Come Dine With Me: The Professionals Returns for a Sizzling Second Series
Get ready, foodies! Come Dine With Me: The Professionals is back with a brand new 20-part series. This time, top chefs and restaurateurs face off to claim the title of the best independent eatery in their local area – and a juicy £1,000 cash prize.
Chefs Go Head-to-Head in Real Restaurant Battles
Each episode pits three rival restaurants against each other. They take turns hosting during a normal service, serving up dishes they hope will wow the visiting competitors. These rival pairs check out the atmosphere, food, and service before scoring their hosts out of 20. The highest scorers pocket the prize.
Celebrity Narration and Producer Buzz
Fans will recognise the iconic voice of 1 Lamb narrating the drama as it unfolds. Executive Producer Simone Haywood said:
“It is a testament to the enduring popularity of the format that this twist has proved such a success and we can’t wait to see another wave of professionals take on the Come Dine challenge as we visit a brand new selection of UK eateries.”
A Global Food Phenomenon
Come Dine With Me is one of the most popular TV formats worldwide, boasting over 17,000 episodes across 46 countries. From Brazil to Sweden and Ukraine to Germany – which just aired its 25th series – the show has captivated viewers everywhere. HBO Max’s latest Mexican commission is set to premiere later this month, proving the series’ unstoppable global appetite.
