Come Dine with Me

The £1000 prize offered to the winner of each cooking week has remained unchanged throughout the show's history. While still a fairly substantial amount, it's notable that inflation has made this change from a considerable sum and just into something of a nice bonus.

By the inflation standards of 2024, then £1000 when the show began in 2005 would have been worth the equivalent of around £1800. Conversely, if the earliest contestants were winning the equivalent of £1000 by the rate of 2024, it would only have been worth around £550.
