Come Dine With MeCome Dine With Me, A YOUNG Burnley businesswoman is to cook up a storm when she appears on the hit TV show “Come Dine With Me’’. Talented Jenna Tattersall was chosen to appear on the show, where ordinary people take turns to host a dinner party for four other guests to win a £1,000 cash prize.

But you will have to watch the show, on Channel Four on Monday, January 16th, at 5-30 p.m. and running for five nights, to find out how she fared.

Jenna, of Lingmoor Drive, said: “The other people were from Blackburn and one was from Whalley. They tried to create some arguments between us because of the rivalry of the Clarets and Rovers but as none of us were really interested in football it didn’t really work.

“Some of the other people were quite loud and opinionated in front of the cameras but I hope I come across as being able to hold my corner.

“They filmed for 19 hours so it was exhausting and I feel a bit nervous about how it may be edited.”

The other contestants had to guess what Jenna’s job was and none of them hit the right answer.

At just 27 she runs her own company, First European Logistics, now in its third year of trading. Based on Empire Business Park in Liverpool Road, Burnley, Jenna won the Best Start Up Category in Burnley Business Awards. Not bad for someone who left school at 16 with hardly any qualifications.

Jenna, who lives with her boyfriend, Aaron Bancroft, who makes horticultural sensors, said: “I only got a couple of GCSEs and went straight into sales which I discovered I enjoyed. It was while working for a logistics company that I decided to go it alone. One of my customers offered to be a backer and since then the business has flourished and he acts as a silent partner.
