Scottish food YouTuber Darren shocked his guests with a fat filled fully fried menu in the latest episode.

In this week's episode of the Channel 4 cooking show, Scottish contestant Darren served up a three course deep fried feast in his Glasgow home.

Darren is the creator of a YouTube channel called Does It Fry, where he attempts to deep fry various unexpected foods, including mashed potatoes and tinned chicken. Using his deep frying expertise, Darren created a startling three-course menu for the Come Dine With Me contestants. 

Darren’s starter was a highly suspect deep fried chicken and caviar dish, which contestant Jen called ‘disgusting’. Fellow guest Robert said he had to stop himself from vomiting the first course back up.

His main course was the infamous deep fried pasta dish, served on a bed of also deep fried lettuce. He finished off the dinner with a Scottish classic, the deep fried chocolate bar, and a scoop of ice cream.

Fellow contestant Kasia was unimpressed, criticising his cooking skills and telling the production team that she’d brought along her own sandwiches in case of disaster. Guest Dorine agreed, admitting she’d be picking up some proper food on her way home.

Despite their disgust with the food and low score of only 14 points, the guests admitted they’d had an entertaining night. Darren said “I see myself as the nucleus of fun in this week’s group. Has anybody laughed as much as tonight?”

Darren admitted to the guests after dinner that his girlfriend had all but banned his culinary experiments in their new home, and that she’d told him she would change the locks if he pulled out the deep fryer in the kitchen.

Fans on Twitter were just as shocked as the contestants by the greasy menu. One viewer tweeted: “Someone please tell me they are also seeing Come Dine With Me right now and I didn't just hallucinate deep-fried lasagne.”

Come Dine With Me airs at 5.30pm on Channel 4.
