00:01Ask each of them to host a festive dinner party.
00:04It's weird.
00:06Then get them to score each other in secret.
00:08A big, shiny, shimmering nine.
00:12Tonight, as drag superstar Courtney Act hosts...
00:16There's a frightful faux pas.
00:18Are you worrying about your menu now?
00:19That'll be telling, Dick, you know.
00:21Please, Dom. Dom.
00:23Don't mix up your Dom with your Dick.
00:25Oh, my God, it's an embarrassment.
00:27And a gassed-off guest.
00:29With toys.
00:31I love burping.
00:33Can I just say, I think there's more interesting things to talk about.
00:36Hear, hear.
00:37You don't burp in public.
00:38As they battle to win £1,000 for charity.
00:42This is Celebrity Christmas Come Dine With Me.
00:56It's only Ruddy Christmas,
00:58so buckle up for five nights of festive food
01:01with a heavy dusting of showbiz stardust.
01:04I do my hair...
01:06And first to host, all the way from Oz,
01:08is star of RuPaul's Drag Race, Courtney Act.
01:12A Christmas tree is like a drag queen.
01:15It's like a tree in drag.
01:16And so I just feel like I'm so perfectly fitted for Christmas.
01:20I am the human version of a Christmas tree.
01:23Well, you've got the baubles for it.
01:25Any concerns about your mystery celeb guests?
01:28I'm a bit worried when I answer the door that I'll be like,
01:34hi, are you...
01:35Oh, no, sorry.
01:36The pizza's for next door.
01:38Talking of food, she's planning a vegan menu.
01:41Good luck with that.
01:43I just want them to enjoy it and then get to the end
01:46and me be like,
01:47ha-ha!
01:48There was no animals in your dinner tonight.
01:50And I'm also a man.
01:51No!
01:54And to maintain the illusion,
01:56first job of the day is make-up.
01:58Well, it's shortening right now, technically,
02:00halfway between Shane and halfway between Courtney.
02:03And when I'm Courtney, it's fascinating
02:05because men just sort of go sort of like,
02:08ah, goo goo ga ga.
02:10Ah, goo goo ga ga.
02:12Sorry, where were we?
02:13The food!
02:13Right, what's the plan?
02:15I've decided to go for, like, a everything must be pink.
02:18Well, why not?
02:20First up, dessert.
02:21Pink lamingtons, that's an Aussie cake,
02:23and pink pavlova.
02:26What's lamingtons?
02:26It can't be lamb for dessert, can it?
02:29No!
02:32Say hello to reality star Charlotte Dawson.
02:35What are you all about, then?
02:37Glamour.
02:38Cos I am too glam to give a chuffing dam.
02:40Oh, I know the feeling.
02:42And you all may know me from being the legendary comedy legend
02:47Les Dawson's daughter.
02:49Ooh, I can see the resemblance.
02:51I am the Northern of North.
02:54I am the Northern soul of the Northern.
02:57The Northern.
02:57The North.
02:58You're Northern, then.
02:59My role in this, er, dining gang,
03:02as I say as we're a dining club,
03:04um, is to, er, bring a bit of elegance there.
03:07Well, thank goodness for that.
03:09Bringing some much needed poise and grace to proceedings
03:12is strictly finalist and showbiz royalty, Debbie McGee.
03:17The best thing about Christmas is that, you know, the festive spirit,
03:22getting all your decorations out, having, you know, a little drink
03:25while I'm wrapping presents.
03:26Dancing with a sinister snowman.
03:29So, do you want to win, then?
03:31Of course I want to win.
03:34Is there any money in it?
03:35Well, there is, but it's for charity, Debbie, not for you.
03:39C'est bon!
03:42Back in the kitchen, and looking like she's wandered out of a laundrette,
03:45Courtney whips up a pink cake mix.
03:48Drizzle of beetroot juice, just to...
03:50Oh!
03:51Oh, it's like Halloween.
