The former The Only Way is Essex star didn't quite stick to the rules for contestants on the Channel 4 show.

"The thought of seeing Paul Hollywood is really exciting but I am just going to stay focussed," she said as she gave details of her two-tier hot pink cake. But despite the star-studded line up, many viewers were left distracted by Gemma's as the 42-year-old's appearance appeared to change throughout the programme. "That is the most beautiful thing anyone's ever said to me," Gemma said. And it was Gemma who has viewers in stitches as the self-confessed diva flirted up a storm with Paul. He was in the tent alongside Jesy Nelson, Tom Davis and Rose Matafeo. Four more famous faces were seen on Sunday night (March 26) putting their baking skills to the text on the charity spin-off of the Channel 4 show.
