- Christopher prepares a pre-bought starter, but claims it was home made when asked about it during the meal.
Contestants' Ratings
- Julia Bradbury (6.1 Celebrity Special)
- Philip Olivier: "Julia was a dynamite host. Her food was exquisite, and because she had the Greek influence, and I've got Greek family, I'm gonna have to give her a two. Eight! See what I did there?"
- Edwina Curry: "I have to say, it was the dinner party from hell. You get a lot of that kind of behaviour on Saturday nights in town centres, and it doesn't half turn off a lot of people. I thought we were scoring the food! Because I found that one of the most difficult evenings I think I've ever spent, erm, I'm afraid it's two."
- Christopher Biggins: "I just love akvavit. Akvavit is my favourite drink of the world, but I think I had five shots tonight. And consequently, I don't quite know what I'm talking about. She did the most brilliant evening and she well deserves the nine that I'm gonna give her."
- Philip Olivier (6.1 Celebrity Special)
- Julia Bradbury: "Food was great, it was well executed, erm, it was nicely presented. It was an adventurous menu as well. I think Phil 'Olive', my mate, deserves a seven."
- Edwina Curry: "That was a pretty good evening, erm, both for effort and for the results. I'm going to Phil an eight. And if he'd taken his shirt off it would have been in double digits."
- Christopher Biggins: "He did really well and I'm gonna give him, err, an eight."
- Edwina Curry (6.1 Celebrity Special)
- Julia Bradbury: "I'm not sure that the main course was exactly what Edwina would have liked to have delivered, but the soufflé was exceptional. So it's a seven."
- Philip Olivier: "Seven. I'm gonna give Edwina a seven. I had such a great night and... but it's only the fact I had to bite my tongue so much."
- Christopher Biggins: "A great evening, and she was a great hostess, marvelous food. An eight."
- Christopher Biggins (6.1 Celebrity Special)
- Julia Bradbury: "I'm gonna give Biggins a big fat nine. He said it himself, it isn't just about the food, it's also about the ambience and he pulled it off."
- Philip Olivier: "The reasons for this is not just about the food, not just about the entertainment, but about y... making you feel welcome, and not judging a book by its cover, or his accent. And this goes to Christopher Biggins, the best person I've ever met. Ten."
- Edwina Curry: "Well done Chris, not quite as good as Phil's so I'm going to give you seven."
