00:00I'm ready for you now.
00:03On today's show...
00:05Let's do this! Okay!
00:08Splattering shellfish!
00:10It just went in my face!
00:15Preposterous purchases!
00:17A six-pack maker?
00:18It said that you could put it on you...
00:20And press the button, it goes...
00:24Oh, Dave.
00:25If it was that easy, wouldn't everybody own one?
00:30God, I would...
00:30And trouser trouble!
00:32Yes, boys, you take me!
00:33I'm done! I'm out! I'm out!
00:35It's a good job he's got underpants on!
00:39Don't jiggle, jiggle, jiggle, jiggle!
00:41Has five finely dressed diners duke it out for a dollop of dosh?
00:47That was an insane last battle.
00:57It's the final day in Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire,
01:00birthplace of Pink Floyd guitarist Dave Gilmore.
01:05And aiming to be in the money later
01:08is Lady of Leisure, Michaela.
01:11Oh, it needs milk, too.
01:13Okay.
01:13My theme tonight is Italy.
01:17I love the food.
01:18I love the people.
01:20It's just amazing.
01:21I hope everyone can enjoy a bit of Dolce Vita.
01:24Cheers!
01:26With high hopes for herself
01:28is teaching assistant Michelle,
01:30who kicked things off
01:31with a night of transatlantic tucker.
01:34Please enjoy.
01:35It's very tasty.
01:36It's really good.
01:37Go.
01:38Go!
01:39Very proud of my night.
01:41I think I did showcase myself very well.
01:45It's like being at a 10-year-old birthday party.
01:48I love it.
01:48I think I'm going to be up there.
01:50I think I'm a contender.
01:51Cheers.
01:52Cheers.
01:53And there was lots for everyone
01:54to contend with on Tuesday night.
01:57This is just the start of the adventure
01:59about to go on.
02:00With self-styled culinary explorer Dave's
02:03daring menu of fused flavors.
02:06That's so spicy.
02:08My night represented something about me.
02:11It was full of adventure.
02:12It was full of twists.
02:13Definitely avoid the sausages.
02:15And there were moments of really good fun
02:17and moments where things could have been better,
02:19but it was just part of the experience.
02:21Reveal that cheesecake underneath.
02:24And everyone got to experience
02:25a truly tummy-turning twist
02:27in the form of Dave's Prosecco-topped pud.
02:30Oh.
02:31Oh, shit.
02:33It was something different
02:35and something I'll probably never want to eat again,
02:38but he tried.
02:40Hello!
02:41Come in!
02:42Cheers.
02:42There was more Prosecco on show on Wednesday
02:45when sales director Martina went for the wow factor.
02:48What's this?
02:50A Prosecco machine.
02:52Yeah, not bad.
02:54The sauce is good.
02:55The thickness of it is perfect.
02:57And it was all topped off
02:59with what she hoped was a jig for victory.
03:03I need to wait!
03:06I was really happy with my night,
03:08really confident,
03:09because I pulled out all the stops.
03:11Woo!
03:12Cheers!
03:13Cheers, everyone.
03:13But feeling he's somewhat superseded them all
03:17is tech entrepreneur Shane.
03:20Very happy with it.
03:21I think they've turned out perfectly.
03:22Shane, this is absolutely incredible.
03:25You're all a bit worried now.
03:26I'm so excited.
03:27I don't want to jinx it,
03:29but I feel like a winner.
03:31I made the ice cream myself
03:33from scratch.
03:34Wow!
03:35It's absolutely delicious.
03:37I think I do have a pretty clear lead,
03:41and I don't know,
03:43maybe Mikaela found a genie last night,
03:46and...
03:47because that's what it'll take to beat me.
03:49Well, you're Aladdin first place for now, eh?
03:53Ugh.
03:54Shane's stonking score of 36 points
03:56puts him top of the pile.
03:58So, what's everyone expecting tonight?
04:01The one word I have in my head
04:03about tonight is intrigue.
