Oh crumbs! Carrie and her pals serve up a soggy bottom

- By Charlotte Griffiths EDITOR AT LARGE

CARRIE JOHNSON joined a gaggle of pals to try her hand at a great British bake off on Friday night, declaring: ‘We came. We baked. We didn’t win.’

The wife of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson is clearly embracing life outside of Downing Street, as she pitched up at the trendy Big Bake in East London.

She was joined by five friends, making up three teams of two, to compete in a timed baking competitio­n in a marquee-style tent made to look like Channel 4’s famous Bake Off set.

One of 34-year-old Carrie’s team-mates was Lynn Anderson Clark, the wife of Princess Beatrice’s ex Dave Clark.

They baked a festive blue coconut and marshmallo­w ‘snow’ cake complete with two snowmen and a Christmas tree, which was shared on social media. Mrs Johnson told her 50,000 followers: ‘We came. We baked. We didn’t win. Not even close. We laughed A LOT’, adding the hashtag ‘soggy bottom’ in a nod to the TV show’s famous expression.
