Christopher Biggins enters a week of culinary showdowns with ex-MP Edwina Currie, TV presenter Julia Bradbury and Hollyoaks heart-throb Phillip Olivier. Julia throws a rollercoaster of an evening with enough food, wine and dancing to make Biggins sick, Edwina furious and Phillip extremely hungover; and that’s just the first night. The rest of the week involves a cheeky demand for one host to go topless and some blatant cheating in the kitchen. All the guests score their host out of 10, and after the final dinner, the winner is revealed and picks up £1,000 for the charity of their choice.

“The place just came to a halt. Everyone was shouting and cheering. It was quite, quite mad,” he explained. “I was with Joan Collins and even when we were at the table, people were throwing roses. My God, it was amazing. Read more & comment »
