00:25and also tonight we are talking about the return of celebrity bake-off with comedian Roisin Conaty
00:30plus Dougray Scott and his co-star Carmel Lenedo are going to be telling us all about a must-see
00:35family drama this spring
00:37plus Nikki has got advice for anybody traveling abroad this Easter
00:40Yes, are we telling you about an airline leaving some customers in limbo over the holidays as it cancels its
00:47transatlantic routes
00:48and why are some former customers of Sky being billed hundreds of pounds for contracts they've cancelled
00:55Oh, thank you Nikki, that's coming up very soon
00:58and as we mentioned we're joined tonight by two of the stars of a new BBC family drama
01:03now one was cast in Mission Impossible 2 by Tom Cruise himself
01:07and the other got their big break alongside Robert Downey Jr. in Doolittle
01:12but tonight Dougray Scott and Carmel Lenedo will be telling us all about teaming up for the highly anticipated drama
01:18Crookhaven
01:19about a secret school for thieves think Harry Potter but for crooks
01:24and joining them is comedian Roisin Conaty who's taking part in the new series of the great celebrity bake-off
01:30for Stand Up To Cancer
01:31which is back this Sunday and I think it's safe to say that things were off to a rocky start
01:36for Roisin
01:40Oh, you are a shame
01:42I've had a matcha mistake
01:44Look at state of hers already
01:46Who's state of that?
01:48Oh no
01:49Oof, she'll be telling us all about that and why she thinks that Bob Mortimer has got a target on
01:55his back
01:55in the brand new series of Last One Laughing
01:57Also tonight in a one-show exclusive we'll be catching up with the five finalists of the Longitude Prize on
02:03Dementia
02:04who developed revolutionary technologies to help people live in with it
02:08Yes, but only one invention can take home the Β£1 million prize
02:12and tonight Annika Rice exclusively reveals the winner and finds out how the invention is giving hope to others
02:18So all of that coming up
02:20plus if you're a fan of the iconic 90s drama This Life
02:23we have got some news that you don't want to miss
02:26But first we started with Nicky and the issues with Sky
02:29Yes, now from next month household bills are set to rise for millions of people
02:34So imagine being sent a bill for hundreds of pounds for a service you no longer use
02:40Well, that's what's happened to these customers
02:45Ending your TV or broadband contract should be easy
02:50But customers from one company in particular are telling us it's been a nightmare trying to escape
02:56Some customers of Sky say they're hitting dead ends and going round in circles after they've cancelled their contracts
03:03but still received bills
03:05They say it feels as if there's just no way out
03:10Amanda from Tunbridge has been a customer of Sky for 22 years
03:14when she decided to switch her broadband and landline in December 2024
03:19She was on a rolling monthly contract so she shouldn't have been charged anything to leave
03:24Yet Sky was still charging her
03:27So you noticed then that money was still coming out of your account?
03:30My husband noticed that we were still paying and he said we need to ring up again
03:34So they promised to cancel it again and they said we'd get a refund
03:37But instead of a refund Sky continued to take direct debit payments
03:43Totalling Β£400 over the next 11 months
03:46Despite four letters from Sky confirming the cancellation
03:51Amanda felt she had no option but to cancel the direct debit
03:55But she hasn't been refunded for the money taken and she's now anxious that cancelling it herself
04:01Could lead to debt collectors chasing her for payment
04:04I mean how have you found this whole situation Amanda?
04:08It's our money that we're both working full time to provide for our family
04:12And we're paying up for something we're not getting
04:14It's just been really stressful
04:18And other people are worried too
04:20Watchdog has received more reports of cases of Sky billing people after they've cancelled their contract
04:26Than any other provider over the last five months
04:30Whilst lots of people have been chased by Sky
04:33Some have had the additional threat of debt collectors demanding money on behalf of the company
04:39Sarah from Royal Wotton Bassett cancelled her landline, broadband and TV at the end of her contract
04:45But Sky continued to send her bills
04:48You had no Sky services then at all at that point?
04:52No, and we were surprised that we got another bill for Β£191
04:56When it came to October we were really surprised about the bill that we received for Β£218
05:03Aderant that she didn't owe anything
05:05Sarah refused to pay the bills
05:07But she recently began receiving letters from a debt collector on behalf of Sky
05:12I was getting phone calls from the debt collection agents nearly every other day
05:17How do you feel about the way you've been treated?
