A former Come Dine With Me contestant has made some some shocking remarks about the popular show, which she appeared on in 2014.
Katy Spence has claimed the programme wasn’t what she expected and she claims she was left £600 out of pocket after her disappointing appearance.
Uploading a video to TikTok Katy embarked on a rant about the Channel 4 competition that sees strangers pitted against each other in the kitchen as they try to win the title of the best dinner party host and bag themselves the £1,000 cash prize.
Katy claimed: “During my week, one of the people absolutely should have won, their food was the best.

“But, it’s hugely edited, massively staged – and they know who they want to win right from the get-go.”
Katie then answered a series of questions she claims she gets regularly asked about her time on the show.
She continued: “Do you get loads of money for taking part? No. You get £250 and that covers your food, your entertainment and any cutlery that you need.”

She claimed in the video: “Seeing that you take a gift to each contestant’s house, it cost me five or six hundred pounds – that’s not even including the fact that I couldn’t work for the week because I was filming from about three or four o’clock every day.”
Katy also dismissed any ideas of boozy fun parties being part and parcel of the show when she took part eight years ago.
She added: “Sitting down for dinner for about six hours, all the while you’re being stared at by four or five people around you. You barely even properly eat, let alone drink.”

Viewers of the video were stunned as they headed to the comments section to air their disappointment.
One said: “Ngl that’s really upset me. I thought come dine with me was a lot more real than that.”
Another added: “Staged. I feel betrayed.”
A third wrote: “My heart has been shattered.”
