We're counting down the top 10 most chaotic moments on Come Dine With Me.
There's nothing better than watching a group of four strangers snoop around each others houses and all cook for each other, unless it's watching a group of four strangers cook for each other and then have a full-blown argument. Come Dine With Me is known for having viral moments that have left viewers with their jaws dropped, whether that's because of someone's unusual menu, absurd cooking choices, or rows erupting at the dinner table.
And let's be honest, these are usually our favourite bits of the show, so we've compiled a list of the most chaotic moments that are sure to leave you reeling.

10. This guy getting so annoyed he wasn't the centre of attention
Starting off strong with this man throwing a full tantrum over the two women at the table paying too much attention to the other guy. I think he says it all.
9. When this woman took a tumble
Ally was the last to arrive at the dinner party, but she maybe had one of the best entrances. Stepping to cross the road, she lost her balance and hit the deck, but seemed overall uninjured because she popped right back up.
8. Mark trying sardines for the first time and nearly vomits
Like any polite guest, Mark tried to avoid eating the sardines by hiding them under the rest of his food. Unfortunately for him and another guest, the others noticed who hadn't tried the fish and encouraged them to give it a go.
It didn't go well, with Mark immediately gagging and spitting his food out, before he was offered his host's bowl to be sick in.
7. Tina who injured her foot
If there's one thing you need to know about Tina, it's that she injured her foot. Lucky for us, she's happy to mention it as many times as she feels is necessary. Come Dine With Me is all about the cooking, and Tina did almost none, instead opting for shop-bought packets of sauce, rice, and bread.
6. The dish that was simply "A mess"
We've all made things that didn't turn out exactly like the picture in the recipe book, but this was truly indescribable. During this dinner party, narrator David Lamb didn't even know what to call the dish the contestant had prepared, and simply labelled it "a mess".
5. Claire's stir-loined steaks
Claire's cooking techniques were sure to raise eyebrows, even if she hadn't used her oven-gloved hand to flip them on the grill. She also used the oven glove to mix her chips around, and served everything up on chopping boards after blasting the steaks in the microwave to finish them off and dousing them with BBQ sauce.
4. When this woman brought an actual snake out
As a big finale to her meal, Claire brought out her pet snake Fluffy, which proceeded to poo all over the table. It didn't help that she was absolutely steaming at the time, but she left her guests less than impressed.
3. The lowest score in Come Dine With Me history
Come Dine With Me has seen some shocking meals, but none worse than this, which literally scored a seven, the worst score in the show's history. Lee kicks off his appearance saying he hopes he wins, then when his guests arrive he immediately leaves them to cook his meal.
He reveals he is yet to peel his potatoes and still needs to cook his creme brules, which he burns and then throws out the window, for unknown reasons. The rest of meal is served late, and with a side of sass from Lee when his guests ask when they'll be eating.
2. The time a guy put his whole whisk in his mouth
There may be some debate amongst people on whether you should get a spoon to have a little taste of your cake mixture, or if you can just dip your finger in. Luckily, we can all unite on what is definitely the WRONG way to do it, which is to unhinge your jaw and insert an entire whisk into your mouth.
1. Dear Lord what a sad little life, Jane
Nothing could ever top this viral moment from the show, which picked up speed again during lockdown and became an internet sensation. Peter and Jane's feud throughout their episode culminated in a brilliant speech from Peter when he was forced to declare his rival the winner.
He said: "You won, Jane. Enjoy the money. I hope it makes you very happy. Dear Lord what a sad little life, Jane. You ruined my night. Completely. So you could have the money.
"But I hope now you spend it on getting some lessons in grace and decorum because you have all the grace of a reversing dump truck without any tyres on."
Then, when another contestant said: "I don’t get it." Peter added: "Well you wouldn’t, would you? There’s nothing in there, love. So Jane, take your money and get off my property.”
