A game show special featuring much loved faces from the shiny world of tricky questions and glittering prizes. Strike It Lucky host and tabloid favourite Michael Barrymore takes on Anthea Redfern from The Generation Game, Wheel of Fortune babe Jenny Powell, and the man who was once synonymous with the word mullet, Funhouse frontman Pat Sharp. Highlights of the four nights of dining include Barrymore trying to lick dip off Anthea's foot, stealing food off other people's plates, and smashing the crockery - leaving Anthea no choice but to lock him in the garden. Meanwhile, Jenny Powell fears that Pat has become much too interested in her chest, and then her meal ends in a food fight with Jenny covered in cream!
In this special edition all the contestants - or should that be housemates? - are former Big Brother winners. Stepping up to the plate are series 2 winner - quick-witted, cheeky Irish chappy Brian Dowling; Big Brother 5 champion - passionate, Portuguese Nadia Almada; 2007 winner - Essex wide-boy Brian Belo; and 2009's gorgeous victor - glamour model Sophie Reade. The week starts with Brian Dowling, who quickly regrets presenting a rather easy menu. Nadia makes it clear from the outset that she is going to be quick with the criticisms and is less than impressed with some of Sophie's dopey comments (she asks if potatoes grow on trees) or Brian's uncouth behaviour. On night two Nadia is convinced that she's going to win with her authentic Portuguese menu. It's not long before conversation turns to this week's hot topic - breasts - and an eye-watering anecdote from Nadia leaves everyone shocked. Brian Belo plays host on night three and there are farcical scenes as the novice chef attempts to prep his ambitious menu, and yet more flirting between Brian Belo and Sophie, culminating in a cheeky kiss. On the final night 'stranger to vegetables' Sophie hosts, with a minimal menu and an even more minimal outfit. At the table, Sophie shows her latest bikini photos to the group, much to Brian Belo's delight. The dinner ends on a sour note, however, when Nadia vents her spleen at a shell-shocked Brian Belo. But which of the popular Big Brother winners will be crowned the Champion of Champions and win the £1,000 charity prize?

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the nation's favourite soap, Come Dine with Me heads to Coronation Street. Four of Weatherfield's famous stars battle it out to bag a £1000 cash prize for charity. Legendary leopard-print landlady Bet Lynch (Julie Goodyear) takes on hapless shopkeeper Reg Holdsworth (Ken Morley), street loudmouth Kelly Crabtree (Tupele Dorgu), and bad-boy bookie Des Barnes (Philip Middlemiss), in a competition featuring some bawdy humour, a foot spar of tiny biting fish, 'Corrie de Bangkok', boys in drag, and a male slave in an animal-print thong.
First up to host is PR glamour puss Lucy Richmond who hopes to make a splash with her nautical-themed evening. Day two is the turn of night club promoter Jay Paul, who despite his limited cooking experience reckons he can wow his guests with party entertainment.

Work-shy millionaire's son Matthew Hetherington stuns his guests by throwing their coats at his hired help to put away.

Firing up their hobs this time are driving instructor and practical joker Billy McArthur, glamorous granny Michaela McQuade, outspoken American mum Sarah Lester, and house-proud photocopier service manager Kevin Pawlowski. On the menu is some very rare duck, an impressive display of the Klingon language, and a `posh' approach to dining, featuring tuxedos, cocktail dresses and... chicken kievs.
This brand new cook-off in Leicester includes compulsory meditation, eating with hands, body painting, a controversial hair in a guest's pudding... and quite a lot of bickering. Battling it out for the prize are aromatherapist Erica Swinthenbank, yoga teacher Anne Marie Newland, graphic designer Jamie Traynor and security officer Pretesh Singadia.
Hairdresser Phil Gifford takes on drama student Naomi Chamroo, posh chatterbox Maddy Savitt, and serious conversationalist Randeep Sami, in a week featuring bhangra dancing, boob testing, a spot of baldism, `the devil's spawn', and even a bit of civilised conversation.
