It's a night full of bling, laughter and chest waxing but will it be enough to guarantee Sam the grand?

It's the third night in Essex and Claire lays on a lavish East End feast. But will her traditional fare be pukka enough to scoop the prize?

This week's competition is in Belfast, where first to host is 30-year-old mobile phone sales manager Steve.

In Belfast, it's the turn of mobile barista Justin to host, and he's hoping to wow his guests with a BBQ extravaganza; even dessert will be toasted on the Barbie. Justin's confident about his grub will win over his guests and he's also keen to win the heart of fellow diner Julie, who he's been flirting with all week. Table talk's dominated with cheesy chat up lines but later, things take a nose dive. Will the tense atmosphere serve as entertainment or will it cost Justin the grand?