04:05I have no idea what to expect.
04:08You just never know with Mikaela, really.
04:10Could be terrible.
04:11Could be excellent.
04:13The inspiration for my menu today
04:16comes from a really fantastic restaurant
04:19not too far from our home in Italy.
04:22Sounds fancy.
04:23I'm guessing they won't deliver.
04:25It's a total Italian extravaganza,
04:28and it should be amazing.
04:30First up on Mikaela's Italian restaurant rip-off
04:34is the main burrata-filled pasta hearts
04:37with parmesan.
04:39So, this main is definitely something I would order in a restaurant.
04:43For sure.
04:45So, I'm excited.
04:46I'll be surprised if Mikaela's making her own pasta,
04:49but I'll also be very, very impressed.
04:51Prepare to be very, very impressed
04:54as she's pre-prepped her own dough.
04:56I really hope they'll be impressed.
04:58I've made my own pasta, because I'm impressed.
05:02This looks great.
05:04I love burrata.
05:05Is that meat?
05:06Maybe a meat or mince or something?
05:09Mikaela?
05:10Burrata is just a really, really nice form of mozzarella.
05:14The designated dairy is paired with parmesan.
05:18I think the presentation on this one could be quite interesting,
05:21whether it's going to be lots of little hearts,
05:23whether it's going to be one big heart,
05:24or whether it's going to be a combination of the two.
05:28These are my hearts.
05:30Lovely.
05:31The cheesy fillings portioned out on the pasta base,
05:34which is topped and cut into romantic-looking ravioli.
05:40Look! He's so cute.
05:42The pasta process is repeated,
05:44and they're placed on plates until later.
05:47I hope their minds are completely blown away.
05:49I'm excited for my hearts.
05:52Time for the sauce.
05:53I'm not worried that it's going to be too cheesy.
05:56Everyone loves good cheese, and this is good cheese.
06:00Mikaela mixes butter, garlic and rosemary,
06:04and stirs in stock, cream and parmesan.
06:08I think that's kind of the sauce done.
06:10Nice and easy.
06:12Easy cheesy.
06:14On to the starter.
06:16Bruschetta with prawns, cognac and roasted cherry tomatoes.
06:21I think she'll get them pre-sheld.
06:23I don't think she's ever taken apart a prawn.
06:26I'm ready for you now.
06:28Ooh, I think I'll pass.
06:30Oh, they've got little whiskers.
06:32This should be fun.
06:34Er, they are.
06:36Ooh.
06:38It just went in my face.
06:41Can I imagine Mikaela, you know, shelling, deveining the prawns?
06:46Er, yeah, I think she can do it.
06:49Ooh!
06:50Oh, my God!
06:53I would really hope my guests are impressed by the effort I'm going to doing this, because
06:58this is definitely going the extra mile, guys.
07:01Yay!
07:02Done.
07:03If the prawns work with the cognac, this should be a yummy dish.
07:08Well, she's making her own bisque by blending butter, onions, garlic, rosemary, chilli and stock, before the shells go in
07:15for a soak.
07:16Oh, look at those whisper things.
07:18They're huge.
07:20Oh, it smells like the sea, but, like, maybe Bognor or somewhere.
07:26Any liquid with anything that's not a liquid could result in a mush.
07:32That's my learning from my night.
07:33So I think cognac, tomato and bruschetta could turn, if not careful, into a little bit of a mush.
07:40The voice of experience there, and it's cognac.
07:44Brandy and fish, everyone's favourite.
07:47You're telling me.
07:49The brandy bonds with the bisque, and it's capped off with cream.
07:53That's just going to sit there now, and it'll be fantastic later.
07:57It'll be shushed up.
07:58And be served on ciabatta with roasted tomatoes and the prawns tonight.
08:02On to dessert.
08:03Vanilla panna cotta with a raspberry sauce and fresh berries.
08:08I sense confidence in this dessert.
