Comedian and presenter Matt Lucas has left fans stunned by his incredible weight loss.
The Great British Bake Off made a triumphant return to our screens on Tuesday evening on Channel 4 for the latest series of the baking competition.
Judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith were back, as were Matt and fellow co-host Noel Fielding.

And although there were tons of tempting treats put together by the amateur bakers, many couldn't help but notice that Matt had shed a serious amount of weight.
“Sorry quick side note Matt Lucas looks incredible.” tweeted one user.
Another commented: “Holy heck at the weight loss of Matt Lucas – he looks really well.”
A third noted: "Can't get over how much weight matt lucas has lost!!"
And it turns out that it was a Bake Off-related incident which kickstarted Matt's journey to shedding the pounds.
Last month, Apprentice star Alan Sugar tweeted: "Wow @RealMattLucas has lost so much weight", - prompting Matt to reply with why he changed his lifestyle choices.
"Thanks. Basically I was already pretty big and then I went into a large white tent and ate most of the cake inside," he wrote.
"Then I saw myself on telly and thought 'I can barely fit on the screen' and realised it was time to do something about it.
"That said, I have just had a Pot Noodle."
Tuesday evening's episode saw Polish PA Janusz crowned Star Baker in Cake Week.
But former charity worker Will had a nightmare in both his technical and the showstopper challenge, leading Paul and Prue to send him home as the first elimination of the 2022 series.
