Couples Come Dine with Me

Three Cornish couples – Zaya and Damian, Kelly and Jon, and Emma and Gavin – go head‑to‑head in a competition to throw the perfect dinner party for a £1,000 cash prize. The showdown takes place in Cornwall, and the couple that creates the most successful evening walks away with the money.

Cornwall is a television programme presented as an episode that follows a light‑hearted competition set in the South West of England. The show focuses on everyday people rather than celebrities, giving viewers a glimpse of local life. Each episode runs for about an hour, allowing enough time for the couples to plan, cook and serve. In this episode, three Cornish couples go head‑to‑head to create the ideal dinner party. The pairs – Zaya with Damian, Kelly paired with Jon, and Emma alongside Gavin – each plan and execute a meal, trying to overall outshine the others. The challenge tests their hospitality, cooking skills and they're also judged on how well they can entertain guests under pressure. All of the action unfolds against the backdrop of Cornwall’s coastal charm, with each team drawing on their own tastes and traditions to impress the local judges. The competition is structured as a direct showdown, with each couple presenting their spread and hoping to win favour. At stake is a cash prize of £1,000, which the winning duo will take home if their dinner party is judged the most successful. The prize adds a tangible incentive to the very friendly rivalry, making the evening both truly fun and competitive.
