IT’S GOING TO BE A CRACKER
THE GREAT CHRISTMAS BAKE OFF 2020 Christmas Eve, Channel 4, 7.40pm
ANY show that starts with Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith dressed as Santa and Mrs Claus, with Tom Allen and Matt Lucas as their merry elves, is worthy of attention.
Consider this the boozy aperitif to Christmas, with four familiar faces competing in festive challenges to win Christmas Star Baker.
Jamie and Rosie from 2019, Ruby from 2018 and James from 2017 are back and ready to face their fondantfilled demons.
Highlights from a bauble-bedecked tent include panic over panettone and posh microwave puds (yes really!), illusion showstoppers and a song from Alexandra Burke.
