	'Come Dine With Me' sparks 'fakery' row

	Channel 4's Come Dine With Me
has today been accused of misleading viewers after the broadcaster
admitted that celebrity contestants are being lent properties to cook
in.
Producers of the cookery show have hired out properties on occasions when stars did not want their real homes shown on TV, the Daily Mail reports. It is thought that the practice has also occasionally occurred for the convenience of filming schedules.
Come Dine With Me follows the progress of amateur chefs as they take turns in hosting dinner parties for the other contestants.
Actor
Christopher Biggins is said to be one star who was seen in a rented
home on the programme because he was "nervous" about showing his real
residence on TV. While the property was not explicitly named as his
own, he was seen acting as if it was.
Meanwhile, in a recent Christmas special, Loose Women
star Sherrie Hewson reportedly hosted a dinner party in a rented
property because her real home in the north-west was too far away from
the other contestants.
Responding to the news, Mediawatch
director Vivienne Pattinson commented: "I don't think this does
anything for public trust when it is not made clear."
A Channel 4
spokesman said: "For logistic and security reasons, some of the
celebrity dinner parties are filmed at a rented location rather than
their own homes. This is only the case for the celebrity spinoffs.
Contributors for Come Dine With Me host their dinners at their own homes."

OK this, I didn't know. I knew Louis's various "houses" on X Factor weren't his own (just in case any young gentlemen recognised them, I guess ) but I did think the celeb homes on CDWM were their own (duh! )

I catch this brilliant prog whenever I can , the bitchiness is hilarious, they pick nearly always  the vilest, most mean spirited people to take part and couple that with the sublime, witty commentary makes it a must see prog.

I did look at Sherrie's apartment on the xmas show and thought how strangely contemporary it was for her and wondered just how much were Loose Women paying her! 

Feel a bit cheated now

	It's a bit cheeky but not really surprising. I suppose just because someone's on TV, it doesn't mean they don't live like a hobo.
