00:00Ask each of them to host a festive dinner party.
00:03It's weird!
00:05Then get them to score each other in secret.
00:07A big, shiny, shimmering nine.
00:11Tonight, as drag superstar Courtney Act hosts...
00:15There's a frightful faux pas.
00:17Are you worrying about your menu now?
00:18That'll be telling, Dick, you know.
00:20Please, Dom.
00:22Don't mix up your Dom with your Dick.
00:24Oh, my God, I'm so embarrassed.
00:26And a gassed-off guest.
00:28With toys.
00:30I love burping.
00:32Can I just say, I think there's more interesting things to talk about.
00:35Here, here.
00:35You don't burp in public.
00:37As they battle to win £1,000 for charity.
00:41This is Celebrity Christmas Come Dine With Me.
00:45Ooh! Ooh!
00:55It's only Ruddy Christmas,
00:57so buckle up for five nights of festive food
01:00with a heavy dusting of showbiz stardust.
01:03I do my hair...
01:05And first to host, all the way from Oz,
01:07is star of RuPaul's Drag Race, Courtney Act.
01:11A Christmas tree is like a drag queen.
01:14It's like a tree in drag.
01:15And so I just feel like I'm so perfectly fitted for Christmas.
01:19I am the human version of a Christmas tree.
01:22Well, 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
01:30that I'll be like,
01:33hi, are you...
01:34Oh, no, sorry, the pizza's for next door.
01:37Talking of food, she's planning a vegan menu.
01:40Good luck with that.
01:42I just want them to enjoy it
01:43and then get to the end
01:45and me be like,
01:46ha-ha!
01:47There was no animals in your dinner tonight!
01:49And I'm also a man.
01:50No!
01:53And to maintain the illusion,
01:55first job of the day is make-up.
01:57Well, it's shortening right now, technically,
01:59halfway between Shane and halfway between Courtney.
02:02And when I'm Courtney,
02:03it's fascinating because men just sort of go sort of like,
02:07ah, goo-goo-ga-ga.
02:09Ah, goo-goo-ga-ga.
02:11Sorry, where were we?
02:12The food!
02:12Right, what's the plan?
02:14I've decided to go for, like,
02:15everything must be pink.
02:17Well, why not?
02:19First up, dessert.
02:20Pink lamingtons, that's an Aussie cake,
02:22and pink pavlova.
02:24What's lamingtons?
02:26It can't be lamb for dessert, can it?
02:28No!
02:31Say hello to reality star Charlotte Dawson.
02:34What are you all about, then?
02:36Glamour.
02:37Cos I am too glam to give a chuffing down.
02:39Oh, I know the feeling.
02:41And you all may know me from being
02:43the legendary comedy legend
02:46Les Dawson's daughter.
02:48Ooh, I can see the resemblance.
02:50I am the Northern of North.
02:53I am the Northern soul of the Northern.
02:56The North.
02:56The North.
02:57You're Northern, then.
02:58My role in this, uh, dining gang,
03:01I suppose we're a dining club,
03:03um, is to, um, bring a bit of elegance there.
03:07Well, thank goodness for that.
03:08Bringing some much-needed poise and grace to proceedings
03:11is strictly finalist and showbiz royalty,
03:14Debbie McGee.
03:15Ooh!
03:16The best thing about Christmas is that, you know, the festive spirit, getting all your decorations
03:22out, having, you know, a little drink while I'm wrapping presents.
03:25Dancing with a sinister snowman.
03:28So, do you want to win, then?
03:30Of course I want to win.
03:33Is there any money in it?
03:34Well, there is, but it's for charity, Debbie, not for you.
03:57I don't know.
04:04I don't know.
04:05I don't know.
04:06I don't know.
04:07She came to our last dinner party.
04:08Next up, and competing as a duo, legends of kids TV, Dick and Dom.
04:14Okay, Dick's let himself go.
04:16So, what are we going to do?
04:17How are we going to make it Dick and Dommy in the next five days?
04:20Dick and Dommy?
04:21Yeah, how are we going to make it?
04:22We're not on kids TV anymore.
04:24Thank you, Dick.
04:24Okay, Richard, I'm going to keep it.
