00:02On today's show...
00:03They can all do well.
00:05Chicken carnage.
00:07Oh, I can't lie. This is so disgusting.
00:11Winner-winner chicken dinner for me.
00:14Wicked wasps.
00:18I don't like being chased by wasps. Not iconic.
00:21Ah, it was all going so well.
00:24And a bizarre baby.
00:25Oh, my God.
00:27What's going on with the baby?
00:28He comes everywhere with us.
00:29What score do you think we should give Ella an eight, son?
00:32As five married-at-first-sight misfits grapple for a charity grand.
00:37What's a dinner party without a bit of chaos?
00:44It's day three of our come-dine-with-me married-at-first-sight hook-up in Bristol.
00:49Now, long before saying I do to a total stranger on a telly show was a thing,
00:53couples would tie their hands together to symbolise their commitment.
00:57Crazy folks, crazy times.
01:00And already tying herself in knots is today's host, self-proclaimed icon and maths legend,
01:06Ella Morgan.
01:07I'm more nervous to do this than I was when I'm a stranger at this point.
01:10Blimey.
01:11Yeah!
01:12Well, there's tough competition as first-night host Emma Barnes stepped up with a salsa and
01:17spouse-themed party.
01:19Oh, my God!
01:20There you is!
01:21And a better birthday luck to bag some extra points.
01:24Yay!
01:25Did you wish that you win the three?
01:27A girl never tells.
01:30Cheers!
01:31Last night saw clown-cloaked Kieran Chapman celebrate his love of the big top.
01:36Cheers, pal.
01:37Burgers.
01:39Unfortunately, his blended fast-food pate was more fit for the circus than anywhere else.
01:44There you go, Emma.
01:46There's yours.
01:47Lovely!
01:47It was better than what I thought it was going to be because it took them a little while
01:51to guess that it was a burger.
01:53It's got a mustardy taste.
01:55Mustard or pickle-lily.
01:56Yeah, there's a little bit.
01:57I think the starter, at least burgers taste good.
02:01So the pate, although it wasn't pate and it wasn't homemade, it did taste alright.
02:04Well, it's given ex-Maph's wife, Christina Goodsell, something to aim for.
02:09If I don't get more points than Kieran, then I will be shocked.
02:13I'm not going to lie.
02:13And just to Paul Lieber, a boost in confidence.
02:16I feel so good about my night now.
02:20Kieran's night has given me confidence.
02:22I mean, all I have to do is actually cook something by myself
02:25and I think I'll get more points than Kieran since he ordered takeaway.
02:28Well, you certainly haven't won it.
02:30No events, sorry.
02:31How do you know I haven't won?
02:33The menu.
02:33Kieran's food was diabolical and it's still repeating on me now.
02:37You've got to be in it to win it.
02:39Yeah.
02:39Yeah, and I'm still in it, right?
02:42I have no confidence at all about winning this competition.
02:46As much as it would have been nice to win,
02:49you can't be good at everything, can you?
02:51Or indeed anything when it comes to your cooking.
02:54Kieran scored a sorry 17, meaning the missus with the birthday wishes,
02:58Emma, is topped with 31.
03:00Now, Ella, what's the plan?
03:02So I do like the finer things in life, especially when it comes to food.
03:06And so I wanted to give the guests a little bit of a taste of kind of what I would
03:10like to order if I was to go out,
03:12or what I would want, you know, a man to cook for me.
03:15If I had one, I don't.
03:16I feel like Ella's going to have a really controlled, chaotic dinner party.
03:22I feel like she's going to know what she's doing and she's going to know what needs to be done,
03:27but what's a dinner party without a bit of chaos?
03:30I think with Ella's food, it's definitely going to be fancy.
03:33I think she probably thinks that's what people like.
03:35But after seeing how she ate at Emma's dinner, I expect cheese on everything.
03:40Snowing cheese.
03:41I feel like Ella's going to pull out some stops.
03:43So I've sought some expert advice, which just before anyone comes to me is not cheating.
03:49I bet it was Paul C. Brunson.
03:50I just have to reenact the magic for the first time tonight in front of everyone.
03:57So wish me luck.
03:58Fingers and toes.
04:01Ella's first dish is her starter.
04:03Beetroot and sweet potatoes stack with whipped feta.
04:06Fancy enough for...
04:08I hate beetroot.
04:10Oh, no.
04:11I don't like beetroot.
04:14Oh, no!
04:16Me mum loves beetroot, but me mum's not here.
04:19I am me mum's son.
04:21And I'm not a fan of beetroot.
04:23Was that a riddle?
04:24Tick tick for me.
04:26Love beetroot.