05:20I've lost faith and trust and I will never go back to Sky
05:25We've also been hearing how hard it is to contest these charges
05:29Janet from South Wales went with a new provider in December
05:32Which said it would switch her over
05:34But again, Sky kept billing her
05:37They had taken a monthly payment in January and a monthly payment in February
05:44And now I've added demand for the payment for March
05:50When she called to complain, Janet found it difficult getting past Sky's automated phone service
05:55To speak with a member of staff
05:57All we need to do is set up a payment method in time for your next payment due date
06:02If you are ready to set this up now, please hold
06:06Otherwise, please call us back later when you are ready
06:09It makes you extremely worried because I can't speak to anybody to stop these payments
06:18So we tried to get answers from Sky on their behalf
06:22It told us it takes reports like these extremely seriously
06:26It's apologised for the impact on Amanda, Sarah and Janet
06:30Stating that it took the correct initial action
06:32But acknowledged that in some cases
06:34The cancellations were not processed as smoothly as they should have been
06:38Which led to continued billing
06:40Sky said it has now resolved each case
06:43And offered goodwill gestures
06:44It also told us it has strengthened its internal processes
06:48To reduce the likelihood of incorrect billing happening again
06:52Sky, when someone is no longer your customer
06:55It's not right for you to continue taking money from their accounts
06:59And make them worry about debt collectors
07:02When the service stops, the billing should stop too
07:05Yeah
07:06Well, you can understand their frustration, can't you?
07:10You know, paying for something that they're not getting
07:12Yeah, absolutely, Al, you can
07:14And if you've been let down by your TV or broadband provider
07:17Or any company, then we want to hear about it
07:19Get in touch, watchdog at bbc.co.uk
07:22Or you can tag us on socials at bbcwatchdog
07:26Now, with the Easter holidays just over a week away
07:29Some people might be looking forward to a break in the sun
07:32But we've heard from some customers of Aer Lingus
07:35Who've had their plans disrupted
07:37After the company announced in January
07:39It would no longer be flying direct from Manchester to North America
07:43Now, affected passengers have been offered refunds or alternative flights
07:47But for some, the new flights aren't quite what they were expecting
07:51Al, can you tell us about Heather?
07:52Of course
07:53So Heather and her family from Northwich were due to fly to Orlando in April
07:58She paid for direct flights with Aer Lingus
08:00To make travelling with two young children as easy as possible
08:04Yeah
08:04Heather says that she agreed to new flights
08:06Requesting like-for-like replacements
08:09But she was booked onto indirect flights
08:11With a four-and-a-half-hour layover in Dublin
08:14Not what you want
08:15No
08:15Departing as well the day before her original flight
08:19Yeah, no, that is not what you want, is it?
08:21It's not just frustrating
08:22It's also costly
08:23Now, Heather would have to pay for an extra day's accommodation
08:26And car rental
08:27And take extra annual leave
08:29And she isn't the only one affected by this
08:31We've also heard from people who've booked through third-party sites
08:34Clara, can you tell us about Rachel?
08:37Yeah, so Rachel booked a package holiday to Orlando
08:40Direct from Manchester for her and her family
08:42However, the new flights the travel provider offered
08:46Were via Dublin, just like Heather
08:47She says it also departed earlier
08:49Which meant having to pay for a hotel in Manchester the night before
08:54So that is a lot of added stress for Rachel
08:57Plus the extra cost of the hotel
08:58That's a lot
08:59Yeah, it is a lot
09:00And as you can imagine, Rachel was not happy about it
09:03Getting an indirect flight
09:05When I've originally paid for a direct one
09:07Is every parent's nightmare
09:08You've taken my money
09:10And you are now not giving me
09:12The same service that I had originally paid for
09:15I mean, Rachel absolutely has a point
09:18So the question is
09:18Where do passengers stand in this type of situation?
09:21Yeah, well
09:22There are regulations that airlines must follow
09:24When rerouting passengers
09:26And the key thing here is
09:27The journey must be under comparable transport conditions
09:31But that could be vague
09:33So how do airlines decide what's comparable?
