's The Great British Bake Off has always been a fan favourite, and this week's episode left many viewers in stitches when Radio 1 DJ Greg James attempted to recreate a biscuit for the show's technical challenge. As a guest on Clare Balding's show, Balding shared her thoughts on James' baking mishap, admitting she found it hilarious. "I couldn't stop laughing when I saw Greg's biscuit!" said Balding. "It's always entertaining to see someone have a go at baking something from scratch, especially when it doesn't go quite to plan. I think he took it all in good humour though, and that's what makes the show so great. It's all about having fun and enjoying the process, even if your biscuits end up looking a bit wonky." It's clear that despite the mishaps and mistakes, The Great British Bake Off continues to be a beloved show that brings joy and laughter to its viewers. And who knows - maybe we'll see Clare Balding herself take on a baking challenge in the future!

Clare Balding has responded to Greg James' effort in the Bake Off after learning that her showstopper biscuit had served as inspiration for him.

In the latest episode of The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer, which aired on April 7, Dermot O'Leary, Mel B, and Fern Brady were among the celebrities who participated in the baking challenge alongside James.

The DJ from BBC Radio 1 tried to imitate the appearance of his "famous look-alike" and the host couldn't help but notice.

Speaking about X, Balding praised James, expressing: "I am astonished that Paul Hollywood consumed my eye... outstanding job @gregjames. Even though you may not be the champion of #GBBO, you have certainly won my affection. #SU2C"

James began baking and commented that creating a portrait of one of our top broadcasters out of biscuits is the ultimate form of tribute.

With pride, he showed the judges his biscuit and elaborated, "The foundation and upper part of the biscuit comprise of lemon shortbread, followed by delectable lemon buttercream icing. Finally, her characteristics are crafted using Italian ricciarelli biscuit."

Judge Paul Hollywood jokingly suggested, "Perhaps it would be wise if you sent it to her."

However, Judge Prue Leith complimented James for his "fantastic" biscuit and acknowledged his "daring" decision to use two types of biscuits.

James stopped speaking, leaving his sentence incomplete. Hollywood proposed, "Improved?" as he removed one of the biscuit eyes from its place.

Hollywood gave its stamp of approval to the eyeball, with the comment "It has a crunchier texture."

After Balding shared a post on social media, one of her followers inquired: "Were you already informed about this prior to tonight? It would be quite a shock to find out otherwise!" Someone else made a humorous comment, saying: "So, are you able to peer into his stomach now, Clare?"

In other parts of the program, Dermot succeeded in obtaining the highly prized apron by impressing the judges with his performance in all three challenges within the tent.