04:27Love roasted beetroot.
04:28Love sweet potatoes.
04:29Great.
04:30Back in the kitchen, Ella's kicking off with a seedy basil pesto.
04:37Kieran doesn't like cheese, but I'm not going to tell him that it's actually being put into the dish,
04:41because I think what he doesn't see won't hurt him.
04:44Great plan.
04:45Ha!
04:45Great!
04:52What's the verdict?
04:54Mmm.
04:55I'm really proud of myself.
04:57Wow.
04:57So you should be, but it's early days.
04:59Make a start on those sweet potatoes.
05:02I'm not the strongest, as you can see, but I don't want to lose a finger.
05:06Wouldn't be ideal.
05:08It's not blood.
05:09It's beetroot.
05:11Thank heavens for that.
05:12Ella drizzles her veg, seasons, and they're covered for later.
05:17It doesn't have to be perfect.
05:19It doesn't have to be perfect.
05:20Like me.
05:21Easy now.
05:22Lastly, herbs and lemon zest join the feta.
05:28Well?
05:29Oh, that's so good.
05:31I'm so impressed.
05:32Confidence rising by the minute here.
05:35I will win.
05:35Oh, will you now?
05:38Otherwise, I'll sue.
05:39Let's not be hasty.
05:41Next course for Ella to master is her main...
05:44..apple cider roasted chicken with freshly made tagliatelle
05:48and a wild mushroom sauce, and a noodle version for gluten-free Paul.
05:53That's ambitious.
05:54This is an ambitious menu for Ella.
05:58But if that gets pulled together, that's sick.
06:02That sounds lovely.
06:03That really does.
06:04Freshly made as well, so she's making the pasta herself evidently.
06:07I love tagliatelle.
06:09I love wild mushroom and I love chicken.
06:13Winner-winner chicken dinner for me.
06:15I hate mushrooms.
06:17I think they're my number one enemy in the world and I like everything.
06:19Except beetroot.
06:21I'm going to grab my Duncan and Alexandra chickens.
06:25They're my two friends.
06:26And then shove a chicken up their bum.
06:28Really?
06:29No, they are the chicken.
06:30I'm going to shove a lemon up both their bums.
06:32Sounds a bit better.
06:34Veg is sliced, diced and chucked into a dish to make a stock later.
06:39Oh, I can't. This is so disgusting.
06:42OK, just do it, Ella.
06:44This is the worst.
06:45Duncan and Alexandra get a buttery massage and a Showtime send-off.
06:50Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da.
06:54Performance over.
06:55Now for the finale.
06:56They're drenched in cider and ready to roast.
07:01I've decided to make my life really hard by making my own tagliatelle.
07:05Impressive, though.
07:07Ah!
07:08It was all going so well!
07:10Guys, don't have long now as if you're going to do this.
07:13Noted.
07:14She sets off the mixer.
07:16And now we wait.
07:17What are you going to do now?
07:19Yeah, that old classic.
07:23Oh, and up the elevator.
07:25For her sauce, Duncan and Alexandra's juices are needed.
07:29Get all the juices out.
07:31Oh!
07:32We lost a leg.
07:33They're past caring.
07:35The juices are poured into a mushroom and vegetable broth.
07:38Do you know what?
07:39I might just have all this colander for me.
07:41See?
07:42Love an onion.
07:44And it's tagliatelle time.
07:46Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go.
07:48OK, OK, OK, OK.
07:51I've never done three-course meal, never made pasta, never made spaghetti,
07:55so I'm really, really proud of myself, and it does remind me of my old hair extensions.
07:59That would be angel hair pasta, surely.
08:02The final dish of the day is dessert.
08:04Brandy snap biscuits.
08:09Brandy snap biscuits sound to me like a ginger nut.
08:14When I think of biscuits, I think of having it with a cup of tea,
08:17dunking some, I don't know, digestives, some custard creams.
08:21Well, Tuff, you're getting brandy snaps.
08:23They are quite easy to make, but they are delicious.
08:27With a little salted caramel, like ice cream or something,
08:30a little brandy snap on top, that's delightful.
08:33Tell us why you chose it, Ella.
08:35I personally think it's quite an elegant Ella.
08:38Get it?
08:39Dessert.
08:40Oh, I should have called it that.
08:41Oh, it's too late now.
08:42She melts a blob of butter with a spoonful of brown sugar and syrup.
08:48Once gooey, she adds flour and ginger.
08:51This is great consistency.
08:53Get a load of this.
08:54I think.
08:54How good is that?
08:55It's good.
08:56The mix is dolloped into small, well, dollops on a tray.
09:00And once baked...
09:02Ah!
09:02Ah!
