"I couldn't not comment, as the show is about to turn twenty, who'd have thought this show would have survived for two decades. It used to be essential viewing, a show we'd watch as a family, I can't lie, it hasn't been on the radar for about a decade, but the twenty year anniversary, made it appealing. It has changed a little, the public have become more over the top, louder, more competitive, and even more keen to win that £1000 prize. It does vary somewhat episode by episode, some are terrible, some are great fun, it all depends on the contestants they've ass..."

💡 Did You Know?

The £1000 prize offered to the winner of each cooking week has remained unchanged throughout the show's history. While still a fairly substantial amount, it's notable that inflation has made this change from a considerable sum and just into something of a nice bonus.

By the inflation standards of 2025, then £1000 when the show began in 2005 would have been worth the equivalent of around £1,733. Conversely, if the earliest contestants were winning the equivalent of £1000 by the rate of 2025, it would only have been worth around £577.