09:36Well, this is the thing
09:37This is a good question now
09:38So we went to the UK Civil Aviation Authority
09:41And it told us that it's defined as a journey
09:43That reaches the passenger's destination
09:45At the earliest opportunity available
09:48The regulations also state
09:50That airlines should always seek to offer flights
09:52On the same day as the original flight
09:54And via the same route
09:56And where possible
09:57Avoiding additional connections
09:59Also, where necessary
10:00The airline should place passengers
10:02On flights with alternative airlines
10:04At no extra cost
10:06Now, not only do the regulations apply to air carriers
10:09But also flights booked via third-party holiday firms
10:13So what do Aer Lingus say then?
10:16Well, Al
10:16Aer Lingus told us that where possible
10:18It is rebooking customers on connecting flights
10:20To ensure they can travel on the same day
10:23As their original flight
10:24And in circumstances where entire routes are cancelled
10:28It says it's not unreasonable to prioritise
10:30Rerouting options on its own services
10:33And those of its partner airlines
10:35It says it's not policy
10:37To rebook customers on indirect flights
10:39On a different day
10:40However, it acknowledges that this has happened
10:43In a small number of instances
10:45OK, but Nicky, you do have some good news
10:47We've got some good news
10:48We've got some good news
10:49I like this part, yeah
10:50I'm pleased to say
10:51That since we got involved
10:52Aer Lingus has rebooked Heather and her family
10:55On to direct flights with another carrier
10:57On the original date
10:58It also agreed to cover the cost of Rachel's hotel
11:01To ensure she wasn't out of pocket
11:03That is great news
11:05Good news, isn't it?
11:06Job well done, Nicky
11:08Job well done
11:08We like good news
11:09Thank you
11:11Still to come tonight
11:12I do, Grace Scott and Carmel Lanader
11:15Will be here to tell us all about
11:16Their new BBC family drama
11:18Crookhaven
11:19And if you're a Harry Potter fan
11:21Chances are you are going to like this one
11:23Plus comedian Rasheen Conaty
11:25Will be telling us about baking
11:27Alongside Joe Wilkinson
11:28And Tom Davies
11:29In the Celebrity Bake Off kitchen
11:31Bed first
11:32We're shining a light once again
11:34On a global competition
11:35That we featured back in 2024
11:37When we revealed the finalists
11:39Of the Longitude Prize on Dementia
11:41Five teams of inventors
11:42Who came up with groundbreaking technologies
11:45To help people live in with it
11:46Yes, and 18 months on
11:48Anna Karais is delivering some really exciting news
11:51As she exclusively reveals the winner
11:52Of the Β£1 million prize
11:56In 2024
11:58I met some of the incredible inventors
12:00Taking part in the Longitude Prize on Dementia
12:03The aim of the prize is to develop life-changing technology
12:07That can help sufferers live independently for longer
12:10Five companies from around the world were shortlisted
12:14Each receiving Β£300,000 to turn their ideas into reality
12:19The inventions include a radar system that predicts and detects falls
12:24A smartwatch to help people keep life on track
12:27A handset system for video calls and prompts
12:30A camera-free monitor which updates carers without invading privacy
12:35And finally, an AI assistant for smart glasses
12:40Which helps with everyday tasks
12:42But only one company can take home that Β£1 million prize
12:46And the winning team is the one behind these glasses
12:49The only thing is, they don't know this yet
12:52And that company is CrossSense
12:56Back in 2024, I met Peter
12:58One of the first people to trial the glasses
13:01Tell me what the object is, please
13:03Since then, Shepan Orlins and his team
13:06Have advanced the tech way beyond the rather clunky prototype I first tried
13:11Oh my goodness!
13:13They're so light
13:15Last time when we met, you were making yourself a tea
13:18The glasses could maybe name a cup
13:20Now they can help you through the process of making tea as well
13:24They can understand you
13:25What you need and what you struggle with
13:28I want to see for myself how that tech has progressed
13:31What does it feel like when you touch the soil?
13:34It feels quite dry
13:35That often means it's a good time for a drink
13:38Okay
13:40Trust me to get a little carried away?
13:41I think I've given it too much because it's running over the edge of the saucer
13:46Spills happen
13:47Where do you usually keep your cloths or kitchen roll?
