00:00Hi!
00:01On today's show...
00:03That's the biggest one I've ever seen.
00:05Fashion faux pas.
00:06Oh, my gosh, I was about to wear that tonight, but I thought, no.
00:09Well, it would look better on me, anyway.
00:11David, he's centre of attention, craves it.
00:14If he keeps that up all week, he may have a clash with a couple of people.
00:18Culinary confusion.
00:20I'm normally vegan.
00:21All our joes dropped on the table at that point.
00:24How can you be a vegan if you're eating a cottage pie?
00:27Yay!
00:28And bonkers balloons.
00:30Come on, pig!
00:32It was a bit basic.
00:33Not my type of entertainment.
00:35As five fine foodies fight for the £1,000 fortune.
00:47This week, we're in and around South Wales,
00:50the birthplace of legendary comedian Tommy Cooper.
00:54And hoping to cash in on the prize money...
00:56Not like that.
00:57Like this.
00:58..is Farmer Claire.
01:00I just love being in the outdoors.
01:02No matter what the weather is,
01:03whether it's sunshine, hailstones, snowing.
01:06Good kill.
01:07I have been manifesting for my dinner party that I will win.
01:11It's OK.
01:13My old boss, she actually referred to me as the Disney princess.
01:17Quite, um...
01:17Is it overbearing?
01:19Like, over...
01:20Overjoy?
01:21Overkill?
01:22Overthinking it?
01:24Yeah.
01:24Woo-hoo!
01:28Time to put all that manifesting to the test.
01:31My night tonight is going to be nice and relaxed, getting to know everybody.
01:35I can't wait for everyone to sit down and enjoy the food that I love to cook.
01:39Claire's cracking on with the starter.
01:41Scotch egg with red onion chutney and a mustard mayo dip.
01:45I hope they're homemade and they're not shop-bought.
01:48I'll know if they're shop-bought because there's such a difference.
01:51Meet civil servant Sandra.
01:53I've been told that I look like a celebrity.
01:57Erm, Bette Midler, I've been told before.
02:00I've seen worse look-alikes.
02:01And I've also been told that I look like Barbara Streisand.
02:06I think it could be the nose.
02:07You need to get yourself an agent.
02:09I can't impersonate Bette Midler, but I can impersonate Donald Duck.
02:13I've been told that I'm not sure.
02:17Yeah, maybe forget the agent.
02:20Back in the kitchen, Claire is defending her starter choice.
02:25Scotch eggs, Scotch eggs in Wales.
02:28Yeah, what's wrong with Scotch eggs in Wales?
02:30These are Welsh Scotch eggs.
02:32And in your opinion, what is the main difference there?
02:36One goes right, but the other one goes hey.
02:39I stand corrected.
02:40The secret to a Scotch egg is having a nice runny yolk.
02:44So, fingers crossed, I can get that tonight.
02:47Claire feels her perfectly boiled eggs and has a listen.
02:50It's definitely runny.
02:52She wraps in pork mince and then coats in flour, egg and breadcrumbs.
02:58You know that feeling you have, like, after your Christmas dinner
03:01you just need to lie down on the sofa.
03:03That's why I want my guests to be like today.
03:05The Welsh Scotch eggs go into chill and will be cooked tonight.
03:09Next, the main cottage pie with buttery green beans and honey roasted vegetables.
03:15Would I go to a dinner party and expect cottage pie?
03:19Probably not.
03:20This champ is account director and runner, Richard.
03:25I know what I like and, really, I like my nice fishes, my nice wines, my nice meats.
03:30And I know what goes with what.
03:31So, yeah, I'm a bit of a food.
03:32I guess I am, yeah, yeah.
03:34I'm quite loud and, like, quite funny, quite quirky.
03:38If anybody ever gives me a bit of stick, I always quickly give a bit of stick back.
03:43He's quick, all right.
03:44And talking of beef, how does it smell?
03:47It just smells, like, delicious.
03:50Right?
03:52Ooh, love meat.
03:54Jolly good.
03:56Claire chops veg and cooks with her beloved beef.
04:00She then tops with mashed potato and carefully cheese.
04:04Not a winning dish in my eyes.
04:06Cottage pie.
04:06I could knock that up in probably 20 minutes.
