Come Dine With Me’s most outrageous moments – from blistering rows to guests booted out and vomit-worthy sausage trifle

Relive the drama

Prepare for a trip down memory lane as we look back at some of the most hilarious, dramatic, and outrageous moments from the hit TV show Come Dine With Me. Channel 4's competitive reality cooking show, complete with commentary from Dave Lamb, has delivered its fair share of tense moments both in and out of the kitchen. From food fights to major bust-ups, let's dive into the chaos that makes this show so addictive.

Dessert out the window

Contestant Lee's dinner party quickly turned sour when he lost his cool. It all started when Lee failed to serve his entire meal, followed by burning his creme brûlées and then burning his hand. The tipping point came when he furiously threw the desserts out of the window. Narrator Dave couldn't help but poke fun at the situation, saying, "As the crème brûlées cool off in the garden, the temperature in the kitchen is on full whack." The guests, anxiously waiting in the other room for their starters, only added fuel to Lee's anger. Needless to say, the guests awarded him the lowest score in the show's history.

Waste not want not

An unforgettable and stomach-churning scene played out on Come Dine With Me when contestant couple Sophie and Lucas shocked viewers. As they were being hosted by Ruth and Martin, Sophie refused to eat the main course. Ruth innocently asked, "Are you not going to try the lamb Sophie?" In response, Sophie took a bite and then transferred the already chewed meat into Lucas' mouth. Ruth, clearly mortified, exclaimed, "You didn't share the lamb just then, did you?" Sophie nonchalantly explained that it was a regular thing they do. Lucas chimed in, revealing that sometimes Sophie chews his food for him before feeding it to him. Unsurprisingly, Ruth and Martin were appalled and made it clear they would not be participating in such behavior.

'Get out of my house!'

When politics and voting were brought up at one dinner party, things quickly spiraled out of control. Contestants Claire and Robinson clashed over their differing opinions, with Claire vehemently stating that those who don't vote should have no say. As the evening progressed, tensions escalated, and Claire went on to insult the host Richard's decor and even called his family caravan outside "minging." Fed up with Claire's behavior, the rest of the guests decided to retreat to the caravan, leaving her out in the cold. To everyone's surprise, Claire ended up winning the £1,000 prize that week.

Down for the count

Come Dine With Me is known for finding humor in the misfortune of others, and contestant Hali became the butt of a running joke on the show. As she made her way to the dinner party, Hali unexpectedly face planted the pavement. Host Dave couldn't resist making light of the situation as the guests erupted in laughter. It seems that even in moments of embarrassment, there's always room for a good laugh on Come Dine With Me.
