's the final night of the competition from in and around Newcastle, and it's the turn of Mo to host. After two nights with no voice, Mo is back on form with a menu of traditional South African dishes. There's all to play for as the other guests all believe they are in with a chance, except of course for veggie Jude who's realised that her disastrous menu has put paid to any chances of grabbing the grand.

It's day four in Newcastle and quick-witted videographer Jude is hoping to win over her carnivorous guests with a decidedly experimental vegetarian menu. However, there's a distinct lack of vegetables, and foodie recruitment consultant Adam certainly isn't impressed by Jude's strange food combinations. And it's an uphill battle to win over nursing student Harriet who is forced to face her worst nightmare - bananas. Meanwhile even though carer Mo has completely lost her voice, she still manages to keep her fellow guests amused. And as laughs fly around the table, ballroom dancing teacher Stuart's confession about his underwear model past leads to a hilarious bottom off between himself and Adam!

It's day three in Newcastle and horse-obsessed, nursing student Harriet is throwing a dinner party entirely themed around her equestrian hobby. As an inexperienced cook, her simple menu doesn't sound appealing to recruitment consultant foodie, Adam. But she's got plenty of surprises in store for her guests. Videographer Jude is overjoyed to be welcomed to Harriet's home by a miniature pony, and the surprises continue with a space hopper show jumping competition.

It's the second night of the competition from in and around Newcastle, and the turn of Geordie geezer Adam to host. After Stuart's Pride Party set the bar last night, Adam's got it all to do to grab the grand and he's opting for an evening of fine dining and up market gastro pub food to try and wow his guests. But he has a tough crowd to please, with picky eater Harriet and experimental veggie Jude ready to pounce if he gets it wrong.

This week's competition is in and around Newcastle, where the first to host is 32-year-old ballroom dance instructor Stuart. Stuart is hoping to dazzle his guests with his rainbow themed night. As a previous winner of Mr Gay World, he plans to bring a Pride Party to his house with a colourful but healthy menu. But will it be enough for him to grab the £1000 at the end of the week? The guests he's hoping to impress are 32-year-old year recruitment manager Adam, 25-year-old student nurse Harriet, 55-year-old carer Mo, and 48-year-old videographer, Jude. With his rainbow inspired healthy dishes and a visit from one of the most famous drag queens in the north east, what more can he do to win his guests over?

It's the final day of the competition in Birmingham, and tonight's host is 32-year-old aquarium designer Akil, who hopes to create a splash with his fish-themed menu. With a homemade seafood tempura to start and a double whammy of sea bass and scallops for the main, Akil is going all out to impress. But will his seafood feast see him sail to victory and snag the grand? With three fancy fish themed courses and sparkling chat on the meny, the £1,000 is there for Akil to take.

It's day four from the competition in and around Birmingham, and hoping to get her hands on the grand is host 30-year-old youth worker Sonia. Can a selection of her restaurant favourites tickle her guests' taste buds or will it leave a nasty taste in their mouths? After three nights of vegan chat from Martha, Sonia makes a secret pact with her guests to ban any mention of the subject on her night. There's a packet palaver when the ladies get into a spat over the use of fresh ingredients and Sonia is forced to come clean over her cooking shortcuts. Later, Martha is accused of being a fun sponge, and as the evening draws to a close, Martha finds Sonia's cremated cake hard to swallow, and the guests are left open mouthed over some questionable table manners.