13:50This is not planned but a good test
13:54Oh Shepan, I feel oddly emotional because that was a real life scenario
14:00It works
14:01It does
14:02It does, thank you
14:04Carol Gregg has early onset dementia
14:07She's one of 250 people putting the glasses through their paces
14:11I'd like you to help me making some toast
14:13Say Carol, tell me how the glasses have helped you
14:16It's scary to lose the ability to know what something is or does
14:20To have the glasses to assist you
14:24It's another world
14:25I need help planning that trip
14:27It's giving you hope
14:29So it's an amazing innovation
14:31For Carol's daughter Amanda, the glasses also provide comfort
14:35When the world outside of her home becomes smaller
14:40It's reassuring to know that she would live more independently for longer
14:44And that's just one of the reasons the judges chose them
14:49Ruth Dixon is programme lead for the Longitude Prize on Dementia
14:53They've got a breakthrough technology and we are so excited to tell them
14:58I can't believe we're going to go and do this right now
15:00A million pounds, a million pounds
15:03Product designer Hannah Blows and Professor Julia Simner are part of Shepan's team
15:08They think I'm here to see how their progress is helping people with dementia
15:13It's incredibly moving seeing their reactions
15:15Just being moved to tears at things they're now able to do
15:18Someone said that it's like a light bulb switched back on
15:21They were able to do things that they've given up on
15:25Well it's lovely to come back and I sort of have to come clean here
15:28Because I'm not just back to say hello
15:30I'm back to say you've actually won the Longitude Prize on Dementia
15:35And that million pounds is yours
15:38Well done, you did it
15:40You did it
15:41Huge congratulations to you all
15:43It does feel like a dream
15:44We cannot wait to see you accelerate it
15:47For all those people living with dementia
15:48That is incredible
15:50And it is going to take some time to sink
15:53What difference will that extra million make to you?
15:56We're unstoppable now
15:57This will make it to people's homes and people will be able to use it
16:02And it will change their lives
16:03The team hope to launch the glasses via a fee paying subscription in early 2027
16:09Having seen first hand the effect that dementia can have on individuals and their families
16:15And knowing that this prize is going to help retain that dignity and independence is just fantastic
16:25There's no wonders there that they're so emotional
16:27How fantastic
16:29Thank you to Annika for that of course
16:31Such an incredible win
16:32And hopefully more people will be able to benefit from those glasses very soon
16:36Indeed, very well deserved
16:37All right then
16:38It is time now to welcome tonight's wonderful guest
16:40It's the comedian Rasheen Conaty
16:42And the stars of brand new BBC drama Crookhaven
16:44Dougray Scott
16:45And Carmel Lineda
16:49Welcome, welcome, welcome
16:51Rasheen, I'm going to start with you first
16:53Because we had your last one laughing co-star
16:55Judy Love on the sofa just yesterday
16:57She's also on episode one of Celebrity
17:00Bake Off with you later
17:01But we've got to talk about last one
17:03Last one
17:04Oh my gosh
17:04Last one laughing
17:07Which is back tomorrow on Prime Video
17:09So the whole concept of it is comedians trying to make each other laugh
17:12Whilst maintaining a straight face
17:13But when they go it is really contagious isn't it?
17:16Yeah, it's
17:17Some people they can hold it for a long time
17:20But once they've sort of, once the dam is broken
17:23It's one of the best bits of the show
17:24Is people leaning in
17:26Like they're like
17:27Just letting it
17:28But if someone goes and you're sitting next to them
17:31I've worked out from watching the show
17:32That's really a real danger for you to go laugh
17:34It's like school
17:35Yeah, when you're in assembly
17:37And you know you're not supposed to laugh
17:38Just look forward
17:39Yeah
17:39So you co-host of course with Jimmy Carr
17:41And you've got a brilliant, brilliant cast this year
17:44Extraordinary
17:44Alan Carr's
17:45And obviously Bob Mortimer is back
17:47Yeah
17:48And he's got a bit of a target on his back this time, hasn't he?
17:51Yeah, well he's sort of
17:52Yeah, he's the one, you know
17:53He's the sort of king of last one laughing
17:55And so it's interesting seeing how people responded to him
17:58Because some people
17:58You see the aggressive players thinking
18:00I'm going for Bob
18:01Look at Mel
18:01And then you see the sort of
18:02You know, the ones who are a bit more like running away
18:05But when he walked into the house
18:06People scattered like pigeons
18:07They were like
18:08No, no, no
18:09Because they didn't know he was going to be in there
18:10Yeah, very funny man
18:12I would do the same
18:12Hilarious
18:13Absolutely
18:14Degree, Carmel
18:15I would imagine as actors
18:16You know, when it comes to your more serious scenes
18:18Is it difficult to keep a straight face
18:21Or do you find it harder sometimes?
