According to Daily Mirror - 3am Showbiz, she has a sweet tooth. The exact challenges she will face on the show and how she performs remain unknown. Mark Wright, who had never baked before, not even a cupcake according to his own account, made Spanish-inspired rolls for the first challenge.

According to Daily Mail - Home, Mark Wright described his lack of baking experience by saying he had never baked, not even a cupcake in his life. Mutya Buena made cheese, garlic, and spinach rolls with chilli for the first challenge. For the showstopper challenge, she created a vinyl orange zest cake.

No, I’m not much of a cook, but I can bake a decent cake, and if I have ripe bananas on the side, I’m the kind of girl that will whip up a quick banana bread. I love baking things for special occasions, like birthday cakes for friends.

Other celebrities also crafted cakes representing their most ridiculous purchases for the showstopper challenge. Mark Wright made a swimming pool cake representing a pool he bought for his home. According to Daily Mail - Home, Mark Wright described the pool as pointless, just there to look at, and too expensive to heat.

Ralf Little made a Rolex watch cake representing a stolen watch. Nella Rose made a bling ring cake from red velvet and cream frosting. Emmett J Scanlan made a Jaffa cake as a joke about his wife being his most ridiculous purchase.

I’m very lazy when it comes to everyday cooking, so I feel like I don’t have many disasters because I don’t make much effort to actually cook! My triumphs have been my daughter’s birthday cakes – they’ve always gone well, and she always loves them. And I can make a really good banana bread, I’m quite known in my family for that.

Whether other celebrities besides those mentioned participated in the same heat or if there were additional heats is unclear. The technical challenge required making vegan fruit tarts. The showstopper challenge required making a cake representing the celebrity's most ridiculous purchase.

The full list of judges' comments for all bakers, beyond the snippets provided, has not been disclosed. According to Daily Mail - Home, judges described one cake's buttercream as having a little bit of graininess but overall being a great eat. Cherish Finden described another cake as airy, light, moist, with Va Va Voom, while Paul Hollywood called it pretty good.

That kind of thing! If I could emulate that in the tent, I’ll be very happy. That took me about two days to make, so if I can whip something like that up in a few hours, I will be over the moon! I have this tradition where every year she’s allowed to pick a cake from this cookbook I have. My mum did the same thing for me when I was young. She can pick any cake she wants, even if it’s the most intricate cake you’ve ever seen, and I will give it a good go.