04:08Speed isn't everything, Richard.
04:11No chickens.
04:12Relax, guys.
04:12She's after veg.
04:14So, I told my guests that I will be cooking carrots and parsnips and I bet they didn't
04:19think I'd be growing them in wheelie bins.
04:21Ooh, that was a big one.
04:23Wow!
04:25It's wheelie big.
04:26Sorry.
04:27That's the biggest one I've ever seen.
04:29Yeah.
04:30It's in my top three as well.
04:32Fresh from the bin, Claire will honey roast these later.
04:37On to dessert.
04:38Apple crumble with custard.
04:41I love apple crumble.
04:43And custard.
04:44Emergency.
04:46Paging Dr B.
04:47Fourth up is paediatric doctor Sophie.
04:50Most days involve me making a bit of a fool of myself to keep the kids happy.
04:53My job can be very stressful.
04:56It can be very intense.
04:57I love my dog more than anything in the world.
05:00She's my little baby girl.
05:01Is it my one of my blankets?
05:03Yeah.
05:03Is that the spot?
05:04Yeah.
05:04She's the cutest thing.
05:06I probably talk to her and for her far too much.
05:10That is good spot.
05:11Very good spot, mummy.
05:12Oh, yeah.
05:12I love it.
05:13I love it.
05:14You know, that's nothing like my actual voice.
05:17I guess I don't get on with people who are very, very loud, like very opinionated.
05:24I'm definitely like loud, proud, like not aggressive, but I'm definitely like in your face.
05:29I want you to know I'm there.
05:30Last to join the gang is hotel receptionist Davith.
05:34I like the person behind reception and always known for like causing trouble.
05:38I get into trouble for my lack of concentration all the time and I think that's just like one of
05:41my perks, you know.
05:42Hello, sir.
05:43Welcome.
05:44How are you?
05:45There we go, sir.
05:46She'll be on the second floor.
05:47Lift on your left hand side if you need anything.
05:50I don't want to like pick myself up or pat myself on the back, but I will pat myself on
05:53the back because I actually think I'm really naturally funny.
05:56Like I could tell you a joke right now.
05:58Go on then.
05:59What does a grape say when it's squished?
06:02Nothing.
06:03It just lets out a little whine.
06:07That's good actually.
06:08In the kitchen, apples are chopped and energies are channeled.
06:12I don't even know how I manage to get into crystals.
06:15I just like to keep certain crystals close to me to help me, guide me on my day and keep
06:21me grounded.
06:22Where are they then?
06:23Do you really want to know where I keep my crystal?
06:25Well, I'm not sure I do now.
06:27It's in my bra.
06:31Oh yes, right here.
06:33By my heart.
06:35That is not where your heart is.
06:37I know, it's all right.
06:41I've got a big heart.
06:43So it goes both ways.
06:44Clever.
06:47Claire adds a crumble topping to the apples ready to be cooked tonight.
06:53With all the prep done, off she pops for a spruce up.
06:58I think looking at this, I reckon this would be a bloke.
07:03I don't know why, I think it's a man's type of menu.
07:10Barad for my night.
07:12Barbra Streisand.
07:15First to arrive is superstar lookalike Sandra.
07:18Hello.
07:19Hello.
07:19Coming into my house.
07:21I'm Claire.
07:22Good to meet you.
07:22I'm Sandra.
07:23Sandra, hiya.
07:24Sandra, come on down.
07:25Let's go and get a drink, shall we?
07:27Oh, yes, please.
07:28Look at that view.
07:29There you go, lovely.
07:30Oh, thank you.
07:30Enjoy.
07:32Is that your cow?
07:33Yes, that's my cow.
07:34I've milked him this morning.
07:35What's the cow's name?
07:36Daisy.
07:37Oh.
07:38Yeah.
07:38That's very rich now.
07:41She can't hear you.
07:43I'm sorry, Daisy.
07:47Second to the door is self-professed troublemaker, Dabith.
07:50Hi!
07:51How are you?
07:52Your name?
07:53I'm Claire.
07:53Oh, it is Dabith.
07:54How are you?
07:55I know.
07:56It's mad, isn't it?
07:57Let's go down and get a drink.
07:59Let's do it.
