DD2 got through to the last round of interviews in 2015. I'm always amazed at some of the incompetent contestants who are chosen because the whole process of even being considered is quite challenging.

There were three telephone interviews, following her application and some quickfire questions obviously designed to catch you out. Knowledge of just about every cooking technique and ingredient was expected so when you have contestants admitting they haven't turned on the oven or don't know a basic skill you know it's scripted!!

We used to love Bake Off but it's definitely had its day now.

I love baking but couldn’t do it under pressure and my end results always taste lovely but sometimes look a little wonky!

Got the last episode of Junior Bake Off to watch today, it has been funny, sad and joyous, just loved it.

No thanks. Would rather walk on hot coals!

I found a full page advertisement in 'The Oldie' appealing for entrants. I was glad about that as there were too many youngsters this year.
Anyway FYI online applications to:
www.applyforbakeoff.co.uk
Deadline for applications is 20th January. Go on. Somebody from GN should be on it!
