Alison Hammond says she is 'boring' before breaking oven on Great British Bake Off

Alison Hammond said that she made "boring" viewing on Great British Bake Off: The Professionals.

In a Stand Up To Cancer special, James Blunt, Alison Hammond, Alex Jones and Joe Sugg took on traybakes in the Bake Off tent. They had to create a classic British staple and a biscuit scene of what they wanted to be when they grew up.

Alison created a loving tray of chocolate brownies with toffee as a secret ingredient. The This Morning presenter got ahead of herself as she said: "Oh god this is just going so well, so smooth. I'm literally a natural baker."

She later added: "That looks like a very successful tray bake. Things are just running so smooth for me - this is actually boring TV."

However, the 47-year-old spoke too soon as when she went to pop her bake into the oven, she couldn't find the oven door. She bent down as she said: "In it goes..."

But then, she stood back in confusion, thinking that she had broken the oven. She said: "Where's the door gone?

It took a moment, but she burst out in laughter as she realised that the door folded underneath the oven. She said: "I thought the door disappeared. That's a cool oven isn't it. Look at that!"

When her sweet treat was finished, Alison told the judges: "You know when people have a dog that looks like them? Well this is a traybake that looks like me." They went on to describe her desserts as sweet, crunchy and design.

Paul Hollywood added: "I like your design. It's a bit scruffy but the flavour is very nice."