18:22I've got the worst poker face
18:24I think in the world I cannot keep it together
18:26Do you laugh a lot?
18:28If you start laughing, you can't stop
18:31And then it's like take 20 for me
18:33I'm terrible
18:34I feel like all of us were trying to make each other laugh all the time
18:37And we just would not keep it together
18:40It was a fun set
18:41Yeah, but no, I have been a terrible cop
18:43The worst is when you're on stage
18:44I've done that before
18:46And there's nowhere to hide
18:47Because if you're on TV or doing a movie
18:49It always gets funnier, doesn't it?
18:51When you know you're not supposed to
18:53Yeah, yeah, yeah
18:54Well this Sunday we'll see Dugre and Carmel in action
18:57In their new BBC family drama Crookhaven
19:00Based on the best-selling books about a mysterious school
19:03Yes, it sees high-achieving young crooks from all around the world
19:06As they are secretly selected to hone their skills
19:08In things like deception and forgery
19:10So that they can steal from the bad
19:12And give back to the good
19:13Let's take a look
19:14Good morning, Crookhaven
19:16Rise and shine
19:17It's the world's oldest academy for crooks
19:19We'll give you the skills to beat criminals of their own game
19:22Right now, you're good
19:23With our help, you could be great
19:25Or you could go back to being a nobody
19:28Game on
19:29I mean, this would be a whole secret life
19:31I thought I was here because I was good
19:33This is Crookhaven
19:35Everyone's hiding something
19:43We're crooks
19:47Drama, action, everything you'd want
19:50And also a fantastic cast
19:51You've got your good selves
19:52You've got Keith Allen in there
19:54Julie Hesman
19:55Howe, Dugre
19:56You play the head minister
19:57Head minister, headmaster
19:58Oh, I can play head minister as well
20:00All of it
20:02Tell us about him
20:04And what goes on exactly at his school
20:05Caspian is the headmaster
20:07And he's the, you know
20:09He's had this school in his family for generations
20:12So he picks people from all over the world
20:15Who quite often come from broken homes
20:17And he's sort of a posh vegan
20:18He trains them to be, you know
20:21Very good crooks
20:22And for the greater good, shall we say
20:25And he teaches them in skullduggery
20:28And forgery
20:29And just to be good, old-fashioned, wonderful spies
20:33And at the same time
20:35He's sort of fighting this nefarious group
20:37Called the Nameless
20:38Who are sort of ubiquitous as well at times
20:41And there's also a spy in the school as well
20:45So he's trying to find out
20:46So he's juggling many things
20:47He's quite fruity on the surface
20:50He's light on his feet, shall we say
20:52Right
20:53But actually he's very, very good at his job
20:57And he's tough
20:58Carmel plays my daughter, Penelope
21:00Yes
21:00She's wonderful
21:02And he's quite tough on his daughter
21:04Because he can't be seen to be, you know
21:06Favourable to his daughter
21:08So he comes down quite hard on her, doesn't he?
21:11So Penelope, you play, obviously, the daughter
21:13How would you define their relationship then?
21:16Because he is, as he said, quite mysterious
21:18A bit light on his feet
21:19Yeah, it's a little bit of a tricky one
21:21I mean, at the beginning
21:23I feel like definitely Penelope
21:25She sort of thinks, you know
21:27She really wants to impress him
21:28Because he's not only, you know, her dad
21:30But he's also the headmaster
21:31So I feel like sometimes
21:33That sort of, those two titles kind of blur a little bit
21:36And, you know, she doesn't just get to have just a dad
21:38She also, you know, he's also the headmaster at the same time
21:41And I think that a lot of the time
21:43She thinks, like, you know
21:44If I am able to be the best in my class
21:47And be, you know, the best at everything
21:49Then I'll get his approval
21:50And I'll, you know
21:51And what's so lovely about the show
21:53Is that you see that progression in her character
21:55And you see her really, like, you know
21:57Break down all those barriers
21:59And, you know, become more vulnerable
22:00And become more, you know, human
22:02More, you know, more in touch with her feelings and emotions
22:06So she wants to impress her dad
22:08Yeah
22:08By being excellent at what she does
22:10And that means learning a lot of skills in the crook world
22:13So tell us about how you got into character
22:15Because I'm hearing about forgery, archery
22:17Picking locks, perhaps
22:18Yeah, we had to learn a lot of stuff
22:20Like we had archery training for two weeks
22:23At the beginning, which was so cool
22:24And we had lock picking as well
22:27And it's like stuff that you just, like, never think
22:29That you'd be able to, like, learn on a job
22:32It's so cool
22:33It's so handy
22:34I know
22:35You can just use it
22:36You know what to do
22:37Especially if you've locked yourself out of your house at night
22:39Exactly
22:39Now I can pick a lock to get in
22:41So if I forgot my keys
22:43Who cares?
