LEEDS: LINDA GOLDBERG

Linda has no regrets about the dishes she served up and had to rack her brains to come up with a dinner party disaster: "Twenty odd years ago I made dinner for some people who I didn’t know were vegetarian."

Comfy cook Linda is a natural TV chef: "I loved having the cameras in my kitchen, and I loved getting the house ready as well – I was very excited."

When Rachel was announced as her overnight guest, Linda had no complaints: "At the time I was happy Rachel stayed over, yes. I’d like to think the overnight stay went well - we tried our best."

The house guest

Rachel says: I'd rather have stayed at Ian's - although I did gatecrash there anyway! I felt they made no effort with me in the morning but the room was comfortable like a real B&B experience
