Read our privacy policy If more proof were needed of The Great British Bake Off’s triumph as a format, look at the calibre of celebrities they’ve assembled for this five-week-long charity edition. Thanks to Star Wars, Ridley is properly, hard-to-go-shopping famous, but she mucks in with the soggy bottoms, gamely twirls her rolling pin like a lightsaber, beams her thousand-candelabra grin and generally seems like a laugh. It’s possible that the formats slowly evolve over the years to the point where the regular Bake Off is more like the professional one, and the celebrity edition is the endearing mass-audience mainstay.
