Celebrity Bake Off’s Sarah Beeny forced to bury horror item in garden

Sarah Beeny never expected to find herself on The Great Celebrity Bake Off For Stand Up To Cancer – because she’s not exactly gifted in the kitchen. The property expert believes she hasn’t got the right personality to excel with cupcakes and custards. “I’ve never really baked”, laughs Sarah, 53. “I think I’m a bit too impatient”.

Sarah is joining comics Adam Buxton, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Jamali Maddix and Phil Wang, model Ellie Goldstein, TV veteran Gloria Hunniford, Kate Garraway, actors Jim Howick, Tommy Tiernan, Meera Syal, Sophie Willan and Maxine Peake, presenters Roman Kemp and Amelia Dimoldenberg, married podcasters Chris and Rosie Ramsey, singer Self Esteem and property expert siblings Scarlette and Stuart Douglas in the famous white tent.

The celebs are all taking part in support of Stand Up To Cancer, a joint national fundraising campaign from Cancer Research UK and Channel 4. Hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding will be providing encouragement as the stars take on a signature bake, a technical bake and a showstopper.

Original judge Paul Hollywood is back, while Prue Leith’s long-standing friend and former colleague Caroline Waldegrave is standing in for Prue. And it doesn’t look like they are going to be very impressed with Sarah and Kate as not only does Sarah not bake, she also doesn’t even like cake.

“I don’t actually like cake much”, Sarah whispers. “Can I say that? They’re really low on my priority list. I guess you’re a pudding or a cheese person, and I’m a cheese person. Starter or pudding? Starter. Give me smoked salmon rather than dessert. That’s got bang for bucks”!

Sarah also don’t mind admitting they have had their fair share of nightmares in the kitchen. It’s a cottage pie that haunts her. “I’ve had millions of disasters, loads! I once cooked a cottage pie and didn’t have enough space to keep it in the fridge. It went off and it smelled so bad I had to dig a hole in the garden to bury it”.