04:27What are we going to do to make it, you know, people have expectations of us?
04:31Why don't you stop moving your hands around so much?
04:32Now, now, you two.
04:34Have lova.
04:36Sounds like, I don't know what it sounds like.
04:38I don't know what that sounds like, to be honest.
04:40It sounds like sexy times.
04:43Oh, yeah.
04:44Meringues and berries.
04:45Wait, what?
04:48Yes, people.
04:49Welcome to another episode of Take A Bell.
04:51Last to the party is Steve-O the Madman, presenter and viral sensation.
04:56I'm Steve-O the Madman.
04:57This is Craig Mitch.
04:59I've made up my own little name.
05:00I am a digital storyteller.
05:03What happens with that is I tell stories digitally.
05:06Oh, yeah?
05:07What kind of stories?
05:08I like big butts and I cannot lie.
05:11You other...
05:12Okay, sorry I asked.
05:14I'm a fussy eater.
05:15I don't eat a lot.
05:16I'm very, very plain.
05:17I'm difficult to cook for.
05:19Lucky old Courtney.
05:21Maybe she can win you round with a main of Mushroom Wellington with Pink Mash.
05:26This is...
05:27This is a terrible meal so far.
05:30Maybe she can't.
05:31Mushroom Wellington.
05:32Hmm, not sure about that.
05:35To start, Courtney fries off some juicy mushrooms and it's on to the pastry.
05:40Liam Hemsworth and I were named Australia's sexiest vegans last year.
05:45Well, you'd make quite the couple.
05:46Oh, now that he and Miley are no more.
05:49Well, that's what I'm saying.
05:50I love mushrooms.
05:52Jolly good.
05:53I love a beef Wellington.
05:54So that's a little bit of the same thing, but without the beef.
05:58This is terrible.
06:00This is a terrible, terrible first day meal.
06:03It's not that bad, Steve-o.
06:05In go the mushroom and the filling.
06:07They're sealed and she'll cook them up later.
06:09Time for the starter, beetroot salad.
06:12Just hope it's not too difficult to eat and you get little bits of salad in your teeth.
06:17Oh, I know.
06:18I hate that.
06:18Nothing worse.
06:19That's great.
06:20I love beetroot.
06:21I love beetroot.
06:22Underrated vegetable.
06:23Everybody likes beetroot.
06:25Everybody.
06:26Straight away, I'm going to decline your starter.
06:29I'm declining it, mate.
06:31Oof, brutal.
06:33Courtney slices beetroot, boils edamame beans and heats up some sunflower seeds.
06:38You know, I'm just going to assemble it all later because I don't want it to go too soggy.
06:41Prep done, I guess.
06:42Consider Courtney's dress code.
06:44Pink and festive, darlings.
06:47Oh, I've got the perfect outfit.
06:50If you wouldn't mind clearing out, then I can slip into something a little less comfortable.
06:54And a bit more glam, I hope.
06:56If I had to take a guess on the nationality of the person doing this, I'm going to say...
07:02Yes?
07:05Kazakhstan.
07:06Why?
07:06I've still got a friend from Kazakhstan and he loves beetroot.
07:09Well, that makes sense.
07:12Ah, what do you think?
07:14Mrs. Claus scrubs off all right, doesn't she?
07:17Well, it definitely beats the laundrette, look.
07:21Burst out of the lift.
07:22It's only Steve-O.
07:25What the hell?
07:28Hello.
07:30Hi.
07:30Yes.
07:31How are you?
07:31How are you doing?
07:32Good, I'm Courtney.
07:33Nice to meet you.
07:33Oh, thank you.
07:35I'll go up.
07:35You all right?
07:36Steady.
07:36Oh, nice crib, courts.
07:39Welcome to my humble avode.
07:40I've made some eggnog.
07:42Are you a Christmassy person?
07:43Yeah, I reckon.
07:44Yeah, I like Christmas.
07:45You know Steve-O's work, Courtney?
07:46Look, I'm from Australia.
07:49I didn't grow up here.
07:50I only moved to your fair country last year.
07:53Yes, I may be a part of the great British Commonwealth.
07:56You don't know him, do you?
07:58I wasn't very familiar with him, but he's very lovely.