08:11I've only ever made this once before.
08:13It did actually turn out well, so hopefully that can be replicated this evening.
08:18It could be messed up quite easily, so we'll have to see if she can, like, get the smoothness, the
08:24texture just right.
08:27Michaela heats milk with cream and sugar before slicing and stirring in vanilla.
08:32It looks very nice.
08:34I like panna cotta.
08:35It's one of my favourite dishes, actually.
08:37If I was at a nice restaurant, having berries, raspberries and vanilla together is definitely something I would pick.
08:42So I'm looking forward to that flavoursome mix.
08:45Well, Michaela's going all giddy over gelatin.
08:49Come on, guy, get soggy.
08:52Oh, yeah, boy, get soggy.
08:55OK.
08:56And then when it's melted, apparently then you just pour it in the things, and that's it.
09:00Job done.
09:02This is giving me positive vibes, people.
09:05They'll sit and be served tonight.
09:08I've done everything that I can, so now I need to go and prep myself and make myself bellissimo.
09:16Oh, dress to impress.
09:18Wow.
09:19OK.
09:20That's...
09:20Oh, I've got a lovely dress as well.
09:22Oh, I've got a really lovely dress.
09:23I'm wearing it tonight.
09:24Will it impress?
09:25Yes, it will.
09:26I'm going to look like Cinderella.
09:27Maybe there's many worries me about.
09:30Time to impress my guests.
09:33The first of whom is Martina.
09:36Hi!
09:37So, cheers.
09:38Cheers.
09:40Colour matching the motor, it's Michelle.
09:43Hello!
09:44Wow!
09:45Look at you.
09:46Cheers.
09:47Maybe Dave has his best track suit on tonight.
09:50No track, but all suit.
09:52Here he is.
09:53Oh, my gosh, hi!
09:55Hello!
09:56Hello!
09:59I thought you were going to wear a glitzy, glamour-y track suit or something.
10:02Like some sparkles or something.
10:04An impressive track suit.
10:06Maybe something like embroidered with Dave.
10:09That's what I'm wearing right now.
10:12Last in, currently to Shane.
10:14Hi, Shane.
10:16Hello.
10:17Hello.
10:19Here's to a really great last evening, guys.
10:21Let's all enjoy ourselves.
10:23Cheers.
10:25Coming up.
10:27Yes!
10:29Motoring misunderstandings.
10:31Always topless.
10:32Always.
10:32Babe, you of all people should not go topless in a car.
10:36Any time of the year, I take my top off and drive through the countryside.
10:41Oh, thank you.
10:42And the wedges won.
10:44So, let's look, guys, in fifth place.
10:56It's the final night in Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire.
10:59Cheers!
11:01Where Lady of Leisure, Michaela, is hoping her Italian extravaganza will forza her into contention for this week's cash.
11:10While their host hot-foots it to the kitchen.
11:13Let's do this.
11:14The guests waste no time in having a nosy.
11:17Oh!
11:18What's in the box?
11:20This could go wrong.
11:22Not a few.
11:23Oh, look at that.
11:25Oh, my goodness.
11:26Look how beautiful that is.
11:28Oh, that is so lovely.
11:29Now, that's a proper villa.
11:31Is that a swimming pool?
11:32That is a swimming pool.
11:34Wait, I think you can see two.
11:35Oh, my golly gosh.
11:37Wow.
11:37That's the butler's quarters.
11:39No, that's going to be where I stay.
11:42I think I saw a guest house there.
11:45I've already kind of claimed it.
11:46I think it's going to be the house of Michel.
11:49I wouldn't book your tickets quite yet.
11:51I'm so impressed that everyone's putting so much effort with their outfits,
11:55and so I hope my food reflects their effort.
11:59It's a bit early for a victory dance.
12:02The prawns top the tomatoes and ciabatta before a bisky bath.
12:07Fishes are happy now because they're swimming in the bisque.
12:10I don't know about happy.
