Come Dine Champion of Champions (2016)
In a brand new take on Channel 4’s flagship Daytime show, previous winners will take part in a high-pressure tournament to be crowned a Come Dine With Me Champion of Champions. Taking place in a large country manor house, long-running narrator of Come Dine With Me, Dave Lamb will step out from behind the microphone to present this brand new format. The series will feature former contestants cooking against each other in a series of challenges; they’ll be marking one another’s efforts but also be judged by some special mystery guests who will bring a super critical edge to proceedings! After four days of heats, the daily winners will return to battle for that week’s title of Champion of Champions.
