Can you bake?
I have baked, I have involved myself in the baking process, but no one has wanted to eat said baked goods. I made rock buns and my mum gave me bicarb of soda instead of baking soda and my grandad tried one and frothed at the mouth we though he was having a fit.
Describe your baking style in one word.
Traumatic.
What’s your favourite baked good?
I like them all. Possibly, vicky sponge inches forward.
Can you bake?
I thought I could. But that’s one of the first things you find out when you get into that tent. I found out several times that no, I can’t bake.
Describe your baking style in one word.
Limited.
What’s your favourite baked good?
Are flapjacks baked? I just had one with toffee on from Costcutter.

People were slightly surprised when you signed up for it.
Yes, but I’ve got nothing to lose. I didn’t quite grasp the show at first because they asked me to do it years ago. I was a bit like, “This is just people trying to bake a cake only using their elbows. What the fuck is going on?” But then I started watching it like, “Oh, right. It’s a kind of play about humility.”
Did you become a fan of the show?
Interview with Jenny Eclair
