Stacey Solomon admitted she was nervous ahead of her debut on Bake Off : The Professionals.
Stacey was making her presenting debut with co-host Liam Charles on the Channel 4 show to replace Tom Allen, who had been hosting from 2018.
Tom had told Stacey on social media: "Stacey Solomon you are going to be absolutely amazing I can't think of anyone better to be doing it! It was my first TV presenting job back in 2018 and it has taught me so much - thanks to the amazing team with whom I've loved working, all the incredible chefs and most of all Benoit, Cherish and of course the brilliant Liam."
On Instagram Stacey asked people not to let her know if they had any insults to throw at her.
In a video, she said: "Oh my gosh, I just got a message from Bake Off. I completely forget it starts tonight. I'm so nervous because when you're on the telly, people let you know if they hate you."
She added: "But, if you're watching it tonight I hope you enjoy it and I'd love to know what you think. Unless of course you think I'm a big horse face who shouldn't be on the telly then in that case don't let me know."
But she needn't have worried, as viewers loved Stacey's first appearance.
Fans said: "Please can Stacey Solomon replace Matt Lucas on the main show? #GBBO."
And another said: "Bake Off The Professionals - making my Rice Krispies cakes look amateur since 2016. Getting @StaceySolomon as a presenter was genius. #gbbo
With a third adding: "Stacey Solomon makes any show ten times better #gbbo."