22:45And, Dugray, are we right
22:46That you stayed in character the whole time?
22:50Which must have been quite terrifying for the rest of the cast
22:52Well, he's very different from me
22:54You know, he sort of walks differently
22:55He talks differently
22:56He's sort of, he's like an old Etonian
22:58So sometimes it's easier to sort of stay in that
23:01Because I had six weeks to film all my scenes
23:03And so every day I was on set for the entire day
23:07You know, from Monday until Friday
23:09Sometimes Saturday as well
23:11So I had so little time
23:13So sometimes it's easier just to stay in it
23:15Rather than to come out of it
23:15And also it's a great way that you don't get bothered by anyone
23:19Or he's in character, just leave him alone
23:21So I have so much to think about
23:22To stay fruity for that long
23:26Fruity is, you know, a splash
23:27But honestly, it makes the sinister moments even more
23:31You know, like the switch up
23:32You really feel it when you, yeah
23:34In like the best way possible
23:35But being fruity is exhausting
23:41Camel, we loved you in Doolittle
23:43It was brilliant
23:45Such a lovely family film
23:46And apparently Robert Downey Jr.
23:49Which we're pleased to hear
23:49Was really nice, wasn't it?
23:51Bringing all of you as a young cast together
23:54He was the best
23:55And honestly, like I was 15 at the time when I did that
23:58So to be able to do that
23:59And then do this now at 21
24:00Like I'm just so grateful for
24:03You know, to have all these like different opportunities
24:04And also just like
24:05I feel like when you're older
24:06You definitely are a lot more like aware
24:08Of what's going on
24:09Like you can actually like build
24:10You know, friendships with people on set
24:13And like with your crew members
24:14And your cast
24:15And like, so yeah
24:16I definitely really appreciate
24:18And all of us like
24:19We're best friends now
24:21Like to this day literally
24:22Like we still text in the group chats all the time
24:24So
24:25Nice added bonus
24:26It is, yeah
24:27I'm not in that group chat
24:29I was just going to say
24:30I had you
24:30Just to be clear
24:32I promise you
24:34You honestly would not want to be on it
24:37Fruity's not in it
24:38No
24:38Well, Crookhaven starts this Sunday
24:40At 5 past 3 on BBC One
24:42And at 25 past 5 on CBBC
24:45With the whole series dropping on iPlayer on Sunday
24:47And talking of binge-worthy series
24:49We've got great news for fans of the 90s show

24:52So you may have seen it in the papers today
24:54That it's celebrating an incredible 30 years
24:57Yes
24:57Now it follows a group of young lawyers
24:59As they navigated relationships
25:00Careers and life in their 20s
25:02Giving people like Jack Davenport
25:04Jason Hughes
25:05And Andrew Lincoln their big break
25:07Yes
25:07And to mark the anniversary
25:08It's returning to the BBC
25:10So you'll be able to watch the first two episodes
25:12Tonight
25:1310 o'clock on BBC Four

25:16And the 10-year reunion special
25:18Available on iPlayer
25:19People will be delighted
25:20And from a much-loved TV drama
25:23To drama in the kitchen
25:24Because the great celebrity
25:26Bake Off or Stand Up to Cancer
25:28Returns to our screens this Sunday
25:30Oh yes
25:31And one of the famous faces taking part
25:32Is Rashid
25:33He's right here
25:33Now before we hear all about it
25:35Here's a taste of how she and her fellow contestants
25:37Got on in that iconic white tent
25:40Already laughed
25:40Why does this feel so nerve-wracking?
