00:00A bit.
00:01Disgusting drinks.
00:02There was a bit of time now in there.
00:05So the first thing she did was, like, all right, just chucked her hand in there.
00:09Bad behaviour.
00:11They're on the wrong way.
00:13I think there was a bit of cheating going on on the other side.
00:16And a fussy female.
00:17The beef itself, I think, probably could have done with being in the oven a bit longer.
00:23As five rival stars battle it out for £1,000 for charity.
00:27AAAAAH!
00:53It's day two of our Celebrity Christmas cook-off.
00:57and the turn of 24-year-old quadruple Olympic medallist Rebecca Adlington.
01:02I absolutely love Christmas.
01:05I guess as an athlete, it was the only time that really I full-on got a chance to relax
01:10on Christmas Day,
01:10eat what I want and just be with my family, so it was always really nice.
01:14And even now, I still just love Christmas.
01:18Aw! Shame Love wasn't in the air when it came to ex-Crime Watch presenter Rev Wilding's attempt at Christmas
01:23dinner.
01:24Last night was good fun, tiring, trying to cook for all these people when I can't cook for myself.
01:29You're not the only one who noticed.
01:32The turkey's not especially hot, as in temperature.
01:34Super Scrimper's presenter Mrs Moneypenny certainly wasn't impressed.
01:38The turkey was cold and then the dessert wasn't cold enough, because it melted.
01:42Rev failed to rock his guests round the Christmas tree and scored a Scrooge-like 24 points.
01:48Christmas dinner is always meant to be eaten by hand, surely?
01:50I'm afraid I tackled mine with a knife and fork and left everybody else to eat with their fingers,
01:54because I could see I hadn't got a napkin.
01:56She's a bit more headteachery and you want to impress.
02:00And one pupil definitely heading for Mrs M's bad books is Emmerdale and Hollyoak's cheeky chappy Alex Carter.
02:08Mrs M's? She's really nice.
02:09Oh, Keith. I found out her real name's Keith.
02:12And I was like, no, Mrs M's really nice.
02:15But, er, I don't know.
02:18I don't know whether she's going to get better or worse as the week progresses.
02:21Alex is 31 going on 21.
02:24I mean, he loves a bit of fun and games.
02:26He's got a wicked sense of humour.
02:28I can see it might wear on people.
02:31Also not afraid to join in the mischief is star of stage and screen Jennifer Ellison.
02:36That's a bit rude on there.
02:38Rude on.
02:38I'm just really enjoying myself.
02:40I've got two children at home.
02:42This is like heaven on earth going to a dinner party every night.
02:47But tonight, Jen's expecting a distinct improvement from Rebecca.
02:51I think tonight is going to be upper level from last night.
02:56I didn't think Rav's Mexican was that Christmassy,
02:59so I really want to kind of go to town on the Christmas theme.
03:02My theme tonight is Winter Games, which I'm very excited about.
03:06Get everyone up, hopefully, and a bit more active
03:09than just kind of sat around at dinner.
03:12I think Rebecca's going to give it everything tonight.
03:14All or nothing.
03:15It could be sink or swim.
03:17Better stick to fighting crime, Rav.
03:20Well, she's suddenly jumping in at the deep end.
03:23Oh, dear, it's catching with her dessert.
03:25Curling Christmas bomb.
03:29Food?
03:30It is a cooking show.
03:32It'll be...
03:33Yes?
03:33Kind of an ice cream, and she'll probably make her own ice cream,
03:38erm, with probably gooey chocolate stuffing
03:41and then a hard chocolate shell that you have to crack into.
03:46Rebecca?
03:47It's kind of panettone-y with ice cream,
03:51a bit of dried fruit, some jam.
03:54I wonder whether that will be something she can prepare in advance.
03:58Nothing wrong with that, surely, Mrs M.
04:01She begins by pouring dessert wine over her panettone
04:04and half-filling with ice cream.
04:07I've got to put the jam in.
04:09Don't! Schoolgirl error!
04:11Rebecca continues by pressing in cherries, cranberries and clementines.