08:01Kylie does Christmas well.
08:02Is it?
08:03Oh, you're Australian.
08:04Yeah.
08:05She does like a big...
08:06I've been to see her at the Royal Albert Hall.
08:08I reckon she's like five foot two.
08:10Five foot two?
08:11Yeah.
08:11Wow.
08:12She'd be good in the old Hobbit, Hobbit, Hobbit, Hobbit film.
08:15Now you're calling our national treasurer a Hobbit.
08:18I love her.
08:19A Hobbit!
08:21I mean, I haven't seen Lord of the Rings,
08:23but it don't sound like a compliment, Steve-O.
08:25Next in, Charlotte.
08:28Oh, God.
08:30Oh, no.
08:31Floor three.
08:32Oh, no.
08:33Three.
08:34Sorry.
08:35Oh, stand by, everyone.
08:36I did love you on Big Brother, by the way.
08:39It's amazing.
08:39Cheers.
08:40Any joy, Charlotte?
08:42Oh, my God!
08:46Oh, my God.
08:47I feel like this matches my outfit.
08:48Oh, not really.
08:52Hello!
08:55Hi!
08:56Hi!
08:57I'm not even joking.
08:58I've always wanted to meet her.
09:00I adored her on RuPaul's Drag Race.
09:03I'm proper fangirling.
09:05Like, I'm actually getting sweaty thinking about fangirling.
09:08Do you know her, Courtney?
09:11No.
09:11Nice to meet you.
09:12I'm Charlotte.
09:13I'm Steve-O.
09:14Nice to meet you.
09:15Yeah.
09:15You look very festive.
09:17Um, this is vegan eggnog.
09:18Excuse me one moment.
09:20Oh, is someone here?
09:21That's usually what a doorknog means.
09:24It's minging.
09:25I've just drunk a whole load.
09:27I don't even like it.
09:28Oh.
09:29What?
09:29Oh!
09:32Whoops!
09:33Rumbled!
09:33I didn't actually hear what you said, but I'm sure that it was insulting.
09:37I was just lying.
09:38Oh, that's a magnificent flounce.
09:41Merry Christmas!
09:41Hello!
09:43Hello!
09:44How are you going?
09:45Surely you know this legend?
09:47I am not familiar with who Debbie is.
09:49Oh, for heaven's sake!
09:51Hello!
09:52Hi, Debbie.
09:52Nice to see you.
09:54I'm Steve-O.
09:54I think you've done well with the pink as well.
09:57Debbie McGee.
09:59Debbie Chuffin McGee walks in.
10:01Look at that!
10:02Yeah?
10:03He's in there.
10:03No lemons.
10:04No!
10:05No, no, no!
10:06Oh, it's jumpers now.
10:07Next test of Courtney's celeb knowledge is Dick and Dom.
10:11Hi!
10:12How are you?
10:13Oh, hi.
10:15How are you?
10:16She knows them.
10:17When Anne Dec arrived, I was just like, oh, my God, I love you guys.
10:21She doesn't know them.
10:22Oh, hey!
10:25How are you doing?
10:26I mean, Dick and Dom in the bungalow, in da bungalow.
10:31How's she out there?
10:32How are you, mate?
10:33My two little girls grew up watching Dick and Dom.
10:36I wish to think it was bad that the name was Dick.
10:39Happy Christmas, everyone!
10:43Coming up, celebrity crushes.
10:45Every child growing up wanted Deb.
10:48I had the hots for you, Deb.
10:50Oh, thank you.
10:51And you're gorgeous now.
10:51Oh, thank you.
10:52I don't know.
10:53I've got a thing about older women.
10:55And binging mash.
10:57I lost a fingernail while doing the mash.
10:59And so if you find the fingernail in the mash, you get a special surprise.
11:08It's night one of our Christmas celebrity special.
11:11And drag superstar Courtney Act is hoping to bag a grand for charity with a night of pink
11:15food and vegan eggnog.
11:18Which could have been a mistake by the look of it.
11:21The mood is good.
11:22It's friendly and it's warm.
11:24I think this is going to be a Christmas to remember.
11:25And nothing says Christmas like beetroot salad.
