Celebs love dining out but how are they at dishing up? Here's 4Food's pick of Celebrity Come Dine with Me's most memorable meals.

Ah Michelle; loves a pint but hates panties. A match made in glamour heaven. Not wanting to overstretch herself Michelle opted for a DIY dessert of chocolate fondue. Delicious – if only she'd melted the chocolate.

Boys in bands often have a bimbo rep. Not our Lee, though. Alongside a lobster bisque and a baked camembert, Lee rustled up a luscious lobster and truffle risotto. You can take the celeb out of the pretentious menu but you can't take the pretentious menu out of the celeb.

Most celeb's culinary capabilities stretch as far as a cup of tea. Jonathan went one better putting his tea bags in with a tray of duck. His guests loved his tea smoked fillet of duck - his smoke alarm liked it less so.

No, we're not talking about Hawaiian groupies. Harvey created this tropical tart masterpiece in a matter of minutes, using shop-bought pastry and a bucket load of fruit. Oh come on, bad boys don't bake.

Who makes ice cream with olive oil? Who'd serve ice cream with tuna? Behind Peter Stringfellow's supposedly pervy exterior lurks a culinary creator just desperate to get out. For God's sake don't let it. Peppered tuna with olive oil ice cream? Don't mind if I don't.

Competitive comedienne, Helen Lederer, hoped to impress her peers with a poppy seed cheesecake. But a word to the wise Helen: if you need the dessert to dazzle don't forget the poppy seeds.

You'd think a three course dinner would be no challenge for Anneka. But you'd be wrong. After breaking two whisks and her spirit on a fruit pavlova, Anneka's eight year old daughter is called into the kitchen to save the day.

Celebs love a bit of bling, so funny man, Roland, thought he'd tickle everyone's fancy with some caviar canapés. But while the pancakes looked pretty such frugal fodder left his guests starving.

Peter treated his guests to a fruity little number to round off their meal. Fruit pie sounds safe enough but the Sheffield sugar daddy was up to his ice cream tricks again – this time vodka made a surprise appearance as an ice cream ingredient. Will somebody not buy that man some raspberry ripple?

Fashion designer, Ben de Lisi, can certainly craft a costume but can he cook a meal? Drawing from all the experience his Italian ancestors had to offer, Ben dazzled his diners with these delicious Italian spring rolls. His Mamma would be proud.
