I’m very excited for Philippa Perry, just because I think she is the first contestant to pipe the word “HELP” on her bake. Thanks so much for reading and commenting. It’s the highlight of our week. See you next Tuesday. Next week we have MC Dizzee Rascal, radio DJ Nick Grimshaw, psychologist Philippa Perry and actor-writer Reece Shearsmith. Looks like Nick has a lovely shirt on, so that’s something to look forward to. See you then! I honestly thought it was going to be Kelly - but if the past 70 minutes have taught us anything, I’ll never say no to a McAvoy. Well done to James, very well deserved. What a cracking episode that was - the right level of chaos for a Tuesday night. The Star Baker is... JAMES MCAVOY! “And the next thing I knew I was pregnant.” So delighted James had won. What a treat. This has been a truly delightful bunch. What a lovely episode. Kelly’s personal connection to the cause really brought it home, too. Plus it would have been a challenge like ‘come up with a 4D edible marble cake that I once saw in a dream etc. It"s the final judging. I resent the judge’s insinuation that these cakes would’ve been welcome in the main series, when we all know they’d have been torn apart. Wish I’d made this joke. “If they could’ve just not cut into it and not try it, then I might have won”. Can relate, Anne-Marie. No idea who is going to win, really. Anne-Marie’s cake looked great but was inedible. David’s communist cake was terrifying. It’s a toss up between Kelly and James. Kelly’s chocolate chilli cake seems to have gone down well which is great - particularly considering that the judges tend to get touchy about spicy food. Not that I’m bitter about it. If I had time (and I do) I would make a video of every squeal this episode. It has been utterly delightful. “This is not a pleasure to eat”, says Prue. “But it looks nice?” asks Anne-Marie, ever the optimist. Anne Marie’s looks really, really good. Would make a montage of her excitable, high-pitched squeals. I think James’s Leopard looks quite good, actually? Apart from the gash at the back (careful). “The cake is… um… decorated”, says Paul. Not the most encouraging start for David there. “I’m never going to do this again”, he sighs. It’s the THREE DIMENSIONAL animal Showstopper judging. Paul Hollywood is horrified at David Baddiel’s attempt at a gay-nache. If David can, so can you. Just when we forgot about the ‘pr**g*sm’ thanks