09:04Oh!
09:05God!
09:07I nearly savaged my hand off.
09:09Always use an oven mitt, folks.
09:12Inside Ella's kitchen right now is going to be chaos.
09:15You're not wrong, Emma.
09:16So I'm just going to let it cool down slightly,
09:18because I just nearly had third-degree burns.
09:21You've really got to be very careful,
09:23because I don't want to break them.
09:28I...
09:30I...
09:31Get it? I...
09:32I'm so impressed.
09:34I hope your guests are just as impressed later.
09:38Chocolate ganache is whipped up with the aid of some elbow grease,
09:41before being squeezed into her biscuity pipes.
09:46So the theme for my night is actually a night of a thousand icons.
09:51So everyone has to dress up as their favourite icon.
09:54And I might have a little surprise for them as to who I'm going to dress up.
09:57Take a wild guess.
09:58Who do you think I'm dressing up as?
10:00Oh, Madonna, Kylie, so many icons.
10:02I'm dressing up as me.
10:04Of course you are.
10:06What a surprise.
10:07I feel like Ella's going to come as herself.
10:10I can just hear her go,
10:12no, because I actually am an icon.
10:14She calls herself an icon all the time.
10:17So if Ella's not dressed as Ella, I'd be very surprised.
10:20On the money.
10:22I can't believe it's my night.
10:25We can have fun.
10:27Kieran's up for a hangover and he's brought a little friend.
10:31The icon now.
10:32Oh, my God.
10:34You look sensational.
10:37Stunning location to a stunning night.
10:39Oh, yay.
10:40And A for effort.
10:43I might go back and give you an extra point.
10:46All the way from Paisley Park, it's four.
10:49Hello.
10:49Oh, my God.
10:51Come here.
10:51You look amazing.
10:52Oh, I love you.
10:54You look so good.
10:54I fancy for more.
10:56Wrong show.
10:57Wow.
10:58Look at you.
10:59No way.
10:59You look incredible.
11:00Well, you didn't want kids.
11:03I've got a fake one.
11:04Yeah.
11:05Oh, you look amazing.
11:06This is obviously Prince.
11:07Of course.
11:08And next icon, Emma.
11:10Black hair, fake tan face.
11:12Yeah.
11:13Oh, my God.
11:15I'm a traitor.
11:16I'm a traitor.
11:17You look amazing.
11:19Come on in, Claudia.
11:21Hello.
11:22Yeah.
11:23Whoa.
11:24But before anyone gets settled.
11:26There's a wasp.
11:26I can't read.
11:27I can't read.
11:27Get it away.
11:28Get it away from me.
11:31No.
11:32I can't.
11:33Where is it?
11:34Where is it?
11:34Where is it?
11:35What's that?
11:36Oh.
11:38No.
11:39No.
11:39That's not funny.
11:40No.
11:40That's not funny.
11:42I've never liked wasps.
11:44And I don't like being chased by wasps.
11:46Not iconic.
11:47Finally, Christina arrives as...
11:49Well, I've got no idea.
11:50Hey!
11:52Get in here.
11:54Oh, my God.
11:55Whoa!
11:59Hello.
12:01My arse empowers.
12:03I'm a DJ.
12:04I'm my favourite DJ.
12:06Who's my favourite DJ?
12:07DJ Mosey.
12:08Hey!
12:08Now, love a bit of Mosey.
12:10I know it's the icon of...
12:12You're me, aren't you?
12:13That's brave.
12:15Are you joking?
12:16Oh, my God.
12:17I know you're being serious.
12:18I'm like, how come it's me?
12:19I love it.
12:20Hey, cos I am an icon.
12:22It's sensational.
12:22Ella being Ella as an icon, I'm not surprised.
12:26I mean, she is a big icon, but no-one else sees her as a bigger icon than herself.
12:31Cheers!
12:32Cheers!
12:34Coming up...
12:35Check out my sacks.
12:36A delayed dinner.
12:37We were finished at this time yesterday, so it has been a long way.
12:41I am absolutely starving.
12:43I think I'm going to have to go on cholesterol tablets for the rest of my life.
12:47And doggy delights.
12:49They do look like dog poo.
12:50I don't really care.
12:52I'm not a rude kind of girl, but it looked a bit sus.
13:02It's the third night of our Married at First Sight special, where Ella is hoping her night of a thousand
13:08icons will be enough to woo her guests into a win.
13:12It's going to be a good night, but I do need to go and prepare the food, so...
13:16Go on! Get in there! I'm starving!
13:18Give her a chance!
13:21I hope they recognise how much effort has really gone into this.
