WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS
THE Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer continued with an all-star line-up.
The bakers had to tackle a vegetable cake, Queen of puddings and a 3D cake featuring them at their workplace for their three challenges.
The contestants braving the tent last night were rapper Dizzee Rascal, agony aunt Philippa Perry, DJ Nick Grimshaw and comedian Reece Shearsmith.
Here is Sandy Docherty’s verdict of week three’s episode, as she continues her weekly Telegraph & Argus column which will be online each Wednesday morning while the series is on.
Sandy took part in the 2015 series and is the child protection and welfare officer at Titus Salt School in Baildon.

She said: “It was good fun.
“This year they have picked people really up for a laugh, but they are all genuinely delighted with the comments . They have really held Paul And Prue in high regard.
“It was lovely to see all four bakers delighted with the comments they got.
“Reece is incredibly funny. I have seen him in some serious stuff. When somebody you have seen in a serious role, it’s funny to look at them differently.
“Philippa can do a bit of baking. Her showstopper was fabulous.
The wait for normal life to resume. 🙏 #GBBO pic.twitter.com/i2bMEadOKy

“All four of those showstoppers could have been in the main tent.
“Nick was my clown. Dizzee Rascal was quirky. I liked Nick because he didn’t take himself too seriously.
“All of the challenges were great. I thought I want to go and try the Queen of Puddings after they did it as the technical.
“The story in there of Clint was heart-breaking.
Thanks for watching tonight’s Bake Off and helping us to bake a difference for a great cause! Until next week, mind how you dough. #GBBO pic.twitter.com/qWSPZtB9vE

“They filmed it in 2012 and he is still with us nearly 10 years on. Those boys must be 12 or 14 now.
“It was really poignant. We got to see one whole story and the journey he has been on.
“We have to start and end with what it’s all about really; just give what you can because it’s the only way to help to find a cure for cancer.”
