The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer made history on Sunday night (April 12) as two contestants were awarded Star Baker for the first time in the show's 16-year run.
Former TOWIE star Mark Wright and Sugababes singer Mutya Buena both received the coveted apron after judges Paul Hollywood and Cherish Finden could not separate them. Hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding announced the unprecedented double win, with Paul noting it had 'never been done before'.
The five celebrities – including Emmett J Scanlan, Nella Rose and Ralf Little – tackled three challenges: pull-apart savoury rolls, vegan fruit tarts, and a cake inspired by their most lavish purchase. The episode raised funds for Stand Up To Cancer.
However, some viewers criticised the contestants' kitchen hygiene on social media, pointing out that bakers did not tie back their hair or wear hair nets. Others commented on Nella Rose and Mutya Buena's long acrylic nails, with one viewer saying 'The nails make me feel sick'.
Despite the hygiene concerns, the line-up received widespread praise from fans. Last week's episode saw Strictly Come Dancing champion Rose Ayling-Ellis take the Star Baker title.
The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer is available to stream on Channel 4 online.