04:15It's looking quite Christmassy so far.
04:18Smells very Christmassy.
04:20She tops with more ice cream and panettone and leaves to set.
04:25I don't know how Rav's going to cope with the lactose.
04:29Well, he won't have to,
04:31as Rebecca's making milk-intolerant Rav an entirely different dessert.
04:35Curling Christmas cotter.
04:37That's panna cotta size, is it?
04:40I've never made it before, so I have no clue.
04:43I don't know what cotter is.
04:45I don't know if it's spelt wrong.
04:47No.
04:48Curling Christmas.
04:49I think it's going to be curled like a...
04:54..like an ice cream or something.
04:55Which you can't eat.
04:57She begins by adding soya milk to a saucepan
04:59along with a vanilla pod, lemon rind and sugar,
05:03and then bringing to the boil.
05:05I'm not a bad cook.
05:07I would say I'm a beginner cook,
05:09because now that I've retired,
05:10it's the first time I've actually experimented with food
05:13and tried just food that I actually like.
05:16Rebecca adds gelatin before straining the liquid
05:18and pouring into ramekins.
05:21On with the starter.
05:22Figure skating souffle.
05:24Nice.
05:25Is she a winter Olympian now?
05:27Erm, that sounds OK, doesn't it?
05:30It's a souffle, is that ya?
05:32Best of luck with that, bad boy.
05:34It's probably going to be like a cheese souffle, I'd imagine,
05:37or some sort of savoury souffle.
05:40Well, it is a starter.
05:43I'm not into souffles.
05:46But Rebecca has a trick up her cosy.
05:48I mean sleeve.
05:49The really good thing about this recipe
05:51is I can just cook it in advance
05:52and then just reheat later.
05:54I think it's brave to make a souffle for a starter,
05:57because if it goes wrong, there's no recovery.
05:59Starting the criticism early tonight, are we?
06:01Rebecca begins by frying mushrooms and bacon
06:04before adding flour and milk and bringing to the boil.
06:08That is nearly done.
06:10Grated cheese is added.
06:13Smells amazing.
06:14I just hope it tastes good too.
06:17That's the eggs done.
06:19Let's hope my guests have a cracking Christmas.
06:21Hello, someone's been to Rav's bad joke school.
06:25Once cooled, the eggs are added
06:27and the mixture baked until golden.
06:29The souffle does have lactose in,
06:32obviously with the butter,
06:33so I will be doing a separate starter for Rav.
06:37Figure skating stuffed mushrooms, no less.
06:40I don't know about the figure skating bit.
06:42Are they going to be on ice or something?
06:44No.
06:45It's called figure skating
06:46just because of the Winter Games theme.
06:49Yes, we'd actually got that.
06:50Rebecca begins by hollowing out mushrooms.
06:53I don't even know if you can have the oil.
06:55Throw it in.
06:56Sorry, Rav.
06:58Yeah, never mind, eh?
06:59She fries bacon and onion
07:01and cooks the mushrooms in lactose-free butter.
07:04A bit...
07:05No, I'm not a fan of that.
07:09She mixes together the ingredients for the topping.
07:13Oh, Pip.
07:14And then stuffs the mushrooms.
07:16I'm not holding back with the filling, though.
07:19He's a big guy.
07:21Needs filling.
07:22You better get on with your main course, then.
07:25Bobsleigh beef with dumplings.
07:29I love beef.
07:30That's a good start.
07:31But I have no idea about the bobsleigh bit.
07:35Unless she's going to come sliding down the table at me
07:37or something hundred miles an hour.
07:39That's the kind of thing I was expecting, sort of...
07:42adders to cook, really.
07:44Oh, it's adders now, is it?
07:46Stewie's quite warm and hearty, isn't it?
07:49So hopefully they'll enjoy it.
07:51For her stew, she fries beef in batches.
07:55This should stop me from crying when I'm chopping my onions.
07:59Hang on, haven't you retired?
08:01She fries the onions and garlic and adds to the beef.
08:04Pops in a tin of tomatoes and in it goes
08:06to slow cook for two hours.
