Applicants must not be trained as a chef or have worked as a professional chef. They must be 18 or over and a legal resident in the UK.

ITV Studios are producing the show for Channel 4, with the call for contestants reading: "A group of five contestants compete to host the best dinner party. At the end of each dinner party, each guest rates the party on a scale of one to ten inclusive.

"At the end of the last party, the host of that party gets the voting results, which they read to the other competitors. The competitor with the highest score wins £1,000.

"In the event of a tie, the £1,000 is split between the winning contestants."
