Top 30

The Come Dine with Me vault has been ransacked to countdown the top 30 best bits ever. During more than a thousand episodes, hundreds of people have attempted to host the ultimate dinner party and claim the £1000 prize. These vintage clips show the good, the bad and the downright ugly, with wannabe cooks and their menu mishaps ranging from pigs trotters for a main course to sausage trifle for dessert. Bad hosting includes the host who fell asleep, leaving her guests to do the cooking.