08:08And if you fancy making any of Rebecca's recipes,
08:11visit the Channel 4 website,
08:12where you can save them into your own online scrapbook.
08:16I'm interested to see if she's made the dumplings herself.
08:19Most people of Rebecca's age have never come across suet.
08:22Because I've only ever had, like, suet dumplings.
08:24In your face, Mrs Manipenny!
08:27Never actually had just butter and flour dumplings,
08:30so they're actually quite a nice texture
08:31and they're a good replacement for potato.
08:34And if it's not that good, there's always salt and pepper, isn't there?
08:37Just throw a bit of that in.
08:38Yeah, right.
08:38All done.
08:39Hopefully they'll like it later, but I need to go get ready.
08:43I think it's on a par with mine in content.
08:46I think it will be much more difficult than mine to execute.
08:49Well, let's find out.
08:50I am now ready to rock and roll. Let the games begin.
08:54Did you get changed?
08:55First to arrive, it's super saver Mrs Manipenny.
09:01Hello!
09:02Oh, Becky, this looks lovely.
09:05Thank you very much.
09:06That matches your outfit, all red, red drinks.
09:08Thank you. That's the idea.
09:09What is the specification of what's in there?
09:11It is pomegranate juice that I've burned together with champagne.
09:15That's very exotic. I'll definitely be going for that.
09:18Next, here's Jen, going for the wintry theme as well.
09:23Hello!
09:24Hello.
09:25Nice to see you.
09:26Oh, you too.
09:27Loving the pink hat.
09:29I'm loving your house.
09:32Hello!
09:34Are you OK?
09:35Yes.
09:36Oh, it seems an age since I've seen you.
09:38I know.
09:38Would you like a drink?
09:40I would love a drink, please.
09:41Would you like the pink one?
09:43I'd love the pink one.
09:44And the pink one is...
09:45How did you know?
09:46With the hat, of course.
09:49Then it's Raph.
09:50Hey, thanks, Daisy.
09:52Hello.
09:53Good to see you.
09:55You look nice.
09:56That's for you.
09:57I feel bad.
09:58I didn't bring you anything last night.
09:59Is this a guilt trip?
10:00Another guilt trip?
10:01I do remember.
10:02You came up empty-handed.
10:03You can't worry about it.
10:05Madness, Raph.
10:05Hi.
10:06At least it's not just me.
10:08You OK?
10:08No, no.
10:09Good to see you.
10:09Nice hat.
10:10Get all your gloves on.
10:11Nice stuff.
10:12Looking radiant as ever.
10:14Oh, thank you.
10:15Would you like a drink?
10:17Yes, please.
10:19Oh, there's a bit of a toenail in there.
10:21It's a bit of tinsel, baby.
10:23What's got in there?
10:24As you just dig it out of your finger, it's fine.
10:26It's fine.
10:27So the first thing she did is, like, all right, just chucked her hand in there to try and fish
10:31it out.
10:32Lovely.
10:34And last to arrive, Joker Alex.
10:39Finally!
10:40Finally!
10:40Rock up!
10:41It was Raph's taco wreaking its revenge on me.
10:44Who found this show?
10:46Oh, hi!
10:48Would you like a drink?
10:49Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:50Definitely.
10:51It looks pink.
10:52It's not got any salt in it, has it?
10:53No.
10:54It's pot of bannet and champagne.
10:55Oh, look.
10:56I'm so sorry.
10:57Well, cheers, guys.
10:59Here's to a good night.
11:00Cheers!
11:00Cheers!
11:03Coming up.
11:06Shiny braises.
11:07No, I'm kidding.
11:09The only gold medal that I have ever seen was at the till, and it was chocolate.
11:15Strange tales.
11:16I'm so petrified of the sea, it's unbelievable.
11:19For her to say her scariest thing is swimming kind of shook me a little bit.
11:24And a scary story.
11:25I have been known to be so lost that I have flown down closer to the motorway so I can
11:29actually
11:30see the flies.
11:31What?
11:31No.
