Come Dine With Me has been a Channel 4 staple for years - but former contestant Benjy Potter has revealed some of the secrets of the show, including what really goes on in the black cab scenes
Showbiz journalist Benjy Potter has spilled the beans on all the behind-the-scenes secrets he discovered when he appeared on Come Dine with Me back in 2020 - including a surprising fact about the iconic black cab scenes.
However, there are plenty of things happening behind the scenes that viewers aren't privy to. For instance, according to the showbiz journalist, each dinner party lasts an incredible eight hours. He also revealed that due to the lengthy filming process, the food served is "always cold". "They have to take so many different shots of it but by the time it gets on our plate and you eat it, it's cold."
The host begins preparing dinner with the ingredients bought from the £125 budget they're given. The meal prep starts at 10am, and it's done to a point where "to a state where you just have to warm it up in the oven or pan fry it to warm it up just before it's served".
