Any embarrassing moments we should be made aware of?
Ian: Lots of Ian's one liner's! Pound one out, said to Aaron G re singing... Ian getting muddled up with duchess potatoes and Dauphinoise potatoes, this wasn't shown on film but an epic fail!
Sandie: Undone buttons on Ian's shirts (I liked it though).
What was the best thing you ate while on the show?
Ian: Aaron and Josh's Tuna and their chicken, Boca Loca, The Venison without the sauce! Sandie: The girls ravioli would be a favourite, would have liked to have tried lots more through the challenges...
And the worst?
Ian: The Cauliflower Purees and Pumpkin Pie
Sandie: Pumpkin Pie

Sandie: I didn't find either to be tough, they gave constructive feedback on the whole.
What's the best piece of behind-the-scenes gossip you can give us?
Ian: First day, before Aaron and Heather's, we were all told not to talk to each other, they wanted that done around the table, that lasted about 3 mins with us and Aaron G and Josh, who brought us a beer and wine and we just started forming a lasting friendship... sort of ignored the rules!

Sandie: Had to ask permission to go to the toilet, and or fresh air break. All phones were confiscated in the last IR...
