    I'm so happy to be Star Baker! I'm such a fan of the programme, to actually win, it's a really good feeling.

    Star Baker Kimberley

  3. Who's in the running?published at 20:55 GMT 3 February 2016

    Paul reveals that Chris hasn't done quite enough to swim to the top of the pile; "I don't think he's quite come into contention for Star Baker."

    "Victoria let herself down slightly with this cake," Paul says of Victoria's Showstopper, also placing her out of the running.

    "Ed today, I thought he did very well." Paul reveals - meaning it's now a two horse race between Ed and Kimberley - but who'll be victorious in the final furlong?

    There's not long to find out now...

  4. "I think it's a very professional looking cake"published at 20:55 GMT 3 February 2016

    Can Kimberley's Kilimanjaro cake take the judges to new heights?

    "The whole effect is very exciting," Mary says, beaming over Kimberley's cake. "It's delicious."

    "The blueberry could be stronger," Paul critiques. "It's well thought out and well baked."

    "Do you know, for Sport Relief today we've had four different cakes that have been baked beautifully," Mary says, addressing the tent.

  5. "You've done a magnificent, bold ski slope"published at 20:54 GMT 3 February 2016

    Will it be full marks for Ed's seasonal concoction?

    "It has got lots of flavouring - the buttercream tastes delicious," Paul says, tucking into Ed's sponges.

    "It's interesting. The double cream makes it a lighter colour and it's a beautiful texture. I shall be trying that!" Mary smiles.

  6. "Look at his little legs!"published at 20:53 GMT 3 February 2016

    Will Chris's body boarding cake sink or swim?

    The judging beings with so much laughter from Mary and Paul that they can't form a sentence, so overcome are they with Chris's self-portrait.

    "It looks like ET has just rammed his face into that cake," Paul says.

    "It's a fine looking cake, I'll tell you that much," Paul critiques. "Chris, that is a fantastic sponge, probably one of the best I've had this year."

    Chris raises his arms and yells in celebration.

    "The only thing that lets it down is you!" Paul jokes.

    (UNBELIEVABLE, JEFF!)

  7. "The sea is wonderful"published at 20:52 GMT 3 February 2016

    Will the judges sink their teeth into Victoria's sailing bake?

    "The actual main cake I love. When you move onto the top, it's a bit simplistic, " Paul says.

    The two tuck in and Mary's jaw drops in shock; "I've come across some salt."

    "What you've managed to do is create a cake that's over salted... What you get is a salt sensation... If you had a couple of pints with it, you'd be absolutely fine."

    If only Victoria had remembered to bring her vodka with her...

  8. "Fingers off your cake now, Kimberley!"published at 20:52 GMT 3 February 2016

    Kimberley looks like a naughty schoolgirl as she's made to step away from her cake.

    Ed, meanwhile, has found just enough time to make a show of floating icing sugar over his miniature ski resort. We're hoping he takes commissions...

    "KIMBERLEY, WILL YOU GET YOUR FINGERS OFF YOUR CAKE!" Jennifer shouts, as little Kim scuttles off.

  9. "Shall I make a little Gary Barlow?"published at 20:50 GMT 3 February 2016

    Jennifer decides to help Kimberley out with her fondant mountaineers, but can't quite get her Gary together. "That's the problem with Gary - he's got such a big head."

  10. All at seapublished at 20:49 GMT 3 February 2016

    "He's been out at sea a long time, so he might be unconscious," Chris laughs at his mini me.

    Victoria's decided that she's happy with her bake and tops it with a little sail - with over 15 minutes to spare.

  11. Chris's self portrait refuses to budgepublished at 20:47 GMT 3 February 2016

    Chris attempts to shift his sculpture, but it's proving tricky; he's literally falling apart.

    Victoria's buttercream looks like it might capsize her suspect looking boat

    Kimberley's spray painting her base with golden sand.

    Ed's nearly completed the top of his ski jump - and it's looking pretty sturdy!

  12. SPOT THE SQUIRREL!published at 20:46 GMT 3 February 2016

    Well, would you look at that! Another squirrel, another golden opportunity to request that you make a donation, external to Sport Relief.

  13. Chris's wifely advicepublished at 20:46 GMT 3 February 2016

    "Don't make a fool of yourself" Chris's wife told him before he entered the Bake Off tent.

    "Well it's too late for that!" Jennifer points out.

  14. Victoria throws Chris to the sharkspublished at 20:46 GMT 3 February 2016

    Chris has managed to turn out three impressive sponges, although he's concerned about running out of icing sugar.

    Victoria, on the other hand, is concerned about Chris in general, claiming his choice of body boarding isn't as extreme as hers. "It's just paddling!" she claims.

  15. "What else have you done, cake-wise?"published at 20:46 GMT 3 February 2016

    "Is this the sort of thing you do for your kids?" Jennifer Saunders asks children's cake decorator Ed.

    On Ed's roster of creative cakes are, it turns out, a pirate ship, a cheeseburger and... an iPad.

  16. "The icing is so salty!"published at 20:45 GMT 3 February 2016

    Victoria's delighted with her sea salt icing, but decides to push things even further by sprinkling more of the stuff into her buttercream. "Just for the crunch of the sea," she explains.

    It's a shame she didn't get a chance to learn from Maddy's "pinch" last week. This may not end well...

  18. Decoration beginspublished at 20:43 GMT 3 February 2016

    The tent transforms into the set of Pingu as the bakers start to create fondant figurines. Kimberley's sense of camaraderie is strong as she helps Chris - who can't quite get his surfboard shaped.

    "She knows I'm not a threat!" He laughs.