11:33I'll have what she's having.
11:34In goes some avocado and dressing.
11:37Now time to give the salad a light toss.
11:40Oh, done like a pro.
11:42I've never tossed a salad before.
11:44Oh, you've never lived.
11:45There it is.
11:46Beetroot salad.
11:48Oh, it looks very nice.
11:49I like the pansy.
11:51What did you call me?
11:52Oh, the flower.
11:53Sorry.
11:54Mine looks like it's on its way out.
11:56It's in better days, isn't it?
11:57It's like me on a Sunday.
11:59This is like a skinny salad, isn't it?
12:01It's very skinny.
12:02You know, it's Christmas.
12:03We're going to be eating a lot.
12:04Start with a little salad.
12:05Also, in Australia, it's summertime.
12:08No, Steve-O's not sure.
12:10I ate it all.
12:10Lovely.
12:12I can never remember the name of those little green beans, but they were lovely.
12:16Everybody seemed to enjoy it.
12:17Did they, though?
12:18What's going on, Steve?
12:19What are you doing?
12:22I don't...
12:23Eat salad in that, man.
12:24Right, yeah.
12:25There was, like, leafs.
12:27The leafs that you would walk through the park and see, that was on my plate.
12:31A lot of spinach fields in your local park, are there?
12:34I tried the other...
12:34Beetroot.
12:35Beetroot's really nice.
12:35Try the beetroot.
12:36It's a lot to try.
12:37Oh, God.
12:41Tastes like, um...
12:44Chicken.
12:45Not quite.
12:46Not quite.
12:48What even was that?
12:49Are you worrying about your menu now?
12:51I mean, that'd be telling Dick, you know.
12:54He's Dom.
12:54Dom.
12:56Dom!
12:56Oh, 50-50.
12:57Oh, my God, Jones.
12:59I've not seen you since I was 12.
13:01I'm not...
13:03Call us both Dick.
13:04Let's call us all out.
13:05It's easier.
13:05I can't believe I got Dick and Dom's name wrong, like...
13:10Like, my childhood favourites, and I got the names wrong.
13:13You don't mix up your Dom with your Dick, because then you'll get in trouble.
13:16It gets us angry.
13:17Mm.
13:17Oh, my God, I'm so embarrassed.
13:20Oh.
13:22Most kids these days don't even realise why I'm called Dick.
13:25They don't understand that it's short for Richard.
13:26They just think I call myself Dick.
13:28Stum, stum, Dom.
13:29Charlotte is a good night out.
13:31If I had a Charlotte, I'd tell you what,
13:33I'd be splashed across the Daily Mail,
13:35flash of my knickers, stumbling out of cars.
13:38Me and Charlotte just talking to a shoe.
13:42I'm like...
13:44Charlotte, it's for you.
13:46Right.
13:48Salad's sort of finished.
13:49Our celebs are getting to know more about each other.
13:51In the UK, I'm most known for winning Celebrity Big Brother last year.
13:55But I was on a TV show called RuPaul's Drag Race.
13:57Yeah, which we all know about now.
13:59You all know about, okay.
14:00I did Dancing with the Stars Strictly in Australia.
14:03I trained as a dancer.
14:05I worked with my late husband doing a magic act.
14:08Every child at Christmas got a Paul Daniels magic set.
14:12It was massive, wasn't it?
14:14I was going to say every child growing up wanted...
14:16...Debs.
14:17I had the hots for you, Deb.
14:20Oh, thank you.
14:21And you're gorgeous now.
14:21Still.
14:21Oh, thank you.
14:22I'm married now, though.
14:23Yeah.
14:24Yeah.
14:24That was really lovely that Steve said he had a crush on me when he was young.
14:28So, um, how nice is that?
14:30Trust me, I don't know.
14:31I've got a thing about older women.
14:33Okay.
14:34On with the bane.
14:35Get mashing, Courtney.
14:36Do I look like somebody who should be mashing their own potatoes?
14:40Yes, you do.
14:41Oh, not more beetroot.
14:44Oh, God.
14:45I was driving to Cheltenham last week, and this reminds me of one of the foxes I saw on
14:49the side of the road.
14:50Oh!
