BakeOff's Paul Hollywood transforms into 'Darth Baker' for StarWars opening GBBO
At the start of the episode, Paul Hollywood, Prue Leith, Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas transformed into several iconic characters for a pun-filled opening.
Noel, 49, then appeared as Princess Layer Cake, a play on Princess Leia, with Prue, 82, entering as Pruebacca, a play on Chewbacca. Taking to Twitter, one person said: "The way I just laughed at Flan Solo proves how much the return of lovely lovely @BritishBakeOff is needed #GBBO."While a different show watcher added: "Starting off the season with a Star Wars - Bake Off crossover was the best decision ever made #GBBO."During the opening episode, the contestants had to create mini sandwich cakes, a red velvet cake and a showstopper 3D replica of their home.
Will, 45, a former charity director from London, failed to impress the judges with his "messy' and "bland" ginger and caramel squares.
