I was on Come Dine With Me – our row at the table was so vicious my co-star broke down in tears and the Channel 4 crew were forced to intervene

Channel 4 show Come Dine With Me has featured some pretty awkward encounters since it hit our screens in 2005. 

In a recent episode, Bernadette, Lauren, Garry, Lydia and Saoirse, all from Glasgow, battled it out to get their hands on the cash prize. 

Things got very awkward when Bernedette told Lauren that her dish didn’t actually exist, after she made them sea bᴀss steaks. 

The pair clashed at the dinner table, but managed to sort it out. 

However later on in the week all hell broke lose again – and it’s not been revealed that the crew had to step in. 

Speaking to The Sun, Bernedette said: ‘The filming crew like the runners, the sound guys, the electrics, they were all amazing.

‘And they were the ones that kind of tobered things down when it got heated.’

The moment got a lot of those who were watching at home talking, and so much so that people have been coming to visit Bernedette at work.

The Come Dine With Me guest owns Ayrshire’s Wee Fish Van.

‘I can’t believe everyone is talking about it. 

‘But it’s good advertising for my wee fish van I guess,’ she added to the publication. 

‘Everybody comes into the van now and asks can I get a seabᴀss steak. 

‘I suppose it’s debatable if there really is such a thing, it’s not common anyways.

‘It’s like any kind of fish, I guess, if you cut it through the middle it’s like a tuna steak but that’s a different thing.’

At the start of the week, Lauren confessed: ‘I’ve had a sea bᴀss steak before and it’s a really chunky, meaty bit of fish and it’s just a bit different.’

But Bernadette made it clear that the fish isn’t a thing, saying she was sure it wasn’t what she ate.

The fish van owner told her: ‘There is never a sea bᴀss steak, I can ᴀssure you the only way you can buy sea bᴀss is by the fillet.’

During Gary’s Ibiza-themed evening the pair ʙuттed heads. 

Bernedette said: ‘You’ve obviously got a problem, and see at the end of the day, I’m quite fed up hearing about fish. 

‘That’s my opinion. That’s your opinion. Let’s call it a truce.’

Lauren replied: ‘I don’t think so. You called me a liar. 

‘You’re calling yourself a qualified fishmonger but you don’t know if you can get seabᴀss steaks.’

Lydia told them to call it a day because it was Gary’s night.  

However Lauren kept going and told her that she called her a liar and they just carried on arguing. 

 Lydia told Lauren: ‘She didn’t call you a liar.’

Lauren clapped back: ‘Why are you defending her?!’ 

‘Because she didn’t use that word. I’m not defending her,’ Lydia replied. 

Neither of the two ended up being crowned winner of the show that week. 

Despite all the drama on his night, it was Gary who was crowned winner. 

Come Dine With Me airs on Channel 4.
