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 fruit tart, scones and a 3D animal cake for their three challenges.
The contestants braving the tent last night were X Men actor James McAvoy, singer Anne-Marie, Olympian Dame Kelly Holmes and comedian David Baddiel.
Here is Sandy Docherty’s verdict of week two’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 naturally funny. It was effortless.
“These famous people are used to be standing up in front of thousands of people and they are anxious about doing some baking in front of Paul and Prue.
“I liked the challenges, they were simple. People panic about pastry and worry about it. They all tackled it.
“I liked all of the showstoppers. I’m not sure what happened to Anne-Marie’s monkey, but you would stop and buy it if you saw it.
“James was the deserved star baker. He did really well to get it. He was genuinely happy.

“Dame Kelly Holmes was just a joy to watch. She was genuinely into it and determined.
“Anne-Marie did not take herself too seriously.
“You always need a joker and David Baddiel was that.
“Once again we have to start and end with what it’s all about, the film of the two young boys who lost their mum.
“I was proud of how the boys spoke about their mum.
“We must never forget why we are laughing and joking at the show, to raise money for charity.”
