Dental technician and wannabe DJ, Steven Parks think's his culinary class makes him the man to beat in Come Dine With Me Kent

Steven's been bitching about his rivals' efforts all week but thanks to Tanya's constant cob-on, no-one appears to have noticed. Except us. So what does the dining diva have up his sleeve?
"I won't put on my high heels to entertain people," he scoffs - that is a disappointment.

A keen cook since the age of thirteen, Steven pretty confident in the kitchen. When his haute cuisine menu and lucky pants combined he reckons he's a strong contender. Then again, he's never cooked for Tanya before and true to form she's not happy. In fact she won't even try the starter. Get over it love.

Precisely seven minutes later, not six minutes, not eight minutes, Steve's well rehearsed fish parcels are ready. Only they're not. Catastrophe! Gutted, he returns them to the oven for an extra blast. Back at the table, Tanya's ignoring her main course as it's not up to her standards. Obviously.

To make matters worse, Trevor's on the lash and slurring his knowledge of wine diseases to the group. Still he has matched his shirt to Steve's art collection so it's not all bad.

Steven opened with an impressively posh minted pea cappuccino with griddled Kentish asparagus.

After a slight timing trouble the guests ate baked fillets of sea bream and red mullet with griddled vegetables, and for Tanya, a veggie version with baked puy lentils and field mushrooms.

Even Tanya was excited by pud, rich chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream, frosted berries and raspberry sauce served with Hungarian dessert wine.
