Come Dine with Me

South East Essex: All in One (32x6)

Air date: Sep 22, 2014

First to host is confident foodie James Manders, who likes to emulate the fine dining of the many Michelin starred restaurants he visits. He's also the first to experience the effects of argumentative lady of leisure Amanda Gregory, who manages to insult pretty much everyone at his dinner party, especially bubbly housekeeper Julie Tworogal. But when it's Amanda's turn to host she plays nice, and happy-go-lucky park manager Ken Greenway is particularly taken in by her charms. On Julie's night Amanda reverts back to her old ways with a vengeance, and the group confront her on her behaviour. It's up to Mr Nice Guy Ken to try and end the week on a better note which he attempts to do by revealing his secret love of bats to his guests.