11:32You little ever pulled, Timba!
11:37It's celebrity special and gold medallist Rebecca Adlington is hosting a Winter Games
11:42evening in a bid to win £1,000 for charity.
11:47While Rebecca plates up the starter she cooked earlier, naughty school kids Jen and Alex sneak
11:53off.
11:55You are kidding.
11:56I've never seen one before.
11:57She's won four, hasn't she?
11:59Oh, my goodness.
11:59Look at that.
12:00You have the gold.
12:01You're heavy, aren't you?
12:02This is awarded to Jennifer Ellison for being the best scouser in 2013.
12:09I've got it.
12:10Gold.
12:11The only gold medal that I have ever seen in my life was at the till and it was chocolate.
12:21It's bonkers though, innit?
12:23Like the fact that you can be the best.
12:26At that moment you can be the best.
12:28You think I...
12:28I really think that is impressive.
12:30It's not one of those things in life where you think, oh, I'd love to, you know, I'm
12:34gonna have a gold medal round my neck one day.
12:36Obviously it's a bit better if you've earned it.
12:39Well, you'll just have to make do with a bit of glitter on your starter.
12:42Figure skating souffle with a stuffed mushroom for Rav.
12:45Is that stuff edible around the perimeter?
12:49Edible glitter.
12:50Golden.
12:50Yeah.
12:51You're rubbing it in about those medals again.
12:54There you go.
12:54That looks lovely.
12:55A bit hot.
12:56Thank you so much for going for all that effort.
12:58That's so sweet.
12:58You're more than welcome.
12:59You didn't have to do that at all.
13:00So my starter was like a mushroom.
13:03There was bacon in there.
13:05There was tomato.
13:05There was spices.
13:06Bit of balsamic glaze on there.
13:08It was absolutely gorgeous.
13:10It's only the second time I've made this and it's only the first time I've ever done stuffed
13:14mushroom.
13:14I'm so sorry.
13:15Really good.
13:16I like the souffle, but all it was missing was a couple of beans, a bit of black pudding
13:19and a hash brown.
13:21You're saying she's made scrambled eggs?
13:22I thought that the consistency was a bit variable.
13:27It was a dangerous move, but then again, at least I should get a point for trying.
13:31You didn't get Olympic medals for just trying.
13:34I'm like really bad at swimming.
13:36Yeah.
13:36What fitness-wise like?
13:37It hits my arms.
13:39What are you doing?
13:43I've not got much upper body strength at all.
13:46I can swim.
13:47I can stay afloat, but I just can't move.
13:49So you're saying you can float?
13:50There's a different type of fitness, isn't there?
13:54Underwater.
13:55You have to hold your breath, so your lung capacity.
13:58No, but when I'm doing breaststroke and stuff, I can go for days.
14:02I don't find a tire.
14:03I find swimming quite easy.
14:05I'm not very quick, but I can breaststroke all day.
14:09Hey, man, Alex, I can do the breaststroke and just don't get tired.
14:12Yeah.
14:13Oh, that's the breaststroke, isn't it?
14:15Yes, it is.
14:16Yeah.
14:16Good luck to you, Alex.
14:18I'd definitely have a swimming challenge with him.
14:21Let's take him down.
14:22Yeah, frankly, that's a bit of a mismatch, and she's even got a tattoo to prove it.
14:26Olympic rings.
14:28Have you?
14:28Bloody hell, you're always banging on about the ball.
14:31Oh, man, wasn't doing it, though.
14:32Have you?
14:33Where are they?
14:34On my lower back.
14:35Champs down.
14:36Champs down.
14:37How many Olympic rings are there?
14:40Have a wild guess.
14:41You're a big sports fan, are you?
14:43Seven.
14:44Better be five.
14:46Right, I'll take these away.
14:48Yeah, cheers.
14:48That was lovely.
14:49That was spot on.
14:50I really, really, really want to say that I really enjoyed it.
14:54But?
14:55I didn't.
14:56I don't like the yolk of an egg.
14:58I don't like cooked egg on their own.
15:01I don't like eggs in other things.
