The city of Ipswich has more pigs than people and the first of our hosts hogging the limelight on Come Dine With Me Ipswich hopes her guests will be greedy for seafood Former pub landlady, Zoe Condon, thinks her experience running a pub makes her an expert in grub. But if her rivals' repasts don't come up to scratch don't expect Zoe to mince her words. "If someone comes to the table and says 'did you enjoy that?' and I didn't I'll tell them. Or else how do they learn?" You teach 'em Zoe.

Buff butcher, Gerard from Come Dine With Me Ipswich has the women eating out of his hand. But with a starter of black pudding and chicken livers he's going to need all the charm he can muster. "It's a brave choice," he admits. "I don't think anyone would want that, except maybe Baz."

Kicking off the week in Come Dine With Me - South London is half-American, half-Swedish host, Judi Lembke As a trained journalist, Judi's strength is making people feel comfortable. And talking. She's very good at talking. As host number one, all Judi wants is for her guests to relax and have a great night at her home: "Kick off your shoes!" she says, "or not!" Anything goes at Judi's krazee house

Legal eagle, Lisa, is the second host to try her luck in Come Dine With Me - South London but the hour she serves dinner at is criminal Clean freak Lisa's day takes a turn for the worse when her Parmesan crisps drip onto her pristine oven. Cheese melts - who'd have thought it? Her cooker calamities get worse still when the whole thing packs up leaving her lamb shanks on the wrong side of bloody.

Deer-collecting deputy head, Peter, is the next Come Dine With Me - South London host to take up the gauntlet - but will his cooking stag-ger his guests? Peter Rixham describes himself as 'surprisingly single' and it's certainly not because of a lack of equestrian wear: "I've got some riding boots here, never worn them but I thought if someone ever says 'do you want to go riding?' that could be fun."

Self-proclaimed wine expert, Moni, brought her refined palate to Come Dine With Me - South London. She loves fine wines. As long as they're Chateauneuf-du-Pape Moni is an office manager who loves managing offices. She's also a vegetarian but that doesn’t mean she's boring. People might think she is boring, but she's not boring. Got that? She's not boring.

Matthew is planning to dazzle his Come Dine With Me - South London dinner guests with his Jamie Oliver-style skills, but would Jamie serve his guests packet pasta? Matthew has been a complete food snob all week, turning his epicurean nose up at Judi's schnapps (mass produced), Moni's dahl (too runny) and Lisa's lamb (we'll give him that one). Matthew doesn't blame the other hosts; after all, he's been cooking dinner parties for his dinner party group from the age of 16.