03:53Once the cakes are baked, she dips them in chocolate and coconut.
03:56Lovely.
03:57Out come the meringues.
03:59Look at that!
04:00It's a pink pev.
04:01Pink's not very festive, is it?
04:03No, hold on.
04:04Nothing pink that's festive about pink.
04:06Oh, they've got everything.
04:07Oh, look.
04:08She came to our last dinner party.
04:09Next up, and competing as a duo, legends of kids TV, Dick and Dom.
04:15Pink.
04:15OK, Dick's let himself go.
04:17So, what are we going to do?
04:18How are we going to make it Dick and Dommy, the next five days?
04:21Dick and Dommy?
04:22Yeah, how are we going to make it...
04:23We're not on kids TV anymore.
04:25OK, Richard and Dominicky.
04:28What are we going to do to make it, you know, people have expectations of us?
04:32Why don't you stop moving your hands around so much?
04:33Now, now, you two.
04:34Have Lova.
04:37Sounds like...
04:38I don't know what it sounds like.
04:39I don't know what that sounds like, to be honest.
04:41It sounds like sexy times.
04:44Oh, yeah.
04:45Meringues and berries.
04:46Wait, what?
04:47Yo, I do deals but I never get twanged.
04:50Yes, people.
04:50Welcome to another episode of Take A Bell.
04:52Last of the party is Steve-O the Madman, presenter and viral sensation.
04:57I'm Steve-O the Madman.
04:58This is Craig Mitch.
05:00I've made up my own little name.
05:01I am a digital storyteller.
05:04What happens with that is I tell stories digitally.
05:07Oh, yeah?
05:08What kind of stories?
05:09I like big butts and I cannot lie.
05:12You other...
05:13OK, sorry I asked.
05:14I'm a fussy eater.
05:16I don't eat a lot.
05:17I'm very, very plain.
05:18I'm difficult to cook for.
05:20Lucky old Courtney.
05:22Maybe she can win you round with a main of mushroom wellington with pink mash.
05:27This is...
05:27This is...
05:28This is a terrible meal so far.
05:31Maybe she can't.
05:32Mushroom wellington.
05:33Hmm, not sure about that.
05:36To start, Courtney fries off some juicy mushrooms and it's on to the pastry.
05:41Liam Hemsworth and I were named Australia's sexiest vegans last year.
05:46Well, you'd make quite the couple.
05:47Now that he and Miley are no more.
05:50Well, that's what I'm saying.
05:51I love mushrooms.
05:53Jolly good.
05:54I love a beef wellington.
05:56So that's a little bit of the same thing but without the beef.
05:59This is terrible.
06:01This is a terrible, terrible first day meal.
06:04It's not that bad, Steve-o.
06:06In go the mushroom and the filling.
06:08They're sealed and she'll cook them up later.
06:11Time for the starter, beetroot salad.
06:13Just hope it's not too difficult to eat and you get bits of salad in your teeth.
06:18Oh, I know. I hate that.
06:19Nothing worse.
06:20That's great.
06:21I love beetroot.
06:22I love beetroot.
06:23Underrated vegetable.
06:24Everybody likes beetroot.
06:26Everybody.
06:27Straight away, I'm going to decline your starter.
06:30I'm declining it, mate.
06:32Oof.
06:33Brutal.
06:34Courtney slices beetroot, boils edamame beans and heats up some sunflower seeds.
06:39I'm just going to assemble it all later because I don't want it to go too soggy.
06:42Prep done, I guess.
06:43Consider Courtney's dress code.
06:45Hink and festive, darlings.
06:48Oh, I've got the perfect outfit.
06:51If you wouldn't mind clearing out, then I can slip into something a little less comfortable.
06:55And a bit more glam, I hope.
06:57If I had to take a guess on the nationality of the person doing this, I'm going to say...
07:03Yes?
07:06Kazakhstan.
07:07Why?