15:03So you mean like sandwiches?
15:05It would have been better for me if the texture was a little bit nicer.
15:09So it's not quite perfect or ten out of ten, but it was definitely average.
15:13Perhaps Rebecca's mane, which has been stewing in the oven for two hours,
15:16will go down more swimmingly.
15:19Jamaica, I've a bobsleigh team.
15:21It smells nice.
15:22That's a good sign.
15:24We'll see what it tastes like.
15:25Here it is, bobsleigh beef.
15:29Oh, my goodness.
15:30Go round this way.
15:31Is that the bobsleigh?
15:32Yes.
15:33Take to the hockey, baby.
15:34That's amazing.
15:35It is a lot of fish.
15:37It's winter.
15:38You're not sure, are you?
15:40It wasn't really a bobsleigh.
15:42It was more like, I don't know if they have them in the Winter Olympics, but a casserole dish.
15:48Give it a couple of years.
15:49The beef itself, I think probably could have done with being in the oven a bit longer.
15:54Here we go again.
15:56The gravy was absolutely delicious.
15:58And the dumplings really tasted great.
16:01Oh, I take that back.
16:02So when I read your mane and it said bobsleigh beef, I had visions of you just sliding something down
16:09the table.
16:11I was a bit gutted that I didn't come up with that myself.
16:14I'm not going to lie.
16:15What's the scariest thing you've ever done?
16:16Look, the first time that I left the ground in an aeroplane with nobody else in that aeroplane,
16:22the first time I flew solo, I suddenly thought, oh my goodness, I'm up here all by myself.
16:25Only me is going to be able to get me down.
16:28Oh my God.
16:28Have you ever got lost?
16:30I've been here.
16:31Have you?
16:32I have been known to be so lost that I have flown down closer to the motorway so I can
16:36actually see the signs.
16:38What?
16:38No.
16:39Yes.
16:39How did you find me?
16:41How did you find me?
16:41Have you ever driven down the M60s?
16:42You're in Liverpool, turn back.
16:49Oh my God, it's hate to have a soft top because Mrs. M might be in me car with me
16:53in a plane.
16:55I landed on the motorway by mistake for the first time.
16:59How did you get on it by mistake?
17:00Because I went down the slippers and I was like...
17:03All these cars flying at me and they were all like...
17:05And I was like...
17:07And I got on the steering wheel and everyone was like, help!
17:09Here is a woman who at the age of 21 was playing Roxy on stage in Chicago in London's West
17:17End and yet driving onto a motorway frightened her.
17:19With you in your plane I'd be worried too.
17:22Mrs. M has literally gone up in my scale of... like ability.
17:29I'm actually terrified of swimming in the sea. I just... I'm so petrified of the sea. It's unbelievable.
17:35You are joking.
17:36Yeah.
17:37She's the best swimmer we've ever had in this country.
17:41And for her to say her scariest thing is swimming kind of shook me a little bit.
17:47So come on then, your turn. What was your scariest moment?
17:50Going to Afghan I think was probably the scariest when I was there and bullets are literally coming into the
17:56camp.
17:58And yeah, it's horrible and obviously as we know it's very real and people are getting injured and killed out
18:02there all the time.
18:03Pointing arse to shame.
18:04Yeah.
18:06So we were all like, well, that kind of had a wee on our chips.
18:11Nice.
18:11It was like, oh God. We all felt really stupid then.
18:15I mean nothing competes with gunfire.
18:19Merry Christmas everyone!
18:21I think my mate went well.
18:22They got the bobsay thing as well and said how I presented it was quite cool, which was good.
18:27Rebecca's hoping her entertainment can lift the mood.
18:31Right guys, this is my entertainment.
18:35A bit of competitiveness hopefully.
18:37I will go girls against boys.
18:39Yeah!
18:41Because you guys are reindeer.
18:44Very nice.
18:46You just give them air, alright?
18:47Ladies.
18:49Oh!
18:50Yeah!
18:50Oh!
18:52What are you going to do?
18:53I was like, you're what?
