EastEnder, podcaster, Strictly star, Loose Woman and now – perhaps – star baker? Natalie Cassidy has said she is "honoured" to be taking part in The Great British Bake Off ’s festive special The Great Christmas Bake Off. Natalie will be taking part in the show, together with her on-screen brother Dean Gaffney – best known as Walford bad boy Robbie Fowler.
This year’s crop of celebrities – which alongside Natalie and Dean includes Corrie’s Shobna Gulati and Sheree Murphy from Emmerdale – will be asked put their own spin on the traditional yule log. The show’s technical challenge will see them craft delicate Christmas trees using meringue. There’s much speculation about which classic stories will be revisited, with a show source telling the Mirror: "Will Wellard make an appearance?
Natalie says she’s eager to use some of the skills she picked up under Paul Hollywood’s guidance when it comes to her own Christmas dinner. “I do the turkey, the veg, a mean roast potato and a very good stuffing,” she told Woman's Own.
