Eating with My Ex is serving up two celebrity specials this week.

The BBC Three show sees former couples reunited over dinner to pick over the bones of their failed relationships. The new season launched on BBC Three earlier this year and episodes that are currently available to watch include a guy who wants to confront his ex-girlfriend over cheating with one of his mates, a harsh revelation over what exactly happened on a lads’ holiday in Zante and the man who unashamedly hopes to gain a friend with benefits.

Now, alongside the often awkward and revealing questions being served up on their plates, new, starry ingredients are being added to ensure that Eating With My Ex delivers plenty more heart-warming, funny and authentic encounters. The first of the celebrity specials, sees reality TV star Jemma Lucy reunite with ex-boyfriend, TV presenter Stephen Bear, to confront him over his alleged cheating, but will he finally admit to his mistakes? And West End musical inspiration drag queen Jamie Campbell meets up with his ex-boyfriend, Chad, to apologise for the way he ended their relationship.

The second celebrity episode sees Love Island’s Sam Bird reunite for a meal with his ex-girlfriend, Elle, in Norwich. Sam hasn’t seen the part-time model, since he ghosted her and left for the villa. She wants to meet him again, but is Sam ready to pick up where they left off? And comedian London Hughes is meeting her ex from seven years ago, fellow comic Tommy. Will she be able to get to the bottom of all the rumours about his sexuality?

The two episodes are available on BBC iPlayer now.