07:08I also got a friend from Kazakhstan and he loves beetroot.
07:10Well, that makes sense.
07:13Ah!
07:14What do you think?
07:15Mrs. Claus scrubs off alright, doesn't she?
07:18Well, it definitely beats the laundrette, look.
07:22Bashed out of the lift.
07:23It's only Steve-O.
07:25What the hell?
07:29Hello!
07:31Hi!
07:31Yes!
07:32How are you?
07:32Hello, how are you doing?
07:33Good, I'm Courtney.
07:33I'm Steve-O.
07:34Nice to meet you.
07:35Oh, thank you.
07:36How are you?
07:37Steady.
07:38Nice crib, Courts.
07:40Welcome to my humble avode.
07:41I've made some eggnog.
07:43Are you a Christmassy person?
07:44Yeah, I reckon.
07:45Yeah, I like Christmas.
07:46You know Steve-O's work, Courtney.
07:47Look, I'm from Australia.
07:49I didn't grow up here.
07:51I only moved to your fair country last year.
07:54Yes, I may be a part of the great British Commonwealth.
07:57You don't know him, do you?
07:59I wasn't very familiar with him, but he's very lovely.
08:02Kylie.
08:02Kylie does Christmas well.
08:03Is it?
08:04Oh, you're Australia.
08:05Yeah.
08:06She does like a big...
08:07I've been to see her at the Royal Albert Hall.
08:09I reckon she's like five foot two.
08:11Five foot two?
08:12Yeah.
08:12Wow.
08:13She'd be good in the old Hobbit.
08:15Hobbit.
08:15Oh, wow.
08:16Now you're pulling a national treasure, a Hobbit.
08:19I love her.
08:20A Hobbit!
08:22I mean, I haven't seen Lord of the Rings, but it don't sound like a compliment, Steve-O.
08:26Next in Charlotte.
08:29Oh, God.
08:30Oh, God.
08:31Oh, no.
08:32Floor three.
08:33Oh, no.
08:34Three.
08:35Sorry.
08:36Stand by, everyone.
08:37I did love you on Big Brother, by the way.
08:40Cheers.
08:41Any joy, Charlotte?
08:44Oh, my God.
08:47Oh, my God.
08:48I feel like this matches my outfit.
08:50Well, not really.
08:53Hello.
08:54Hi.
08:57Hi.
08:58I'm not even joking.
08:59I've always wanted to meet her.
09:01I adored her on RuPaul's Drag Race.
09:04I'm proper fangirling.
09:06Like, I'm actually getting sweaty thinking about fangirling.
09:09Do you know her, Courtney?
09:11No.
09:12Nice to meet you.
09:13I'm Charlotte.
09:14I'm Steve-O.
09:15Nice to meet you.
09:16Yeah.
09:16You look very festive.
09:18This is vegan eggnog.
09:19Excuse me one moment.
09:21Oh, is someone here?
09:21Yeah.
09:22That's usually what a doorknog means.
09:25It's minging.
09:26I've just drunk a whole load.
09:28I don't even like it.
09:29Oh.
09:30What?
09:30Oh!
09:33Whoops.
09:34Rumbled.
09:34I didn't actually hear what you said.
09:36But I'm sure that it was insulting.
09:38I was just lying.
09:39Oh, that's a magnificent flounce.
09:41Merry Christmas!
09:44Hello.
09:45Hi, God.
09:45Surely you know this legend.
09:48I am not familiar with who Debbie is.
09:50Oh, for heaven's sake.
09:52Hello.
09:53Debbie.
09:53Nice to see you.
09:55I'm Steve-O.
09:55I think you've done well with the pink as well.
09:58Debbie McGee.
10:00Debbie Chuffin McGee walks in.
10:02Look at that.
10:03He's in there.
10:04No lemons.
10:05No.
10:06No, no, no.
10:08Next test of Courtney's celeb knowledge is Dick and Dom.
10:11Oh!
10:12How are you?