14:51Must have taken a direct hit.
14:53Who said pink wasn't a good idea?
14:55I don't know, but they were right.
14:57Ugh!
14:58Out come her Wellingtons.
14:59The bottoms are not soggy.
15:01I think a soggy bottom's the least of your worries.
15:03Christmas!
15:05Yay!
15:06Here it is, Mushroom Wellington with pink mash and mushroom gravy.
15:10Merry Christmas, folks.
15:12Ooh!
15:13Oh, Wallop.
15:13Oh!
15:14How lovely.
15:15I'm going to go straight in for the mash here.
15:17So what's giving it...
15:18Oh, it tastes like glue.
15:18Why does it do that?
15:20It doesn't fall off the floor.
15:21I've never seen mash that's shiny like this before.
15:24I lost a fingernail while doing the mash, and so if you find the fingernail in the mash,
15:28you get a special surprise.
15:29Oh, it's going to be mine.
15:30I'm kidding.
15:31I've still got all ten.
15:32Oh, wow.
15:33It's rude.
15:34Pink mash.
15:36What was she thinking?
15:37Courtney worked so hard, but, you know, she needs a bit of practice with that.
15:41Do you want those beads?
15:42Are you struggling?
15:43Oh, here we go again.
15:46I'm a very acquired taste buds.
15:50It's hard to cook for me because I don't like anything.
15:54The perfect in a guest.
15:56The perfect!
15:58It's almost as the plate hit him in front of him.
16:01He looked at it and said, I'm not going to eat any of this.
16:04Not even going to try it?
16:05No.
16:05Tonight, he's had nothing.
16:07He must be starving.
16:08I'm a bit concerned that Steve might have lost a few pounds throughout the course of the evening.
16:14He is looking a lot thinner.
16:16It's all still there.
16:17Just a bit of pastry's gone.
16:18The pastry's amazing, by the way, of course.
16:22He'd almost skinned that Wellington, hadn't he?
16:24He'd taken the lid off it and all the innards was just left.
16:36Oh, hang on.
16:37He's taken a crumb.
16:38He's taken a crumb.
16:46Right, how about some sophistication?
16:48I love burping.
16:51Do you feel...
16:52It's funny you just said that because I've had a real argument with my missus.
16:56She doesn't fart in front of me.
16:58Oh, got my boyfriend.
17:00I feel like that's like...
17:01She don't...
17:02Oi!
17:04Sorry.
17:04That's all right.
17:04Better out than in.
17:05But I feel like she don't love me.
17:07Like, she ain't comfortable enough.
17:09Maybe she just sees that keeping a little element of mystery keeps the passion and the spark alive.
17:16You know what happens is we'll be watching a film and she'll have all this gas built up inside her.
17:21Instead of letting it out, she'll keep it in because she wants to keep the mystery.
17:25But I hear her belly rumbling.
17:27Got any gas stories, Debbie?
17:29No?
17:30My boyfriend said that if I ever farted in front of him, we'd have to break up with me now.
17:33Oh, God, the fireworks are going everywhere.
17:38Sorry to bring that up.
17:39Sorry to bring that up during eating, by the way.
17:41Sorry.
17:41Sorry, Debs.
17:43I'm older than all of you.
17:44When I was brought up, you just wouldn't have talked about it.
17:47It's true.
17:48It's true.
17:48Can I just say, I think there's more interesting things to talk about.
17:51Here, here.
17:52Than that.
17:53Yes.
17:53Let's change the subject.
17:55But I felt a little bit uncomfortable for Debbie, who didn't want to join.
17:59So I kind of took her time to make her...
18:00She stopped it eventually, didn't she?
18:02Yeah, she made no bones about that, didn't she?
18:04Yeah.
18:05I think without Debbie here, it would be a race to the bottom.
18:09Just being brought up that you don't talk about, and you don't burp in public.
18:13And if you do, you say pardon.
18:15Well, quite, Deborah.
18:17How about a game of Never Have I Ever?
18:19Hats at the reddit.
18:21Never have I ever done drag.
18:23So I have.
18:25Yeah.
18:25Because I used to wear wigs and wore a dress.
18:28Oh yeah, nothing else you care to mention, Steve-O.
