Gemma Collins has revealed the real reason she signed up for the celebrity edition of The Great British Bake Off for Stand Up 2 Cancer.

During Sunday’s instalment (March 26) of the baking competition, judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith welcomed AJ Odudu, Gemma Collins, Jessica Hynes and Tim Key to the iconic white tent.

This week, the quartet were tasked with making sandwich cakes, classic tarts and baking their earliest memories out of choux pastry.

    She replied: "I know, I can feel him. It's going to throw me off my cooking, it's going to ruin my cream."

    It was at this point that Gemma gushed over the hunky chef, confessing: "He's something else isn't he? It's the only reason I did the show, no offence."

    However, she failed to wow the judges with her culinary skills as she presented her final master piece on the show.

    Although she failed to impress the judges, the TV star was given possibly an even better prize than the coveted Star Baker apron – a hug from Paul.

    After Jessica Hynes was crowned the winner, Gemma screamed: "Oh my god Paul Hollywood just cuddled me, I could feel his breath on me. Incredible, what a man."
