Alexander took part in the show because: "I was keen to have the opportunity for my food to be assessed by individuals who will give an honest opinion with no consideration for my feelings."
The host chose his Russian partner Alexandra to join him in the kitchen. He says: Sshe is very special to me and it was an experience we could share together. We are used to cooking and entertaining together and work well together as a team. Alexandra is also a fantastic cook and a great host."
Alex had no complaints about his house guest: "We were happy to have Judy staying overnight and I think it went well."
