Soggy bottoms in the sun

PAUL HOLLYWOOD posted this ominous photograph of the new Bake Off team, revealing that it was taken on the ‘hottest day in the Bake Off Tent ever’.

Clearly, we can look forward to weeping muffins, flaky Danish pastries, collapsed tarts and disappointing buns.

I don’t expect the baking will be up to much either. Look at this lot! They exude the charisma of inmates from a high-security old folks facility who have escaped with their minder and are waiting at a bus stop for number 45 to the bingo hall.

It does not bode well for the new series on C4, does it?
