Come Dine Champion of Champions

Dave Lamb invites past winners to `his' stately home to compete against each other in the ultimate battle. First up, erotic novelist Jude, engineer Anil and sales manager Ronnie battle it out.

Barrister Simon takes on company director Lara and country vet James. Somebody makes a perfect sticky toffee pudding that impresses chef Glynn Purnell, but is it enough for the final?

Polly takes on Randeep and Marc. On the menu: a unique interpretation of a glamorous pâté, kebabs that look like giant sausages and an impressive Greek lamb dish.

Tony from the Costa del Sol overloads on the black pepper, Helen from Wales tries to impress with her singing and Richard from Bedford gets in a lather over some laver bread.

It's finals day and one of the four finalists will walk away a champion. Butternut squash wedges take on ajo blanco in the starter duel, and venison takes on lamb in the main course battle.

Past winners retired solicitor Cathie from London, deputy hotel manager Brendan from Brighton, and housewife Sarah from Bath battle it out for a place in Friday's final.
