Sorry Harry, Martin’s simply comedy Gold

- IANHYLAND on last night’s telly

Harry Hill may have won the baking battle on Channel 4 last night but Martin Kemp won the comedy war. The Spandau Ballet bassist’s anecdote on The Great Celebrity Bake Off about arriving for Live Aid in a helicopter piloted by Noel Edmonds was worth the entrance money alone. But he topped that with a glorious display of showbiz pettiness as he presented his showstoppe­r.

Having spent hours crafting a biscuit-based depiction of Spandau playing their Live Aid set he removed the Tony Hadley gingerbrea­d man because “he left the band”.

Whether this was genuine bitterness or simply New Romantic banter didn’t really matter. It was very funny – and Prue and Paul seemed shocked enough.

They were left equally open-mouthed by Harry’s attempt at re-creating the best day of his life. The Day I Went On Holiday With Camilla Parker Bowles featured a giant rainbow, a turtle, a horse on a surfboard and Camilla in a swimsuit.
