Couples Come Dine with Me

The competition heads to Brighton, where shipping broker Dan and his partner Pippa face off against the glamorous duo Shan and Lauren, alongside South Africans Jared and Ian. The six participants will battle for a cash prize of £1,000 in this round.

The programme follows a travelling competition that lands in Brighton, turning the coastal city into the backdrop for a high‑stakes challenge. It’s a straightforward format: a group of contestants face off, with the winner taking home a cash reward. The setting and the prize are the only constants as the show moves from place to place. In this Brighton episode the line‑up features a mix of personalities. Dan, who works as a shipping broker, teams up with his partner Pippa, while the stylish duo Shan and Lauren bring a touch of glamour to the mix. Adding an international flavour are the South Africans, Jared and Ian, who join the fray alongside the other competitors. All six participants are pitted against one another in a series of tasks designed to test their skills, teamwork and determination. The structure is simple – each round narrows the field until a single pair or individual emerges victorious. Throughout the episode the focus stays on the competition itself, with no external storylines or side plots to distract from the core contest. The ultimate goal for Dan, Pippa, Shan, Lauren, Jared and Ian is to claim the £1,000 cash prize that sits at stake. The Brighton location provides the scenery, but the real driver is the race for that modest yet motivating sum, which will be awarded to the contestant who outperforms the rest.
