TOWIE star Gemma Collins will take to our screens tonight as part of Stand Up To Cacner's Great Celebrity Bake Off.
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."

"So, after three series and 51 episodes, I am cheerfully passing the baguette on to someone else.
"I would like to give my warmest thanks and gratitude to everyone at Love Productions and Channel 4 and to Noelipops, Paul, Dame Prue, the crew and, of course, the wonderful bakers for welcoming me into the tent.
"I wish whoever takes over the very best and I can't wait to tune into the next series without already knowing who won!"