25:42This is something I make for myself every morning
25:45I'm very much on autopilot
25:47Today's signature challenge for our celebrity bakers
25:50They have to make eight amazing breakfast pastries
25:53I've never made them before
25:54Because if you're going to fail, fail hard
25:57A rough puff pastry is all about
25:58An added grated frozen butter
26:01And then begin to fold it
26:03They're called turns
26:04None of it's going to go that well
26:05But we're going to have a nice day
26:12It's good because we're all on the same level here
26:14When it comes to baking
26:15So episode one, brilliant
26:17As we saw loads of comedians there
26:19Joe Wilkinson and John Richardson
26:21What were they like in the kitchen?
26:24Well, it's annoying
26:25Because Joe Wilkinson's actually
26:27They've all
26:28Everyone
26:28I'm not saying
26:29Giving anything away
26:30But Joe Wilkinson
26:30He's been
26:31We're all returning bakers
26:32Yeah
26:33Joe Wilkinson's a good baker
26:34And it's really, really annoying
26:36And so I kept trying to sabotage him
26:38Like turning up
26:39You know, trying to go at stuff
26:40In a funny way
26:41Until I got told off
26:43So yeah
26:44And John's pretty good as well
26:46I'm not giving
26:47They're all
26:47They're good
26:48Yeah
26:49They're not
26:49Annoying
26:50Yeah
26:50I think John's a vegan though
26:52So there's
26:52It was
26:53He had a bit of another constraint
26:54Right
26:55Yeah
26:55Now as you mentioned
26:57There's a lot of returners
26:58To the tent
26:59This is not your first rodeo
27:00You did it back in 2018
27:02Oh my God
27:02I think it's safe to say
27:03Things didn't really go well
27:05When it came to your technical
27:07And history appears to be
27:08Repeating itself this year
27:11I don't know what I'm allowed to say
27:13Yeah
27:13Listen
27:14I think we can tell from that one
27:16That it's not going to be a maze
27:18What's supposed to be happening here
27:19I'm trying to imply that I might have won
27:21Like listen
27:21I don't want to give anything
27:22I might have won
27:24I
27:26It was
27:27It was a tricky
27:27I baked once
27:28Since the first time I was in there
27:30And that was during lockdown
27:30And I realised
27:31Halfway through that bake
27:32That I didn't have half the ingredients
27:33And I went on the WhatsApp group
27:35For the neighbours
27:35And they all brought over
27:36Like vanilla and stuff
27:38So I baked three times
27:41It's
27:42It is what it is
27:43Yeah
27:43You're in good company
27:44We did a bad job
27:46Exactly
27:47But the showstopper
27:49Now you know
27:49This is supposed to be amazing
27:50And it had a really interesting theme
27:52Didn't it
27:53Yeah
27:53They said
27:54The strangest place you've ever fallen asleep
27:58And
27:58So
27:58My cake
27:59Is me
28:00Having a bikini wax
28:01Pretty strange
28:03Pretty strange
28:05As you're having that type of pain
28:06Very tired
28:07Excellent
28:07And if you're not a great baker
28:09That's quite a risky cake to make
28:12I can imagine
28:14Yes
28:15Yeah
28:15Requiring a lot of detail
28:17Yes
28:18Different textures
28:19All of that
28:20Yes
28:21Diggory
28:21You got some cooking tips
28:23From a very famous face
28:24In the form of Gordon Ramsay
28:26Please share us
28:27Share with us the knowledge
28:28Oh he taught me how to
28:29Chop onions
28:30Okay
28:31He's like do the knuckles
28:32So you don't
28:32You know
28:33Because if you do that
28:33It's a disaster
28:34And I've cut myself
28:35Quite a few times
28:36Cut chopping onions
28:37Because I do like to cook
28:38From time to time
28:38I'm a terrible baker
28:40But I'm not a bad cook
28:42So he said
28:43You know
28:43You have to use your
28:44You know
28:44Make sure that you don't
28:45Put your fingers out
28:46And sort of do that
28:47And
28:47But he's brilliant
28:48He's a brilliant chef
28:49Yeah he's alright
28:50Yeah he is
28:51He's quite load though
28:53Isn't he
28:53Just a little bit
28:54Just a touch
28:55I said to him
28:55I said turn it down
28:57Brave man
28:58Carmel
28:59How's your baking
28:59Your cooking skills
29:00Awful
29:02Everyone knows

29:03A way better than me
29:04But I would not
29:05Be trusted to go near
29:06Like you wouldn't want
29:07Anything from me
