The Come Dine with Me narrator is just reading off of a script – and contestants NEVER get to meet him

A FORMER contestant on Come Dine With Me has shared sensational claims about her time on the Channel 4 show - including one about narrator Dave Lamb. 

The hit Channel 4 reality show follows a group of amateur chefs hosting cosy dinner parties for their fellow contestants, but only one takes home the £1,000 prize.

However, former contestant Katy Spence, who appeared on the series in 2014, has shared her own version of events that viewers at home don’t see.

In a TikTok Q&A the former star explained some revealing claims about the show's narrator - and even suggested that he doesn't write his own script.

When asked a question about whether or not she got to meet Dave, she said: “So, Dave Lamb, I get lots of questions about him. Did I meet him, does he write it, do you speak to him, does he come to your house?

"I was gutted to find out that we got no contact with him at all - and I asked them that. I was like, do we get to meet Dave Lamb? And they were like no, no sorry."

She continued that the 53-year-old doesn't write his own script, adding: “He doesn’t meet us, doesn’t talk to us, he doesn’t write that script.

"Very, very, very clever producers who have seen everything - they write his script.

"And then Dave Lamb, of course, has that incredible, one-of-a-kind way of delivering what he’s saying - until he called my gorgeous back wall in my kitchen ‘dodgy wallpaper’ - that’s how he knows so much about you.

“That’s how he’s able to talk about the contestants because it’s written by the producers who have been with you all week, so they are the unsung comedy geniuses of that series - no doubt."

Lamb has previously revealed he "isn’t in control of the whole narrative", but is "allowed to improvise around the script" with the voice over coming at the end of production.
