Don't get drunk the night before

It's back, it's finally back! 10 months after Rahul was given the 2018 Bake Off crown, Bake With A Legend founder Josh Landy, sits down with former contestants Howard Middleton and Jane Beedle to reflect on not only the week that was in the tent (furry gardens and all) but also to reminisce over the many hilarious stories from their time in the tent. It's a fascinating insight into what goes on when you're on the other side of the camera.
