Come Dine with Me is a British reality series that has aired on Channel 4 since 10 January 2005 and is narrated by Dave Lamb.

The original format features five amateur chefs who live in the same town or area, who each host a three-course dinner party for the other contestants at their own home over successive episodes.

[2] In an 'ask me anything' session on Reddit in 2022,[3] Kev claimed that this was the result of a "spur of the moment" decision intended to make the producer laugh.
