An opportunity for readers based in Kensington & Chelsea to take part in the cult television series “Come Dine With Me”
Many of you will have watched an episode of Channel 4’s Come Dine With Me or at least glimpsed five minutes of this car crash television series.
Two stories to keep beside you
How (not) to dine like Will and Kate
Vogue journalist Virginia van Zanten gets in a fluster over “how to dine like Will and Kate”
Dine like a Lord
Peers’ Dining Room at the House of Lords to open to the public for the first time during the run-up to the General Election
For those who do not know it, the show takes four or five strangers and over four or five nights, they take it in turn to host what the producers describe as “the perfect dinner party.” The guests rate one another and the one who gets the highest score wins £1,000 in cash.
Though I know several people who have participated, in the main the people who appear are plainly chosen because they are somewhat odd. Freaks, after all, make better television. Channel 4 have done extremely well with the show as a result and as their sarcastic narrator, Dave Lamb, makes a point of utterly trashing the cookery skills and personalities of those competing, viewers generally find themselves laughing at the contestants rather than with them.
Now, the producers are looking for individuals living in Kensington and Chelsea to participate. Do you dare? We’ll all be watching.

John Morton was a complete knob. Rude. Unfunny. Arrogant. A man totally up his own arse. I would have wiped the floor with him if he had behaved like that in my company.