07:59Hello, how are you?
08:00I'm Sandra.
08:00Oh, I'm Dabith.
08:01Nice to meet you.
08:03You look stunning, Sandra.
08:05Oh, my gosh.
08:05I was about to wear that tonight, but I thought, no.
08:08Well, it would look better on me anyway, so don't worry.
08:10You made the right choice.
08:13I'm not one to obviously leave the house in a full denim dress,
08:16like some people are, or Pat Butcher earrings.
08:20But, you know, we can all go with our own fashion sense, I suppose.
08:23Oh!
08:24You've got a super little cute nose.
08:26Oh, thank you so much.
08:27I'd like to say my mother gave it to me, but it wouldn't be true.
08:29It's my dad, unfortunately.
08:31Lucky boy.
08:31I have a ski slope.
08:33I could ice sink down that nose, Sandra.
08:35It's like a ski slope, I'm telling you.
08:37Black ice is on that nose.
08:39There'll be a black eye, not black ice.
08:44Next in is fast foodie Richard.
08:47Hello.
08:49You OK?
08:49Welcome to my home.
08:50I'm Richard.
08:51I'm Claire.
08:51Nice to meet you.
08:52How are you?
08:53I am a hugger.
08:54Can I give you a hug?
08:55How are you?
08:56Nice to see you.
08:57I'm David.
08:57Are you Richard?
08:58Oh, no, hug, hug.
09:00I'm Sandra.
09:01I've never been hugged so much in all my life.
09:06More hugs incoming.
09:07Sophie's here.
09:08Yep.
09:09Hi.
09:09Hi.
09:10Come on in, I'm Claire.
09:11Hi.
09:13What's your name?
09:14I love your hair.
09:14I'm Sophie.
09:15Hi, Sophie.
09:16Claire again.
09:17I'm Richard.
09:17Nice to meet you.
09:18Are you OK?
09:19They've all given me a hug, so we'd better give them a hug.
09:21What's your name?
09:22I'm Sophie.
09:23Oh, I'm a hugger.
09:23I'm David.
09:24How are you?
09:25Hi.
09:25How are you?
09:27Hi.
09:28I'm Sandra.
09:29Lovely to meet you.
09:29Lovely to meet you, babe.
09:31Oh, this is so exciting.
09:33Yeah.
09:33Well, she will give you a hug.
09:34Sorry.
09:36This is my night.
09:37I'm so sorry.
09:38My night.
09:39Got to make people, put people in line.
09:41This is my night.
09:43Welcome to my night, guys.
09:44Yay!
09:46Oh, I'm so excited.
09:48Coming up.
09:48I normally like things hard.
09:50Fruity fun.
09:51I don't eat the thing yet.
09:53You'll have to figure it out.
09:55Oh!
09:56Sophie's bad friends are just, I love them.
09:59And a crumble crisis.
10:01Watch your fire alarms now, guys.
10:02Oh, my God, it's actually done.
10:04That is a complete disaster.
10:13It's night one in South Wales.
10:15Hooray!
10:17Where Father Clare is bidding for the cash prize with a hearty Welsh spread.
10:22And while she cracks on in the kitchen, Sophie and Sandra are having a nosy.
10:28Oh, this is a nice room.
10:30Lovely.
10:31A lovely look, isn't it?
10:33That is gorgeous for you.
10:34Flippin' love that view.
10:35I'm so envious of it.
10:37Oh, look.
10:38It's me.
10:42You found yourself.
10:43I live here.
10:46So what are these about you?
10:48I don't know.
10:48Do you think, like, each one means something different?
10:50Does she do, like, maybe, you know, like, Reiki, is it called?
10:54Yeah, like healing with crystals, that kind of thing.
10:56I do believe in things like that, yeah.
10:58And I do believe in things that can heal people.
11:00And if you feel that a crystal is helping you feel better in yourself or your wellbeing,
11:06it's not harming anybody, is it?
11:08Well, quite.
11:10Ooh.
11:12Ooh.
11:12Ooh.
11:12Ooh.
11:13Get my head complete.
11:14Don't fall asleep, mind.
11:15I'll have to have your food.
11:16Ooh.
11:19How's that?
11:20How's that?
11:20Are you feeling zen?