12:12Let's start impressing.
12:14Here we go.
12:15Bruschetta with prawns, cognac and roasted cherry tomatoes.
12:21Amazing.
12:21You're starting.
12:24Look at this.
12:32This is really good, Macaula.
12:34I love the kick.
12:35I didn't expect the kick.
12:36All the flavours are actually layered, so you're meant to pick that up.
12:40So, well done.
12:41Really nice.
12:42Yeah, really good.
12:43Presentation's beautiful.
12:44It's just pretty.
12:44It's really pretty on a plate.
12:46My first thought was worry.
12:49Extreme concern for the position I thought I solidified.
12:53It was incredible.
12:55Girl made her own bisque.
12:57It soaked up everything beautifully.
12:59It was just absolutely delicious.
13:02With the starter a success, Martina wants to find out more about the photos.
13:07We found lots of nice pictures of houses.
13:09Are they yours?
13:10Mm-hmm.
13:10Oh!
13:12God.
13:13It's one house.
13:14Is it?
13:14And it's got two swimming pools.
13:16I've already picked out the guest house for myself.
13:19Is it in Tuscany?
13:20No, it's in Umbria.
13:22The heart of Italy.
13:23It is the best place.
13:25It's so chilled, so relaxed.
13:28It's amazing.
13:29Makala definitely suits the abroad lifestyle, so I wasn't massively surprised.
13:35I guess I'm just happy for her.
13:37I kind of bought my house in Italy on impulse, so what things on impulse have you guys bought?
13:44I bought a lovely convertible Mercedes, and I loved it.
13:48Roof down, always topless.
13:50Always.
13:54Babe, you of all people should not go topless in a car.
13:57No, no, it was my roof.
14:01Martina topless in a Mercedes is like, no, that's not a thing I want to see, I'm afraid.
14:09It was amazing.
14:09Any time of the year, I'd take my top off and drive through the countryside.
14:14Like a modern-day Lady Godiva.
14:17So the best thing I've ever brought on impulse was a six-pack maker.
14:22Uh-huh.
14:22So you could put, it said that you could put it on you.
14:26Actually, stop.
14:27And then it would like, it would make you have a six-pack because it was like electrical.
14:32Actually, for real?
14:33Yeah.
14:33And you press the button, it goes.
14:36Oh, Dave.
14:37If it was that easy,
14:39wouldn't everybody own one?
14:41I had to send mine back.
14:43Meanwhile, Michaela's readying her ravioli.
14:46Let's get these babies on the table.
14:50Burrata-filled pasta hearts with parmesan.
14:56Ooh.
14:58Oh, thank you.
15:03It's a great dish.
15:04It's really rich.
15:05It's lovely and really loads of flavours.
15:07Thank you so much.
15:09Did you make the pasta?
15:10I actually did.
15:11That's great.
15:12Yeah, I did actually do it.
15:14Proper good.
15:15Absolutely delicious.
15:16Oh, thank you.
15:17Once I had the starter, I was incredibly worried.
15:19Once I had the main, I could sit back, relax a bit.
15:23Don't get too comfortable.
15:26It's absolutely delicious.
15:27Really nice.
15:28Yeah, pulled it out of the bag.
15:30Oh, thanks, guys.
15:32It was delicious.
15:33So delicious.
15:34Like, and all the cheese.
15:36It was like a cheesy galore in my mouth.
15:39This main course definitely blew me away.
15:41It was an exceptional, wholesome, awesomeness of flavour.
15:46I'm happy with how my main was received.
15:49I think everyone was positive.
15:52So how are you going to follow up on your mighty main?
15:55I have a surprise for my guests this evening.
15:59I'd like to see just quite how low they can go.
16:03Interesting.
16:04You have to pick up the box with your teeth.
16:08Seriously?
16:09Absolutely.
16:10You got it.
16:11Martina up first then.
16:12Oh, she is struggling.
16:16Oh, my Lord.
