Stacey Solomon has been supported by her family and friends after making her presenting debut on Bake Off: The Professionals. The Loose Women star has replaced comedian Tom Allen as the host of the Great British Bake Off spin-off alongside Liam Charles.
Tom announced his departure from Bake Off: The Professionals in February, saying it was "time to move on" before Stacey's appointment as co-host of the show was then announced. Bake Off: The Professionals said in a social media post: "Choux la la! We're chuffed to announce that @StaceySolomon will be joining @LiamCBakes, @BenoitBlinMCA, @Cherish_Finden and for the next series of Bake Off: The Professionals. Welcome to the petit fours-ome, Stacey! #GBBO."
While her first appearance on the Channel 4 show, which sees industry chefs compete instead of amateur bakers, left viewers divided, Stacey was sharing her pre-show nerves with her millions of followers before best friend, cleaning queen Mrs Hinch - aka Sophie Hinchliffe - came to her rescue.
