Broadcast to coincide with the kick-off of the Rugby World Cup 2011 in New Zealand, the episode will air on Friday 9th September, 2011 at 8pm on Channel 4.

Come Dine With Me follows amateur chefs competing for the title of the ultimate dinner party host. Each episode brings together four strangers who take turns cooking up their idea of the perfect evening. Each competitor then rates the host's performance and the winner is lauded the 'ultimate dinner party host' and awarded a cash prize. The Celebrity guests take the prize for their chosen charity.

Cheeky scrum half Kyran Bracken kicks off a week of banter and boisterousness by comparing manly war wounds with his fellow players. Also the quartet play 'egg Russian roulette', involving one fresh egg and three boiled eggs. At his home on night 2, winger Martin Offiah attempts an evening of fine dining involving mussels and an 'authentic' Nigerian stew.



As a nod to the nation hosting this year’s world cup, prop forward Victor Ubogu decides to lighten the mood on Night 3 by getting everyone up close and personal with some sheep. Gareth Chilcott rounds off the week in Bristol.

Talking about his culinary adventure, Victor Ubogu commented: “It was great to get together and battle with the boys off the pitch! I knew it would be a bit raucous when I saw the guest list. The pressure was certainly on though as it’s a competition, but it’s fantastic to be able to eat good food and taste lots of good wine, all for a good cause!”

Tune in to Channel 4 this Friday 9th September at 8pm to discover their rugby recipes and find out who impressed their guests the most.