16:18The cereal box game was hilarious.
16:20I can't do it.
16:23Maybe I'm not that flexible anymore.
16:26Shane's next up.
16:28Oh, something's gone.
16:30It's the trousers.
16:31What does that mean for him in the competition?
16:35I'm done.
16:36I'm out.
16:36I'm out.
16:37It's a good job he's got underpants on.
16:42Well, he's carrying on.
16:44He's clinging on.
16:45Not even by the suit of his pants anymore.
16:47But the fist goes down there.
16:49A valiant effort.
16:51Dave now.
16:52He'll have seen what happened to Shane in the last round.
16:55He won't want that.
16:55But the hand goes down.
16:57And so does he.
16:57He'll be disappointed with that.
17:00Uh-oh.
17:01You're out.
17:02And so it's into the final we go.
17:05So it's just me and you now?
17:06Yeah.
17:07Oh, my God.
17:07They were really competitive.
17:09They got their claws out.
17:10They were getting that box.
17:11Michaela's looking to strike a real blow here with that typical white stance.
17:17It's going to take something special.
17:18Ah, she fails.
17:20If you've done this, you've won and you win seven nights all-inclusive at my house.
17:26She will not need any more motivation than that.
17:29Let's do this.
17:30All right.
17:32All the years of working out and practicing.
17:35And I'm a limo champ also, I shouldn't mention.
17:38Michelle, the heels are off.
17:40She knows this is for cereal box glory.
17:43Yeah, she's in there.
17:45Oh, my God.
17:46Go, go.
17:47That's it.
17:48She's done it.
17:49And just look at what it means.
17:55That is bonkers.
17:57Man, Michelle can really get low with that.
18:00That was an insane last battle.
18:02Seven nights on a cussing.
18:04Seven nights on a cussing.
18:06Baby, I'm going to Italy.
18:10Time for put.
18:12Cooney is poured onto the panna cottas alongside berries.
18:16Praise thee to the panna cotta.
18:19Amen to that.
18:20Here it is, vanilla panna cotta with a raspberry sauce and fresh berries.
18:26Oh, thank you.
18:30You're welcome.
18:32There you go, my big boy.
18:34Oh, thank you.
18:36Oh, it's got a great jiggle to it.
18:37It's all in the jiggle, jiggle, jiggle, jiggle.
18:46McCullough, this is exceptional.
18:47Stunning.
18:48Aw, thanks, guys.
18:50You nailed it.
18:51Great job.
18:52Amazing.
18:53Amazing, yeah.
18:54I think it's delicious.
18:55Aw, thank you.
18:56Yeah, it's really nice.
18:57Yeah.
18:58My dessert was perfect.
19:00Like, it was silky, it was smooth.
19:02It was everything you want out of a panna cotta.
19:04Pudding was beautiful.
19:06Who wants to find out a little bit more about your night?
19:10Oh, yeah, I'm all in.
19:14I think the idea of combining things people never combine is very daring.
19:22I'm not going to back away from it.
19:24It was bold.
19:25It was hopefully exciting.
19:27And it was a bit of an adventure for everyone involved.
19:31You can say that again.
19:33I actually felt quite proud of myself for fulfilling the mission that I set out to do, which was to
19:38be daring in my menu.
19:40The fact that she did 46 wings in 12 minutes was actually insane.
19:48Yes.
19:50I am very proud of the fact that I ate 46 wings.
19:54Like, it is my crowning achievement in my life.
19:58Yes.
19:59Yes, people.
20:00Yes, people.
20:00Cheers.
20:02To my seven days in Italy.
20:04Yay.
20:05I would think I'm in the running, still not convinced I'm in pole position.
20:12I still think Shane might edge it.
20:15Well, it's going to take a special score to topple him as Shane's sitting pretty on 36 points.
20:22The main course let her down a little bit, so I'm going to score her an eight.
20:27Mikayla's dinner was absolutely spectacular.
