HOUSE GUEST: STEPHEN COLLINS

Stephen entered House Guest because he was confident of winning:
"Daisy is an excellent cook, organised and works well under pressure so we could win on the food."

Strangely, appearing on House Guest inspired Stephen's first dinner party disaster: "I'd never had one until ITV's Erroll came for dinner after the show had ended and I burned a chicken for the first time in my life. It was so Ironic and unbelievably embarrassing."

The antiques dealer was delighted by his house guest: "The overnight stay was hysterical and great fun. I was over the moon that Lesley stayed - she's divine fun!" Stephen was also drawn to Lesley Tirner because: "She reminded me of my mum - she's kind, cuddly and funny."
