Great Celebrity Bake Off viewers 'in bits' at widow's heartbreaking cancer story

The Great British Bake Off returned on Sunday night (April 16) with another special episode on Channel 4 in aid of Stand Up To Cancer. Deborah Meaden, Jay Blades, Judi Love and Mike Wozniak entered the tent for the Great Celebrity Bake Off, putting their kitchen skills to the test in a series of challenges.

The celebrities were tasked with making cheesecakes and a vegan version of a barbecue classic before recreating their first celebrity crush in the showstopper. But the charity element meant there was a serious message too - as viewers discovered.