10:13How are you?
10:15How are you?
10:17How are you?
10:17She knows them!
10:18When Anne Dec arrived, I was just like,
10:20Oh my God!
10:21I love you guys!
10:22She doesn't know them.
10:23Oh!
10:25Oh!
10:25Hey!
10:26How are you doing?
10:27Hi, Dick!
10:28I mean, Dick and Dom in the bungalow.
10:31In da bungalow.
10:32How's she out there?
10:33How are you, mate?
10:34My two little girls grew up watching Dick and Dom.
10:38I wish to think it was bad that the name was Dick.
10:40Happy Christmas, everyone!
10:41Yeah!
10:44Coming up, celebrity crushes.
10:46Every child growing up wanted Deb.
10:49I had the hots for you, Deb.
10:51Oh, thank you.
10:51And you're gorgeous now.
10:52Oh, thank you.
10:53I don't know.
10:54I've got a thing about older women.
10:56And minging mash.
10:58I lost a fingernail while doing the mash, and so if you find the fingernail in the mash, you get
11:02a special surprise.
11:07Merry Christmas!
11:08Yay!
11:09It's night one of our Christmas celebrity special, and drag superstar Courtney Act is hoping to bag a grand for
11:15charity, with a night of pink food and vegan eggnog.
11:19Which could have been a mistake by the look of it.
11:21The mood is good.
11:23It's friendly and it's warm.
11:25I think this is going to be a Christmas to remember.
11:27And nothing says Christmas like beetroot salad.
11:30Ooh!
11:31Ooh!
11:31Ooh!
11:32Ooh!
11:34I'll have what she's having.
11:35In goes some avocado and dressing.
11:38Now time to give the salad a light toss.
11:41Oh, done like a pro.
11:43I've never tossed a salad before.
11:45Oh, you've never lived.
11:46There it is.
11:47Beetroot salad.
11:49Ooh, it looks very nice.
11:50I like the pansy.
11:52What did you call me?
11:53Oh, the flowers.
11:54Sorry.
11:55Mine looks like it's on its way out.
11:57I've seen better days, hasn't it?
11:58It's like me on a Sunday.
12:00This is like a skinny salad, isn't it?
12:02It's very skinny.
12:03You know, it's Christmas.
12:04We're going to be eating a lot.
12:05Start with a little salad.
12:06Also, in Australia, it's summertime.
12:09No.
12:10Steve-O's not sure.
12:11I ate it all.
12:11Lovely.
12:13I can never remember the name of those little green beans,
12:15but they were lovely.
12:17Everybody seemed to enjoy it.
12:18Did they, though?
12:19What's going on, Steve?
12:20Why are you not eating?
12:23I don't eat salad in that, man.
12:25Yeah.
12:26Yeah.
12:27There was, like, leafs.
12:28The leafs that you would walk through the park and see,
12:31that was on my plate.
12:32Lot of spinach fields in your local park, are there?
12:35I tried the other...
12:36I tried the beetroot.
12:37It's a lot to try.
12:38Oh, God.
12:42Tastes like, um...
12:45Chicken.
12:46Not quite.
12:47Not quite.
12:49What even was that?
12:50Are you worrying about your menu now?
12:52I mean, that would be telling Dick, you know.
12:55He's Dom.
12:55Dom!
12:57Dom!
12:57Well, 50-50, I mean, come on.
12:59Oh, my God, don't!
13:00And I've not seen you since I was 12, so I'm not...
13:04Call us both Dick.
13:05Let's call us all out.
13:06It's easier.
13:07I can't believe I got Dick and Dom's name wrong, like...
13:11Like, my childhood favourites, and I got the names wrong.
13:14You don't mix up your Dom with your dick,
13:16because then you'll get in trouble.
13:17It gets us angry.
13:18Mm.
13:18Oh, my God, I'm so embarrassed.
13:23Most kids these days don't even realise why I'm called Dick.
