Ms Cunningham, from Horwich, said: "I was so shocked when I found out how many people had applied for the show.

"Brian McFadden the host is so nice and really puts you at ease. It was so much fun eating in the celebrities' houses. I guessed Bob Carolgees within about half an hour, but I didn't even know who Lee was."

She said: "I've done quite a lot of reality TV and also some extra work too. I'm filming for two other shows later this year too, so watch this space."