13:24I think it's the best starter so far, but I'm going to say it because I made it and I've
13:27been making it since nine o'clock this morning.
13:29Sounding a bit stressed, Ella.
13:30I would say I found it relatively stressful.
13:33I think I'm going to have to go on cholesterol tablets for the rest of my life.
13:36That's tomorrow's problem. You ready?
13:38Check out my stacks.
13:39If you guess you need to impress, the starter's beetroot and sweet potato stack with whipped feta.
13:46Beetroot with whipped feta, sweet potato with homemade pesto and a bit of basil.
13:53Everything I will say has been grown here and I've made it all from scratch.
13:57Homegrown and homemade. So proud!
14:00I'm not a beetroot kind of girl, but can I just say that sweet potato with the feta cheese, really
14:08lovely.
14:08Did you like the homemade pesto without nuts because that has two seeds?
14:12Lovely. So nice, really really tasty.
14:13I made that all from scratch.
14:15Homemade pesto, didn't she tell us it was homemade pesto?
14:18Homemade whipped feta, didn't she tell us it was homemade whipped feta?
14:22I've made this all of myself. You best like it.
14:25I'm a bit scared into liking it, but I do actually like it. It tastes good.
14:29I'm not going to lie, this is not bad.
14:32Oh, my God! Thank you!
14:35To my surprise, it tasted great.
14:37I actually finished my plate. It was delicious.
14:40So why did everyone come as their icons?
14:43So I came as the infamous, iconic Ella Morgan.
14:47Just because obviously for like 16 years I spent as a boy in a very unhappy body.
14:53And I think now I'm finally at the point where I do love myself inside and out.
14:57I don't think there's any shame in calling myself an icon
15:00because it's taken me that many years to love myself and I own it.
15:03So, yeah.
15:04Yay!
15:04Thank you!
15:06This girl deserves everything that comes her way.
15:09She really is an icon.
15:11I was so touched by Ella's story.
15:13She's really stayed true to herself and it's really shown she's shining.
15:18Oh, what a nice moment.
15:20And what made you come as Tracy Beaker?
15:22Oh, you've ruined it.
15:24I am not Tracy Beaker.
15:28I'm J Ken.
15:30Sorry, Austin Bowers.
15:32Yay!
15:33Anyone who thinks I look like Tracy Beaker can bog off.
15:35Yeah, you tell them, Tracy.
15:37I mean, Austin.
15:38I mean, Prince.
15:39Paul!
15:40Paul!
15:41Yeah, I think I'm doing quite well.
15:42I think everyone did enjoy it.
15:44Paul doesn't even like beetroot and he ate it all.
15:47On to the main.
15:48The homemade tagliatelle that was all made from scratch earlier today is boiled
15:53and Ella then warms her sauce that was also freshly made today by hand.
15:58Make sure you tell your guests.
16:01Oh, God, it's hot.
16:02How is that homemade pasta?
16:05OK, bear with me because I've burnt myself once and I don't really want to do it again.
16:09Take your time.
16:11OK, two sacks because I really don't want to burn myself.
16:16I'm just going to pick up with this.
16:17Any time today.
16:19It's an hour between courses at the moment.
16:21I am absolutely starving.
16:24What's she doing?
16:26She's eating.
16:30Do you like it?
16:32Mm.
16:32Blink twice if you like it.
16:33Mm.
16:35Insightful as that is, you really should get it served.
16:37Yeah, great.
16:38Apple cider roasted chicken with tagliatelle and very crisp veg.
16:43Oh.
16:44Oh.
16:45It smells incredible.
16:47Come on then, Ella, tell them.
16:49So this is homemade tagliatelle.
16:52Homemade, you say?
16:53With apple cider roasted chicken and then some asparagus on the top.
16:59Asparagus?
17:00Even though it's tender stem, not asparagus, we love it.
17:07That is absolutely unreal.
17:09Babe?
17:10Oh.
17:11Wow.
17:12We're bad.
17:13We're real bad.
17:14I will say, Ella, we were finished this time yesterday, so it has been a long way.
17:20Oh, dear.
17:21It's quarter past nine.
17:23Oh, I'm a late eater.
17:25Ha-ha.
17:27So I've got Puerto Rican in my family.
17:30And obviously, typically, I don't know if anyone else has, like, got, you know, that heritage.
17:35You tend to eat really late.
17:37You've got an excuse for everything, Ella.
17:39I'm really sorry if any of you have heartburn.
17:41I am first aid trained, so I can't do CPR.
17:45Wait, for heartburn?
17:46Better renew that training.
17:48I don't know.
17:48I've lost the plot today.
17:50But I am sorry it's so late.