13:26They don't understand that it's short for Richard.
13:27They just think I call myself Dick.
13:29Stum, stum, Dom.
13:30Charlotte is a good night out.
13:32If I had a Charlotte, I'd tell you what,
13:35I'd be splashed across the Daily Mail,
13:36flashed from my knickers, stumbling out of cars.
13:39Me and Charlotte just talking to a shoe.
13:43I'm like...
13:45Charlotte, it's for you.
13:47Right.
13:48Salad sort of finished.
13:50Our celebs are getting to know more about each other.
13:52In the UK, I'm most known for winning Celebrity Big Brother last year,
13:56but I was on a TV show called RuPaul's Drag Race.
13:58Yeah, which we all know about now.
14:00You all know about, okay.
14:01I did Dancing with the Stars Strictly in Australia.
14:04I trained as a dancer.
14:06I worked with my late husband doing a magic act.
14:09Every child at Christmas got a Paul Daniels magic set.
14:13Right.
14:13It was massive.
14:14It was massive, wasn't it?
14:15I was supposed to say every child growing up wanted...
14:17Deb's.
14:18I had the hots for you, Deb.
14:21Oh, thank you.
14:22And you're gorgeous now, still.
14:22Oh, thank you.
14:23I'm married now though.
14:24Yeah.
14:25That was really lovely that Steve said he had a crush on me when he was young.
14:29So, how nice is that?
14:31Trust me, I don't know.
14:32I've got a thing about older women.
14:34Okay.
14:35On with the bean.
14:36Get mashing, Courtney.
14:37Do I look like somebody who should be mashing their own potatoes?
14:41Yes, you do.
14:42Oh, not more beetroot.
14:45Oh, God.
14:46I was driving to Cheltenham last week.
14:48And this reminds me of one of the foxes I saw on the side of the road.
14:51Oh!
14:52Must have taken a direct hit.
14:54Who said pink wasn't a good idea?
14:56I don't know, but they were right.
14:58Ugh.
14:59Out come her Wellingtons.
15:00Bottoms are not soggy.
15:02I think a soggy bottom's the least of your worries.
15:04Christmas!
15:06Yay!
15:07Here it is.
15:08Mushroom Wellington with pink mash and mushroom gravy.
15:11Merry Christmas, folks.
15:13Oh, Wallop.
15:14Oh, how lovely.
15:15Now, I'm going to go straight in for the mash here.
15:18So what's giving it-
15:19Oh, it tastes like glue.
15:19Why does it do that?
15:20It doesn't fall off the floor.
15:22I've never seen mash that's shiny like this before.
15:25I lost a fingernail while doing the mash, and so if you find the fingernail in the mash,
15:29you get a special surprise.
15:30Oh, it's going to be mine.
15:31I'm kidding.
15:32I've still got all ten.
15:33Oh, wow.
15:34It's rude.
15:35Pink mash.
15:37What was she thinking?
15:38Courtney worked so hard, but, you know, she needs a bit of practice with that.
15:42Your other speed?
15:43Are you struggling?
15:44Oh, here we go again.
15:47I'm a very acquired taste buds.
15:51It's hard to cook for me because I don't like anything.
15:55The perfect dinner guest.
15:57Sherry, the perfect.
15:59It's almost as the plate hit him in front of me, he looked into it, and I'm like, I'm
16:03not going to eat any of this.
16:05Not even going to try it?
16:06No?
16:06Tonight, he's had nothing.
16:08He must be starving.
16:09I'm a bit concerned that Steve might have lost a few pounds throughout the course of the
16:14evening.
16:14Er, he is looking a lot thinner.
16:17The stall's still there, just a bit of pastry's gone.
16:19The pastry's amazing, by the way, of course.
16:23He'd almost skinned that Wellington, hadn't he?
16:25He'd taken the lid off it, and all the innards were just left.
16:37Oh, hang on, he's taken a crumb.
16:39He's taken a crumb.
