The Great British Bake Off 2020: episode one – live

There’s also Peter, who says that he picked up a tip from watching John Whaite in the third series of Bake Off (when he was 10!

Under no circumstances will I allow the erasure in history of the greatest ‘cake whisperer’ of Bake Off: Val, who also once declared that she bakes “a bakewell tart every week.”