11:21Oh, right there, yes.
11:22Let's do the energy, then.
11:24Have you done this before, Sandra?
11:27It's leaving, I can feel it.
11:29Obviously, I'm a doctor, so, you know, evidence-based practice works,
11:35but, like, I think if you really believe something works,
11:38then you've got the...
11:40Oh, what's it called?
11:40The...
11:41Placebo effect?
11:42The effect.
11:44Placebo?
11:45The...
11:45Placebo effect.
11:46That's the word I'm looking for.
11:48Got there in the end.
11:49Yeah, the placebo effect.
11:50And that's a very real thing.
11:51So, you know, if you put something on your head, it could be anything,
11:54but if you believe it'll make you feel better, chances are you will feel better,
11:58so it works.
12:00Sounds promising.
12:01Do you feel different?
12:03Yes.
12:03Do you?
12:04Yeah.
12:04Let's go and ask her about all this now.
12:07I think I might just stay here.
12:12Well, Sophie has a nap.
12:14Claire is plating up.
12:19Let go.
12:21Oh, my God, my heart is racing.
12:27I'm well pleased with those guys.
12:31Scotch egg coming up.
12:32She said it.
12:33Homemade Scotch egg with red onion chutney and a mustard mayo dip.
12:37And a figgy salad.
12:40There you go, my lovely.
12:42OK.
12:43There we go, Richard.
12:44Bye.
12:45Fill your bellies.
12:46Yay!
12:46Well done.
12:47Thank you so much.
12:50So, thoughts, anyone?
12:58Anyone?
12:59Oh, my God, that's really nice.
13:01How would you get that yolk, that runny?
13:03I don't know.
13:04I was like, I've been having nightmares about that runny yolk and it's perfect, isn't it?
13:07That's all on me, that is as well, isn't it?
13:09That's fantastic.
13:10I don't know how to eat the fig yet.
13:11You'll have to tell me to do it after, but...
13:13You'll have to figure it out.
13:15Oh!
13:16Oh!
13:16That was amazing.
13:18That was good.
13:18I normally like things hard, but this is amazing, this soft yolk.
13:23I'm still chuffing, guys, that the yolk is runny.
13:27Oh, my God.
13:30Personally, I like my yolk hard.
13:33The white around the one half and the yellow was still, like, soft and runny,
13:37and I thought, hmm, don't like that.
13:39Did you make the mayonnaise as well?
13:41No, we didn't make the mayonnaise.
13:43Oh, man!
13:44The mustard mayo is just two condiments mixed together, sorry, guys.
13:48I think for a dinner party, you try and impress,
13:52and you don't get many chances in a competition like this to impress,
13:54and I think you should try your best to go outside your comfort zone
13:58and make something from scratch.
14:00Yeah, Richard pulled me up on the fact that I didn't make my mustard mayo,
14:04but can't do it all, can we?
14:06The sausage is really nice.
14:08How would you make the sausages around the egg?
14:10Well, I've got a little secret, guys.
14:12The pork around your scotch eggs has come from my uncle's farm.
14:17Ooh!
14:17And they are my dad's pigs that we've home reared and bred.
14:21They're all called pig, apart from...
14:23Good, you can't have them names.
14:24You can't have them names.
14:25We have them.
14:26Electional attachments and all that.
14:27Yeah.
14:28I have named a couple of them, though.
14:29You have?
14:29Yes.
14:30OK.
14:30We've got Kevin.
14:31OK.
14:32Kevin Bacon.
14:33Oh!
14:35That's genius!
14:36If I had met Kevin Bacon, touched Kevin Bacon, I'd probably...
14:41I'd like to think I couldn't eat Kevin Bacon, but I really enjoyed the pork.
14:47So, yeah.
14:48So?
14:49Hypocrite.
14:49Yeah.
14:51I'm really, really pleased with how the starter went down.
14:54Everyone seemed to enjoy it.
14:55They were making lots of noises and the compliments were fantastic,
14:59so I'm really chuffed with that.
15:00On to the main, then.
15:05The amount of butter that I put in these ingredients tonight, I think I'm going to give everyone
15:08a heart attack.
15:10Well, hopefully not.
15:12Hopefully not.
15:13Indeed.
