Bake Off’s celebrity special sees Emma Willis create some unfortunately shaped biscuits

Innuendos at the ready...

The Great British Bake Off’s celebrity special sees Emma Willis create some unfortunately shaped biscuits, while trying to form a set of edible elephants.

As she attempts to shape Viennese whirls into two round ears and a trunk, host Matt Lucas struggles not to slip into the show’s famously bawdy biscuit puns as he critiques the presenter’s phallic piping.

Politely, he points out: “You call these elephants, but they don’t only remind me of elephants...”

“I promise you once I put eyes on it, it will look like an elephant,” Emma assures him, and sure enough, after she pipes icing tusks and adds eyes she says triumphantly: “They look less like a willy now, don’t they?”

Emma isn’t the first member of her family to bake, well, a member... her husband Busted’s Matt previously decorated a pie for their dinner in typically juvenile style, which she shared on social media.

“I’ve just made something that, accidentally, looks really phallic,” gulps Emma. “We’re going to look like those kids at school that are constantly drawing willies on their books.”

Emma stars in the show’s Stand Up to Cancer special, which airs tonight on Channel 4 at 8pm.

Michael Buble says he considered quitting music after his son Noah was diagnosed with liver cancer in 2016.

The singer tells Hello magazine: "I never wanted to sing again.

“It just didn’t matter to me anymore. My wife literally picked me up and brought me back to life.”

Noah, eight, has since fully recovered.
