Paul Hollywood took the biscuit when it came to jokes filming celeb Bake Off

Paul Hollywood has admitted he took the biscuit when it came to jokes during filming for Bake Off’s celebrity spin-off.

Oscar-winner Richard Dreyfuss begged everyone on the show not to talk his role in iconic movie Jaws.

But Paul couldn’t resist.

He said: “Richard said to everyone: ‘Please don’t mention Jaws too much’.

“But we mentioned it all the time. We made a lot of gags about the film.

“Noel Fielding was doing it too – he’s very good at that sort of thing. So we mentioned Jaws a lot.

“I couldn’t believe it when I was told he’d signed up. I thought: ‘It can’t be that Richard Dreyfuss.’”

The celeb version of the show is due to air this spring on Channel 4 and Paul reckons it is must-see TV.

He said: “It’s such a funny series. I have been waiting for them to air. I can’t wait for everyone to see it.”

Other celebs taking part include Carol Vorderman, James Blunt, Kelly Brook, Caroline Quentin and Alison Hammond.

Bake Off is set for a change as Sandi Toksvig has quit as host, but judge Paul has no plans to leave.

He said: “I still get a buzz when I walk into the tent.”
