The specials will be aired across the week from 19th October at 7.30pm

To celebrate 25 years of Hollyoaks, five past and present cast members will take it in turns to throw a three-course dinner party that none of them will ever forget. But this is no ordinary supper - as the guests are secretly scoring the host and at the end of the week the top-scoring host wins £1000 for charity.

Brushing up on their dinner party skills are Gary Lucy, Ruby O'Donnell, Rishi Nair, Jorgie Porter and Jeremy Edwards. They'll be dusting off the tableware and cooking up three delicious courses whilst hosting memorable dinner party entertainment in the hope of scooping the charity cash.

Stripped across the week at 7.30pm on E4 from the 19th October, we'll see Gary (Hollyoaks' Luke Morgan) wing his way through an American Diner inspired party, whilst Jorgie  - who has recently re-joined the Hollyoaks cast as Theresa McQueen - will transport us back to the 90s for her Hip-Hop night, serving sass and her posh version of beans on toast. Ruby (Hollyoaks' Peri Lomax) will jet us off to Ireland for the traditional Irish pub experience and Rishi (who plays Sami Maalik) will dish up drama and dinner on the set of Hollyoaks. On the final night, it will be hosted by the man who started it all   – Jeremy Edwards who played original Hollyoaks heartthrob Kurt Benson and is set to return to the soap this month. He'll be rounding off the week with his 25th Anniversary celebration.

Whose food will get the big thumbs down and who will bag the £1,000 for charity? Find out when Hollyoaks does Celebrity Come Dine With Me arrives on E4 from the 19th October.

REVIEW: She Sees Red - Xbox One

She Sees Red is an interactive thriller, or FMV (A full motion video, video game). Think of this as a movie that you control, as you watch you will come to a scene whereby two choices are given in a quick time event, so you are given a few seconds to decide how the film will continue.

In She Sees Red multiple people have been killed at a nightclub, a detective has been assigned the case and you watch as she follows the clues to find out the truth and hopefully solve the case.

There are 4 different endings in this, and 62 scenes to see if you want to see it all.
