If you're well accustomed to the phrase "Dear Lord what a sad little life, Jane", you'll know how competitive the cooking show can be.
Entering its seventeenth year live on television, it sure has become a British classic and over the years we've discovered that whether you're willing to throw your creme brûlées out the window or throw in a 1/10 score, guests will do absolutely anything to hide their mistakes for the top spot- and now its your turn.

The only difference this year is that you must be an established chef to qualify and it's not just you that will be judged, but your entire restaurant as the casting call refers to Come Dine With Me's new spin off version of the original show that takes the standard of cooking to a professional level.
Entitled Come Dine With Me: The Professionals, Channel 4 are looking for restaurants that can serve up the best food in town and share it on national television.
In an advertisement on their Facebook page, Come Dine With Me state:
"We are now casting in Leeds and Yorkshire to find restaurants to go head to head in a cook-off to end all cook-offs!
"Want to showcase your restaurant? Think you've got amazing staff? Brilliant Cooks? Top notch customer service? Register your restaurants."
Those hopeful to make it on to the cult TV show will have to apply via Multi Story Media and email cdwm@multistory.tv, for more information you can visit the Come Dine With Me Facebook page.
We can't wait to see who is crowned top in Leeds' city-wide search for the best professional chef on Come Dine With Me.
A renowned brewery have announced that they will be taking over the reigns of a popular craft beer bottle shop in Ilkley.
Fuggle & Golding opened in 2015 on Leeds road in Ilkley and quickly grew a loyal following with locals and visitors alike.
Sadly they announced last month that their last day of trading would be Saturday 28 February, news which was met with huge disappointment.
However this is no longer the case, as Horsforth Brewery is set to reopen the venue on Wednesday. Hooray!
Announcing the welcomed news to Instagram, Horsforth Brewery wrote: "When we saw they were going to close we were determined to not lose another great venue from the local beer scene.
"We owe a massive thank you to George and the landlord for getting a deal across the line in quick order.
"We’re going to take a few days to put our stamp on the place and then we will be open on Wednesday!"
"Obviously we will be stocking our beers here but as anyone who knows will know, we love the beer scene so we will continue to have a good amount of guest beer on as well. We’ll even been joining in with the biggest beer launches from around the country.
"Want to know the best news? We’re doing this solo. No outside interests, no investors, no debt. In the current climate being able to organically grow like this is so so hard and it’s thanks to all our team that we’ve been able to do this.
"We’ve always been determined to grow our business in a healthy and sustainable way; it may have (absolutely has) been tough over the years but we’ve got ourselves in a position to take us to the next level in a sustainable way."
Beloved late night Leeds cocktail bar The Maven announces permanent closure
Clementine Hall
"After years of late nights, strong cocktails, and incredible stories; The Maven will close its doors"
It's a sad day for the Leeds night life scene, as a beloved speakeasy bar has today announced that it will be closing its doors for good.
The Maven has been a firm favourite for many years with those looking to enjoy some experimental and expertly made cocktails.
Hidden behind an unassuming door at the top of Call Lane, it was a great spot to visit if you were looking for something that little bit special.
Announcing the news to their social media, The Maven said: "From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for being our guests over the years and promise that until then, we'll do our best to give you the best nights out on Call Lane."
