C4, 8pm THE bakers in this series have been chosen well – they’re all game for a laugh and fun to watch.

In this episode, Loose Woman Stacey Solomon whispers to camera, “I hate him”, as Paul Hollywood lurks menacingly behind her shoulder.

Countdown’s Nick Hewer, formerly Lord Sugar’s henchman, knows the tables have now turned: “I am the prey.”

Meanwhile, Diversity dancer Perri Kiely (the one whose hair is bigger than him) is trying to count scones but knows his limits: “I’m a dancer, I can only count to eight.”

And there’s competitiveness from The Kaiser Chiefs’ Ricky Wilson: “It would be unusual if one didn’t want to win.”

The bakers attempt 24 identical scones, followed by a devilish technical challenge and finally a croquembouche – a big sticky tower of choux pastry balls. And these have to be a self-portrait.

One in particular is so hilariously bad, Hollywood cries actual tears of laughter.
