The episode kicks off with host Waddleton, whose 1970’s style menu includes fairy-tale concoctions like the mysteriously named ‘Potash’ for starters, and the confusing rosticciata for mains.

If anyone wonders why her dress matches her table setting, they don’t say, and their equally diplomatic response to the fact that her dress was made and worn before most of her guests were born, shows an admirable respect for age.

Night two’s host is young Macadam, and if one goes down to the woods, one will probably find her hunting and skinning her own venison, because that’s exactly what she serves.

Guests quickly learn that this girl is not to be messed with when they’re given a tour of her trophy room. Macadam’s cheesecake is met with mixed reviews, and her hip-hop entertainment hits one unsuspecting guest right between the eyes.

Tshabala, has little chance facing a three-woman onslaught, and his night of hosting goes from bad to worse, despite his best efforts. The cutely named ‘cigars’ for starters cause predictable confusion, and although everyone recognises the chicken breast mains when they finally do arrive, no one takes joy in watching Tshabala squirm in his open-plan kitchen.

The final night is hosted by Bryson, who hopes her chocolate pavlova will work wonders. She’s surprised when Tshabala arrives wearing head to toe Indian regalia, and fellow guest Waddleton digs herself an even deeper hole when she quietly muses if ‘namaste’ is a German word.

All in all, a good night for host Bryson, but with the kind of week that’s passed, all four contestants might be ready for a trip to the shrink.

The episode will take place Monday, 21 October at 20:00 on BBC Entertainment.