18:30Nothing on Snapchat.
18:35Oh, that's lovely footwork.
18:37Sorry everyone, back to the table.
18:39Never have I ever.
18:40Yeah.
18:41Gone to do a bottom burp.
18:44And followed through.
18:46What?
18:46Nice.
18:48Yes, YG!
18:49Isn't it?
18:50I was on a date with my boyfriend, and I was like, so anyway, I'll just sort of like,
18:55I don't know when I'll notice.
18:57Oh God.
18:58Oh.
18:59Oh, I think that fart picked up hitchhikers.
19:02Oh.
19:02Just smile and nod, Debbie.
19:04It's like, I'm just going to be back in a moment, and I knew exactly what to do,
19:07because my friend had done it and talked me through the process.
19:12What'd you do?
19:13You've just got to take off your underwear and throw them away.
19:15Yeah.
19:15I think your pink mash is going to hitchhike its way out of Debbie's mouth.
19:18I really don't see anything nice talking about following it through.
19:25I think what it conjures up in one's imagination isn't nice.
19:30You know, I prefer to think of somebody making love or doing something nice.
19:35Oh, Debbie McGee!
19:37To get her guests back in the festive spirit, Courtney's got a little sing-song planned.
19:41All I want for Christmas is...
19:50That pitch when she goes right down, she goes...
19:54And I don't care.
19:57Aren't there meant to be lyrics here?
20:00I've cooked, I've entertained, you can do the singing.
20:04Would have been even better if we knew the words.
20:06It would have been super, super better if she knew the words,
20:09seeing it was her performance, you know?
20:10All I want for Christmas...
20:16Is...
20:17And down!
20:22Oh, yeah!
20:23Well done, guys.
20:25Listen, man, I always give credit where it's due, but I'll also be honest.
20:28You know, I mean, it's a terrible performance.
20:30Could have been worse.
20:31All I want for Christmas is you.
20:36See what I mean?
20:37Dessert, please.
20:39Crikey!
20:39How many are you feeding?
20:41I hope they're hungry.
20:43Well, I know Steve-O is.
20:45Well, there it is.
20:47Pink lamington and a pink pad.
20:49Dig in.
20:49Hey!
20:50Hey!
20:51How are you talking?
20:52So where's the pavlova bit?
20:54So the pavlova is the meringue.
20:56That bit.
20:57That bit.
20:58And then the other thing is called a lamington, which is our other national dessert.
21:01Traditionally, it's a sponge, but tonight I've decided to go for, let's say, more of a
21:05bread with the coconut sauce.
21:08Lovely.
21:10The meringue is actually, you know when you open a can of chickpeas?
21:13Yes.
21:14You like this?
21:15Yes.
21:16Amazing.
21:17Well done, Coates.
21:20Look out, he's gone.
21:23What are you giggling at, Dominic?
21:27You too make me laugh.
21:30Have I missed something?
21:31Taxes!
21:32The delirium was kicking in as well.
21:34That didn't help, did it?
21:35Yeah, no, it didn't help.
21:36And suddenly I had an out-of-body experience realising that she just sat around the table
21:39with Debbie McGee, Les Dawson's daughter, a drag artist in Australia, and Steve-O.
21:45I didn't know what was going on and how I got there.
21:48The lamington, which is meant to be a sponge cake, was quite pleasant, but it was a bit heavy.
21:55I'd give myself a 7.94.
21:59Our food just wasn't Shazza's cup of tea, so I'm giving her a 6.
22:04Considering I'm going home starving, I'm going to give Courtney a 6.
22:08The food wasn't bad, but it also wasn't great, so I'm going to give Courtney a 5.
22:13We're going to give Courtney 8.
22:167.
22:17Oh.
22:187.
22:19Giving Courtney's pink and festive soiree a rather merry 24 out of 40.
22:25Next time...
22:27Oh, my God!
22:28...a fishy fiasco.
22:30I'm putting batter on the fish.
22:32The batter on the fish, it wasn't actually battered.
22:34And Debbie gets dark.
22:36The thing is, I might be worse than all of you.
22:40She said that there's a dark and mysterious side.
22:43He's there.
22:44...
22:49...
