It comes after Gemma revealed she only went on Stand Up To Cancer Bake Off so she could meet a 'gorgeous' star.

The former Towie favourite admitted that while she doesn't have much baking prowess, she is a huge fan of judge Paul Hollywood.

Speaking to Metro.co.uk the former TOWIE star said: "Obviously Stand Up To Cancer is a great cause but I’m a huge fan of Paul Hollywood, so when I got the call I was like, ‘I need to see Paul with my own eyeballs’."

She added: "Paul Hollywood, bless him, was really complimentary because he saw how much enthusiasm I had."

Gemma described Hollywood, 57, as "gorgeous" and said the next woman to marry him would be a "lucky woman".

"I can confirm to every woman on the planet that he is unbelievable in the flesh," she stated.

"It’s just the vibe – I think he called one of my cakes ‘indescribable’ but I wasn’t bothered about the cake, I didn’t care if my choux pastry was good, I just wanted to meet Paul Hollywood."
