Lesley asked her good friend Harold to help her with her dinner party because he's "the perfect person. He's so good with wine and food and also
with people."
The host decided upon a "truly European" menu and insists she has no regrets about her choice of dishes, before admiting that sometimes she wishes she'd chosen something different.
Sue not eating her food is her biggest dinner party disaster to date - even worse than her taps breaking on the day. Harold left for the US before we could get his recipes so we've rustled up our own versions instead...

Sue says: I am an early riser and was glad that Lesley is the same. She was helpful throughout my stay but I wasn't a big fan of her food, I'm sorry to say, so that lowered her score
