Come Dine With Me star from 'sad little life Jane' rant made a final insult that was cut from the show

One of the most iconic reality TV moments could have been even bigger and better.

Channel 4's Come Dine With Me has provided TV viewers with some of the best memes, some questionable looking recipes and some moments of pure TV gold.

One particular Come Dine With Me moment that TV viewers won't ever forget came from contestant Peter Marsh, who seven years ago came out with the perfect retort while insulting a fellow diner.

Not only did his dead pan delivery see the moment become enshrined in TV history but it sparked thousands of memes, using his now infamous speech: "Enjoy the money, I hope it makes you very happy. Dear lord, what a sad little life, Jane."

Yet, it turns out his rant was even longer, as he actually said more but it was lost during the editing of the 2016 TV show.

The actual moment came at the end of the week as the four contestants gathered to see who had won for the Channel 4 show, with Peter given the role of reading out the rankings from last to first to his fellow diners Jane, Adam and Charlotte.

Unrolling the scroll with the results, Peter announced: "In fourth place is me."

A shocked Peter then shook his head as Jane responded: "I don't know why you're shaking your head at me."

Peter's then infamous rant began as he said: "You won, Jane. Enjoy the money, I hope it makes you very happy. Dear lord, what a sad little life, Jane.

"You ruined my night completely, so you could have the money. But I hope now you spend it on some lessons in grace and decorum, because you have all the grace of a reversing dump truck without any tyres on."

The other diners were left in shock at his words, with Charlotte adding: "I don't get it."

An angry Peter then dealt his final blows as he hit out: "Well, you wouldn't. Let's be honest, there's nobody in there, love. So Jane, take your money and get off my property."

However, there were a few sentences missing from the iconic scene. Adam Mastroianni, who was also in the same group as Peter, has revealed Peter's tirade was actually longer.

Speaking to the Independent, Adam described the experience as 'surreal'. He said: "In fact, I couldn’t look directly at it – that’s why I was staring off into the distance during his whole rant.

"You can see me look up at one point to make eye contact with the producer, as if to plead with him, ‘Can’t you shut the camera off?’ Of course they wouldn't, because the producers were probably getting exactly what they wanted."

"His words to me at the end of his rant, which didn’t make the cut, were, 'Adam... you’re very funny, your food wasn’t great, it’s been a pleasure.'"

Following the TV moment becoming an instant hit with viewers, Peter was said to have been inundated with offers to appear on TV screens again but he's always declined.

At the time the episode aired, he told The Mirror: "What’s shown is not all that happens and people will believe what they’re shown."
