Hayley says: "This is a new thing, I’m kind of into Bake Off"
“I don’t watch this because my general rule for life is, if it involves a tent, I’m not coming... and I don’t like cooking shows.
“I sat there watching this getting ready to hate it – and I actually quite liked it. I was texting Scott and I was getting really stressed.
“Producer Calum says this is supposed to be a 'relaxing, pleasant and pleasurable watch' – but I was so stressed I don’t know why people put themselves through this thing.
“I’d always assumed I wouldn’t like it – I got so involved.
“I was furious not to find out who got through and who lost.
“I didn’t think I would care – but this is a new thing, I’m kind of into Bake Off.
“It was more exciting than I thought it was going to be – I’d say watch it. Give it a go.”

Scott says: "It is a must watch from me"
“It works for Channel 4 - it’s not the massive hit it used to be since it flipped over.
“They haven’t changed too much of it, they’ve kept the format.
“The hosts – Sandi [Toksvig] and Noel [Fielding] – have really gained confidence. It feels like they are in their element.
“It’s such an odd pairing – but Noel has really embraced that and he's seeing how far he can take it.
“At the end of the first series he hosted, there was a Mighty Boosh reference – and the entirety of the last series was in Mighty Boosh style.
“It is a must watch from me.”
