First to host is glamorous insurance worker Zoe Prince, who's cooking an Italian-themed menu, despite not being Italian and never having been to Italy. But that might not be too much of a problem as the other guests don't seem to know their saltimbocca from their vermicelli. With a tip-top menu prepared, Zoe soon learns she's got a lot more on her plate to deal with than just the food, as her guests are a right bunch. The boys seem more interested in finding out whether Zoe's a model or pole-dancer, rather than a good cook. And things go from flirty to frosty when chip shop manager Martyn Bilby attempts to hold the hand of fellow guest Latvian ice queen Signe Jase. Fusspot Tracey Hewer, who works in trading standards, is on edge as soon as she hears Tito the cat meowing upstairs. And don't even get her started on her high food-presentation standards. Will Zoe be able to get her guests to put their differences aside and stop looking at her grubby cutlery for long enough to give her a credible score?