16:47Right, how about some sophistication?
16:49I love burping.
16:52Do you feel...
16:53It's funny if I said that, because I've had a real argument with my missus.
16:57She doesn't fart in front of me.
16:59Oh, God, my boyfriend.
17:01But I feel like that's like...
17:02She don't...
17:03Wee!
17:05That's all right.
17:05Better out than in.
17:06But I feel like she don't love me.
17:08She ain't comfortable enough.
17:11Maybe she just sees that keeping a little element of mystery keeps the passion and the
17:16spark alive.
17:17You know what happens?
17:18We'll be watching a film, and she'll have all this gas built up inside her.
17:22Instead of letting it out, she'll keep it in, because she wants to keep the mystery.
17:25But I hear her belly rumbling.
17:27Yeah.
17:28Got any gas stories, Debbie?
17:30No?
17:31My boyfriend said that if I ever farted in front of him, we'd have to break up with me now.
17:34Oh, God, the fireworks are going everywhere.
17:39Sorry to bring that up.
17:40Sorry to bring that up during eating, by the way.
17:42Sorry.
17:43Sorry, Debs.
17:44I'm older than all of you, and when I was brought up, you just wouldn't have talked about it.
17:48It's true.
17:49It's true.
17:49Can I just say, I think there's more interesting things to talk about.
17:52Here, here.
17:53Than that.
17:54Yes.
17:54Let's change the subject.
17:56But I felt a little bit uncomfortable for Debbie, who didn't want to join.
18:00Well, she kind of took her time to make her...
18:01She stopped it eventually, didn't she?
18:03Yeah, she made no bones about that, didn't she?
18:05I think without Debbie here, it would be a race to the bottom.
18:09I've just been brought up that you don't talk about, and you don't burp in public.
18:14And if you do, you say pardon.
18:16Well, quite, Debra.
18:18How about a game of Never Have I Ever?
18:20Hats at the reddit.
18:22Never have I ever done drag.
18:24So I have.
18:26Because I used to wear wigs and wore a dress.
18:29Oh, yeah, nothing else you care to mention, Steve-O.
18:31Nothing on Snapchat.
18:36Oh, that's lovely footwork.
18:39Sorry, everyone.
18:39Back to the table.
18:40Never have I ever.
18:41Yeah.
18:42Gone to do a bottom burp.
18:45And followed through.
18:47What?
18:48Nice.
18:49Yes, my G!
18:50Isn't it?
18:51I was on a date with my boyfriend.
18:53And I was like...
18:55So anyway, I'll just sort of like...
18:56I don't know when I'll notice.
18:58Oh, God.
18:59Oh.
19:00Oh, I think that fart picked up hitchhikers.
19:03Just smile and nod, Debbie.
19:05It's like, I'm just going to be back in a moment.
19:07And I knew exactly what to do.
19:08Because my friend had done it and talked me through the process.
19:13What did you do?
19:14You've just got to take off your underwear and throw them away.
19:16Not like that.
19:17I think your pink mash is going to hitchhike its way out of Debbie's mouth.
19:19I really don't see anything nice talking about following it through.
19:26I think what it conjures up in one's imagination isn't nice.
19:31You know, I prefer to think of somebody making love or doing something nice.
19:36Oh, Debbie McGee!
19:38To get her guests back in the festive spirit, Courtney's got a little sing-song planned.
19:42All I want for Christmas is...
19:51That pitch when she goes right down.
19:53She goes...
19:55And I don't care.
19:58Aren't there meant to be lyrics here?
20:01I've cooked.
20:02I've entertained.
20:03You can do the singing.
20:05Would have been even better if we knew the words.
20:08It would have been super, super better if she knew the words.
20:10Seeing it was her performance.
20:11You know?
20:12All I want for Christmas...

20:55So the pavlova is the meringue.

20:58That bit.
20:59And then the other thing is called a lamington which is that other national dessert.