17:51But I'd like to think that maybe the amount of effort I've written is kind of worth it.
17:56Ooh.
17:56Put your hand up in the air and solemnly swear you have made this from scratch with no help.
18:02Haven't you been listening?
18:05Swear on my life, on my dog's life, and you know how much I love my dog.
18:08So the menu wasn't designed by me, it was designed by my best friend's husband.
18:12But you physically put your hands on this.
18:14But I physically made, swear on my life, 100% made it from scratch myself.
18:19You've smashed it out the park.
18:20A complete novice to your own pasta.
18:23Yes.
18:24You've done really, really, really well.
18:26Homemade pasta.
18:29This pasta was the best pasta I've ever tasted in my life.
18:33Beautifully done.
18:34Chicken.
18:36It looked incredible.
18:38It tasted amazing.
18:40She made it herself.
18:42Did she?
18:43Overall, great.
18:44What's going on with the baby?
18:45You say you didn't want any at all, and now you've rocked off with the baby.
18:48Me?
18:48He comes everywhere with us.
18:50Well, he wasn't here last night.
18:52Yeah, because I wasn't Alan last night.
18:53I was Kieran.
18:54But when I'm Alan, he comes everywhere with us.
18:56You look quite comfortable with him.
18:58You have all night.
18:59You don't want to let him go at the dinner table.
19:00My back is in agony, carrying around all day.
19:03You sound like a dad.
19:04You've got to be like one, two and a half.
19:07No thanks.
19:10I maybe haven't stuck to the timing plan that I originally wanted.
19:13I'm just going to give them their desserts, and then they can all do one.
19:17That's charming.
19:19They do look like dog poo, but at this point, I don't really care.
19:24You better hope your guests don't hide that.
19:27Ready to go.
19:28Brandy snaps.
19:30Here we go.
19:31One for you.
19:35This is brandy snaps with a chocolate ganache inside.
19:39Wait for it.
19:41I've made it all from scratch, the chocolate ganache and also the brandy snaps.
19:45They remind me of Freddy Krueger's face.
19:47Funny you say that.
19:48I was looking down thinking, has the baby had an accident?
19:52Yes.
19:53I promise it tastes better than it looks.
19:55So tuck in and have some cream if you want.
19:57At last.
20:01Ella, I love you so much, but I'm sorry.
20:03Yeah.
20:04It does resemble a dog's poo.
20:07Yeah, but it definitely doesn't taste like dog's poo.
20:10Christina, have you tasted it?
20:12Have you tasted it?
20:13I have never, ever implied that it resembles dog faeces.
20:17It does.
20:18But it does.
20:19But the texture and the taste for me did not work in my mouth, I'm afraid.
20:26I'm not a rude kind of girl, but it looked a bit sus.
20:31I think I took them out of the fridge a little bit too early.
20:34So they're slightly more flexible, shall I say, than I planned.
20:40It honestly looked like something that came out Kieran's baby's nappy, but I still thought it tasted great.
20:45It's the look for me, like, to dig into it.
20:48But it tastes like it's all right.
20:51Like, you know, you've never made this before.
20:53It's all right.
20:54And I'll never be making it again.
20:56The Grenache was too runny.
20:58She did it earlier and then it soaked through the brandy snap, so it was brandy mush.
21:04Ella, are you eating that?
21:05Oh, no.
21:06Can I have it?
21:06Yeah, of course.
21:08Honestly, this is probably one of my most favourite desserts I've ever had.
21:11I absolutely loved it and I even had to ask Ella for hers.
21:15I would have one now if she had another one.
21:17Cheers!
21:19I thought I'd done enough to win after the starters and the main.
21:24I think the dessert may have cost me a few points.
21:29Let's find out.
21:30Scores, please!
21:31Tonight, Ella gets a seven.
21:35Tonight, I'm scoring Ella an iconic seven.
21:39What score do you think we should give Ella an eight, son?
21:42Aye, I agree.
21:44We'll score her a nine.
21:45After that iconic performance, Ella gets a nine.
21:49Wellzers!
21:50Ella scores a very respectable 32 and rockets into first place.
21:55Cheers!
21:56Next time.
21:58Chattano.
21:59Oh, God, that is disgusting.
22:00High kicking heat.
22:02Might as well overload with a chilli.
22:04It's got a kick to it, isn't it, Paul?
22:06You're like he KO'd me with the spice.
22:08I'm in trouble.
22:09And boxing bedlam.
22:11It's better than Emma's cake.
22:13Yeah.
22:14Trying to eat a cake with boxing gloves on.
22:16That was genius.
22:18cardh skin's victorious!
22:18I'm gonna be here, I'm gonna be here.
