    Agreed. I’m not normally gone on the celeb GBBO but I did enjoy last nights episode. All 4 of the bakers actually made really good attempts at their bakes.

    Such a coincidence the lads were in school together-or was that a joke?

    Great fun, love Tom Allen he is so quick witted.
    Probably up there with Harry Hill as the most fun contestant for me.

    I wondered the same so I looked it up - there's only a year or two between them in age, and they and the guy who played Bradley Branning in Eastenders, who is a year or two younger than Rob, all attended the same school at the same time!

    I really enjoyed that and will definitely watch the rest. Good laugh in the middle of lockdown. Rob was surprisingly good, close call between himself and Alexandra.
    How did they cope with the Covid restrictions, although living in the UK they've probably all had their vaccinations. It'll be next year's GBBO before we get ours.

    Daily testing I'd say, and limiting movements. I read somewhere that it was filmed late last year, in which case the vaccines probably hadn't been rolled out!

    Loved last weeks show.


    This week's lot are just annoying me - particularly Anne Marie (who IS she? I've googled her and still have no idea!).



    And James McAvoy had better get his act together sharpish or..... well, I don't know, but I'm just a bit disappointed in him :(

    Awh I really enjoyed it!!

    Anne Marie is a singer...2002 is one of her popular songs. She was quite giddy or something. It did start to bug me a bit towards the end.

    Loved the other 3! David was gas...he honestly just gave up before he started really!
    The others were very good.

    Thankfully I had jam and buttercream swiss roll this week. Get so hungry watching it!!:D

    I think he was one of his characters in "Split"....i was frightened by some of his looks at camera...he' seems a very edgy person....and a bit OCD maybe..

    I assume you mean JJ or KSI.

    Modern day celebrity, i.e. a Youtuber.

    I thought it was a hilarious episode. The cherry bakewell had me in stitches.

    When Matt started calling Paul 'thingy' was one of the funniest things I've seen on any epsiode of GBBO. Up there with James Acaster's breakdown when he was on it.

    Jj was brilliant. I cracked up at the pie flip and the moment of realisation. Im not familiar with his YouTube but he was on Louis Theroux's podcast and seemed a decent sort.

    I'm suprised at next week's batch of celebs because I was convinced Nadine Coyle had done it already. Maybe I'm just thinking of the "flour" video.

    I notice that the only episode which hasn't been commented on so far is the one two weeks back, won by Reece Shearsmith. That's kind of understandable as they were all pretty competent! Especially Reece and Philippa Perry.

    Think the celebrity version needs to have a few car crashes to make it fun. And in this case the candidates who might have been funnier were focused on getting that apron.

    I see tonight's episode is a repeat - I wonder did Covid do for them in the end?


    And of all the repeats they could show, they have to pick the one with Russell Brand in it :mad: He'd be about on the same level as Nadine Coyle on my dislikeability scale.....



    As much as I want to see Jon Lithgow again, I'm off to read a book.....

    Didn't realise it was a repeat until I switched it on. BBC for me. All that glitters is new!
