Drag queen, Simon Green, is used to putting on a show but for dinner he's planning a more dapper affair

Simon Green is no stranger to putting on a show. By night he becomes Betty Legs Diamond, the lead drag act at Blackpool's funny girls.

While his guests are expecting some high kicking high jinx Simon has a more dapper dinner in mind, complete with quail's eggs, roast lamb and homemade shortbread.

Simon's guests agree dinner is delicious, especially when their host rustles up redcurrant sauce off the cuff to accompany their well done meat. But they can't hide their disappointment that Simon is not in drag.

"My work is my work and my home life is my home life," he tells them. "You can see Betty Legs Diamond any day of the week but I'd rather you see me as a person."

For all the years I have been watching "Come Dine with me " I have tried the first ever recipe.I have made Simons strawberry shortcake stack.What a great sucess.I also made the courgette vegetable side dish but that was from memory.I cant find the recipe for Simons exact ingredients.I filled the courgette ring with mushrooms and onions.Any chance of getting the recipe from Simon.
