Paul Hollywood left blushing after Sue Perkins makes dig at his willy size in Great British Bake Off

August 2024 · 3 minute read

PAUL Hollywood is left red-faced on the Christmas episodes of Great British Bake Off - as Sue Perkins makes a sly dig about his willy size.

The 50-year-old silver fox has never been short of being the butt of a joke or two - but when Sue is presented with the opportunity to make a killer dig, she couldn't help herself but oblige in one of the two upcoming Christmas specials.

The specials will see a host of faces from past series return for another shot at baking glory - including keen gardner James Morton, who made the finals in 2012.

Keen to impress the judges and presenters, James shows of a king-sized radish once he's back in the tent, which comes in at an impressive 8.5 inches.

Cheeky Sue, who is known for her witty remarks, simply can't help herself as she announces to Paul: "He is still getting over eight inches - such things are still possible, Paul!"

The two episodes will be the final in the show's run on the BBC - after the Bake Off was bought by Channel 4 in a 3-year, £75million deal.

It will also be the last time that the Bake Off team - comprised of Paul, Sue, Mary Berry and Mel Giedroyc - after only Paul decided to move with the show to its new home.

But that  won't stop the crew from making sure the show goes out with a bang, with presenters Mel and Sue looking like right puddings in the trailer dressed up as the festive dessert.

LATEST FROM TV & SHOWBIZ

The Sun revealed two of the fan favourites who will be gracing the show once more - with four favourites returning for each episode.

Beloved series four star Howard Middleton is making a comeback in the second special, a baker well remembered for his inadvertent mishaps in the tent.

These included host Sue Perkins elbowing one of his freshly baked muffins and fellow baker Deborah Manger stealing his custard.

Each of the specials sees the bakers face three festive challenges.

They will start with the signature challenge, and in the first episode Paul and Mary want them to bake some highly decorative Christmas bakes that require intricate icing. In the second episode the judges require a savoury signature to get the Christmas party started.

Next comes the technical challenge. In the first special, Mary's recipe will result in a stunning bake decorated with chocolate snowflakes and in the second, Paul will be hoping the bakers create his bread creation to perfection.

Finally there is the showstopper challenge.  Bakers must produce a suitably stunning and festive masterpiece with a Christmas theme.

Who will win the final Great British Bake Off on the BBC?

Catch The Great Christmas Bake Off on BBC1 - Christmas Day at 4.45pm and Boxing Day at 7pm.
