Popular Channel 4 show Come Dine With Me has been based in Cardiff this week, with five lucky locals hoping to cook up a storm, earn the most points for their hosting skills and food and win the £1000 prize money at the end of it. But just before the finishing line, one of the diners has left the competition suddenly.
During artist Ashley's pub grub and takeaway inspired extravanganza on Thursday, February 16 - during which he served a homemade crisp sandwich, curry half and half with flatbreads and pistachio cheesecake - mental health worker and singer Tracey, who cooked for the other four contestants first with a Jamaican-inspired feast, decided to leave the meal and competition after just the starter, leaving the remaining contestants in shock.
She told the VT: "I'm gutted but I'm not feeling very well so I'm going to have to leave tonight," which left Ashley feeling sad that she hadn't tried his curry.
