The Tent swing open for four more celebrities arrived ready to show their baking credentials. James McAvoy, Anne-Marie, David Baddiel and Dame Kelly Holmes make signature decorative tarts, a savoury technical, and brought out their spirit animals in cake form in the showstopper!


As ever, Bake Off legends Howard Middleton and Jane Beedle were on hand to give their expert opinion, as our new host Emily returned alongside special guest former finalist Ian Cumming.