18:55Now it matches your top.
18:58Right guys.
18:59Ready, steady, wind!
19:02Oh!
19:03Oh!
19:04Oh!
19:05Oh!
19:09Oh!
19:10Oh!
19:11Oh!
19:12Oh!
19:12Oh!
19:14Oh!
19:15Oh!
19:17Boys face it, the girls won.
19:20I thought that it was appropriate that the girls won that actually.
19:24Especially as we're in the home of a female winning athlete.
19:27Who's standing on the podium?
19:29Look at those!
19:30Girls!
19:31Girls!
19:35Well, I was a good navigator.
19:36Yes.
19:38Boys!
19:39No, I don't want it.
19:40Oh!
19:40Don't be a sore loser!
19:43I think there was a bit of cheating going along on the other side, but I'm not going
19:46to be a sore loser.
19:47Well, not too sore.
19:49Who cares if it was fair?
19:50We won.
19:53Back in the kitchen, Rebecca completes her dessert by melting dark chocolate and pouring it
19:58over the top.
19:58And here it is!
20:00Curling Christmas bomb!
20:02With a panna cotta for Rav.
20:05Oh, hello.
20:06Oh, lovely.
20:07Thank you very much.
20:08Wow!
20:09See ya!
20:10Not sure what this is yet.
20:12Oh!
20:13Oh!
20:13Wow!
20:14Wow!
20:15Gosh!
20:17Wow!
20:18Oh!
20:19Hiya!
20:20Yeah!
20:22How's yours, Rav?
20:25It's good!
20:27Can I taste that?
20:28Of course you can.
20:30I've never had...
20:30Of course you can have it!
20:32Have all of it!
20:34Take as much as you want!
20:36Oh, I don't like that.
20:38Enjoy!
20:40He was polite enough to eat it.
20:42How lovely of him to do that, but he did miss out on the Christmas bomb.
20:46Well, thank you, Bec.
20:47I'm just...
20:49Mmm!
20:49Taking the time to do...
20:50What was it called?
20:52Panna...
20:52What was it?
20:53Panna cotta!
20:55The good thing is Rav's eating something bland, and we're all constantly reminding him how bland it is whilst he's
21:00eating it.
21:01No, it's not bland, that's mean, but I am eyeing up that.
21:04So it is bland!
21:05Oh, here's to Becky.
21:06Yes.
21:07Thank you, Becky.
21:08Thank you, Becky.
21:09Cheers!
21:09Cheers!
21:11Taxes!
21:11The dessert was yummy, other than I'm not a big fan of dark chocolate, but I ate everything bad.
21:17I'm not normally a pudding guy, but it was one of the best puddings I've ever had.
21:22Blimey!
21:22Tonight, the food wasn't for me.
21:26It wasn't as nice as I expected, but the effort was outstanding, and that's what I'm all about.
21:33So I'm giving Rebecca a seven.
21:35I really enjoyed the food, I thought Rebecca was a great host, however, I do feel the boys were slightly
21:41robbed on the entertainment.
21:43So, for that reason, I'm giving her an eight.
21:47For the trying hard with the food, amazing dessert, and her warmth and generosity, I would score her a six.
21:54Ooh, that's a bit tight, Mrs Moneypenny.
21:56I thought the starter was okay, the main was better, and the pudding was Olympic gold.
22:02Giving her a seven.
22:04For silver, really, isn't it?
22:05Olympic silver.
22:07Bronze.
22:10All jokes aside, Rebecca's efforts paid off, and she's racked up an impressive 28 points, putting her in gold medal
22:16position.
22:20It's Mrs M, she's on the way home.
22:24Great dog!
22:25Next time, Cocky Cooks.
22:27Oh, my God, that's gorgeous.
22:29Ten!
22:30Dirty Dancing.
22:31I haven't had a 31-year-old to describe me for a very long time.
22:36And secrets shared.
22:37And then he went to me, babe, smell it.
22:40I thought it was really weird that, like, Bex was talking about that.
22:45I'm embarrassing as that.
22:46But it's amazing.
