Come Dine With Me: The Professionals debuted on Channel 4 today (June 27). The new format saw three restaurant owners host dinner parties at their respective eateries in a bid to win £1,000.
Given the professional nature of this spin-off, it’s unsurprising that its participants had a fair amount of self-confidence about their personal skills in the kitchen. One of the chefs, Brian, was keen to boast about his history cooking for some of the biggest names in the UK.
During the first evening, when Brian and his partner Lisa enjoyed posh nosh at The Barn, Brian proclaimed to have cooked for Princess Diana, Bill Clinton and even the Queen. He also stated how he was formerly Simon Cowell’s personal chef.