15:14He's dollop of a penny.
15:16The veg is primed and plated.
15:18Oops.
15:18And the pies are out.
15:21I'm a little bit nervous about the size of my main course, because I'm feeling quite full
15:25already after my starter, so hopefully it'll go down well anyway.
15:30Time to butter them up.
15:32And douse them in gravy by the looks of it.
15:35Cottage pie with honey-roasted veg and buttery green beans.
15:38There you go, mate.
15:39Oh!
15:40Oh, wow!
15:41That's amazing!
15:42That's amazing!
15:43Wow!
15:53Cottage pie, not maybe something I would have chosen, but actually the way she did it in
15:58our own little bowls.
15:59You know, each one was so unique and it was so flavourful.
16:02You know, it was really, really good.
16:04Just massively filling.
16:05And it's just like seasoned perfectly, isn't it?
16:07It's just amazing, honestly, I'm telling you.
16:09And the mash on top is just so complimentary.
16:12There's a little bit of caffili cheese on there for you to have it.
16:15Oh!
16:16There's a hip on the theme.
16:17There's a Welsh theme.
16:18Yeah.
16:19And I'm sure there's a pun in there somewhere.
16:21You seasoned it very carefully.
16:23You did.
16:24It's amazing.
16:24Get in!
16:26Yeah, Sophie!
16:28Sophie's bad puns are just...
16:29I love them.
16:30I think they're just funny.
16:32And they just keep coming.
16:34They keep coming.
16:35So, I think maybe by the end of the week I'm going to be a bit like, oh, here we
16:39go again.
16:42I'm stuffed.
16:42I'm really fond of you too.
16:44I'm squirted and everything.
16:45Portion sizes are too big for me.
16:46When you look at it, you think you can eat and you can enjoy it, but it's just too big.
16:49Too much.
16:50And from extra large portions to extraterrestrials.
16:54Please don't laugh at me when I tell you my biggest fear.
16:56I would never doubt it.
16:57You know the 80s, extraterrestrial, E.T.
17:01Oh, yeah?
17:01That's mine.
17:02Really?
17:03Oh, you're scaring.
17:04Wait, from the movie?
17:04E.T.
17:05Really?
17:06With the finger.
17:07Yeah, don't do the finger!
17:08Oh, sorry.
17:09On the mic.
17:10Yeah.
17:11Yeah.
17:14What's your biggest fears?
17:16Mine's milk.
17:17Milk?
17:18Yeah.
17:18I can't drink milk.
17:20No, I can't drink milk.
17:21I can't even look at it.
17:22If it's dripping out someone's mouth, I can hear the dish clanging.
17:26It's like, no thanks.
17:28Apparently, like, the strict dairy eaters who were like, no, no, only real milk.
17:31If you give them pea milk, they're more likely to like that.
17:34And isn't it?
17:35Yeah, I drink it all the time.
17:36So, I'm normally vegan.
17:38Oh, no way!
17:39Oh, no way!
17:40Oh, no way!
17:41There needs to be telling you about my pigs and everything.
17:46If I was a vegan, I wouldn't eat meat.
17:49That's generally the rule.
17:51I hate the idea of, you know, taking something's life to eat.
17:54I will then very happily eat it.
17:56I say flexitarian now, cos outside my own house, I'll eat whatever I'm given.
18:00Cos I love food.
18:00I appreciate food.
18:01I love it.
18:02Well, I think all our jaws dropped on the table at that point.
18:05How can you be a vegan if you're eating a cottage pie?
18:08A flexitarian.
18:09That's like saying, like, you're a trisexual, isn't it?
18:12Isn't it, though?
18:13You can just try anything once.
18:15Just greedy.
18:17And if that wasn't confusing enough, now a game with inflatable pigs.
18:21Right, so these are our little piggies.
18:23Yeah.
18:23We have David, Richard, Sophie, Clay and Sandra!
18:30Come on, Richard!
18:31Come on, Richard!
18:32But once in my life, I'm not fatter than anyone else!
18:36So, the aim of the game, we've got these fly squatters here.
18:39We have to go around both of the cones, all the way around and then into the pen.
18:44On your marks, get set, go!
18:46One, two...
18:48Oh!
18:49Oh!
