As Channel 4 are going to be hosting Stand Up To Cancer soon, they have been showing a variety of programs that are also raising money for the cause. My favourite of these is Celebrity Great British Bake Off, as it is hilarious. I am a Bake Off fan anyway, but I like the celebrity one even better.
Each week, 4 celebrities (often comedians) with various amounts of baking experience tackle 3 challenging tasks, with limited amounts of success. This year there has been so many disasters, especially in the technical challenge, and I have been in hysterics watching Paul's face when he sees what they have made. The biscuits that looked like a Jackson Pollock produced a particularly special reaction! Nick Hewer also had quite a few problems.
What is really lovely about it though is that some of them genuinely improve. Lee Mack started off producing bakes that were inedible, but by the showstopper managed to do surprisingly well. However, Nick Hewer also struggled, but did not manage to pull it out the bag later on. Some of the celebrities do actually make some impressive bakes, a few of which even got Hollywood handshakes!
The show is on at 8pm every Tuesday on Channel 4, and you can watch the previous episodes on All 4. Have you been watching Celebrity Bake Off?
