Great British Bake Off host Matt Lucas has hit back at claims judge Paul Hollywood showed him 'favouritism' whilst competing in the tent on the latest episode. The comedian who usually hosts the Channel 4 show alongside The Mighty Boosh star Noel Fielding, had to switch roles from presenter to contestant on Tuesday night's The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer after a celeb dropped out at the last minute.
The Little Britain star stepped up to the challenge and took one for the team as he joined former Radio 1 DJ Annie Mac, comedian Ed Gamble and rapper Example in the tent as a competitor in a Bake Off first. He received a helping hand from co-star and judge Paul with kneading his dough and later received a Hollywood Handshake for his Arsenal-inspired glass window biscuits despite fellow judge Prue trying to bat away Paul's hand.