18:50Oh!
18:51Oh!
18:51Oh!
18:55It was good fun.
18:56I thought everyone got involved.
18:57It was a bit basic, though.
18:59Not my type of entertainment.
19:01One, two!
19:03Oh!
19:04Come on!
19:05Two up, 21!
19:07Oh!
19:0722!
19:08Yay!
19:09No-one is skilled at that game, right?
19:11So, like, there's no way anyone could be upset if you can't whack a pig properly.
19:15Four!
19:17Four!
19:17Four!
19:17Four!
19:19Yay!
19:20Well done!
19:22Next to go.
19:23Yay!
19:23Yay!
19:26Can anyone smell burning?
19:28Watch your fire alarms now, guys.
19:31Oh, my God, it's actually burning.
19:34That is a complete disaster.
19:36So, I'm just going to wing it.
19:37Cover it in custard and hopefully everyone's so full they're not really hungry anymore.
19:43Here's open.
19:44Apple crumble covered with salted caramel and custard to hide the burnt bits.
19:55A lovely way to finish off the meal, that was.
19:58Really nice.
19:59I think this is my favourite dessert ever.
20:01What?
20:02Isn't it?
20:02Yeah, genuinely.
20:03Forever.
20:04Yeah.
20:05Like, fruity, crumbly, with custard and salted caramel.
20:09It's literally, like, the four things I love the most in the whole world.
20:11Aw.
20:12I'll take that.
20:13Yeah, you take that.
20:14I like the apple and, you know, the custard.
20:17Salted caramel.
20:19Mmm.
20:20It was amazing.
20:21I could eat that for all three courses and still be very happy.
20:25Sophie's taste buds must be completely different because I wouldn't have called that the best dessert I've ever had.
20:31Take the praise, Clare.
20:34So, who is the most famous person you guys have met?
20:37I've got to tell you this one.
20:38Natalie Ambrouliou.
20:39No way!
20:40She's on top of the pops.
20:41Yeah.
20:41And she walked out after singing to go back and the guy in front of me said,
20:47give us a kiss.
20:48So, she thought, I shouted her.
20:51So, she gave me a kiss on her cheek and walked off.
20:53Oh, my God!
20:53And I'm like, yes.
20:54So, I've met Natalie Ambrouliou.
20:55Wow!
20:55That's amazing.
20:56That is a really cool story.
20:58She asked me out, but I declined, you know.
21:00You're going to be Richard Ambrouliou.
21:06I definitely delivered what I set out to do.
21:08I'm really happy.
21:10The night went really well.
21:12How I got away with that crumble, I will never know.
21:16We're about to find out.
21:18Claire has been a beautiful host.
21:20The food has been gorgeous, but the portion sizes were just a little bit too big.
21:23So, for that reason, I'm going to give her an eight.
21:26Overall, it was a really good night.
21:29The eggs were too runny.
21:30The veg was quite soaked in gravy, which let it down.
21:33So, because of that, I'm going to score Claire a seven.
21:36The food portions were too big for my palate.
21:38Some of the things wasn't made from scratch.
21:42So, sorry, Claire, tonight I'm going to give you a six.
21:45So, overall, I had a fantastic time.
21:47The atmosphere was great.
21:48A few things missing with the food.
21:50The green beans were a bit hard for me.
21:52So, for that reason, I would love to give Claire an eight.
21:55Claire kicks off our Welsh week with a solid 29 out of 40.
22:01Next time, Tremendous Tarts.
22:04That was amazing.
22:05I've never had pastry like that before.
22:07Steffin'.
22:08And a hunky host.
22:09Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, whoa, here they are.
22:13Oh, is he so brown?
22:14Yay!
22:15I've never won a cap before.
22:17Nothing's white, I'm torn.
22:19I'm all out of faith.
22:22This is how I feel.
22:24I'm cold and I am shamed.
22:27Lying naked on the floor.
22:29Illusion never changed.
22:32Into something real.
22:34I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is tall.
22:40I'm all out of faith.
22:42This is how I feel.
22:47It's so high.
22:47You know, I would love to help me and I'm just like,
22:47you know, 55,000 feet.
22:47But I require a very long time to get down and give up.
22:47You can speak, yes.
