James Acaster - Bake Off interview
James Acaster, Russell Tovey, Rylan Clark-Neal and Michelle Keegan take part in the second episode of The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer 2019. Let's get a few brief words from James:
Can you bake?
No I cannot.
What is your own personal signature dish?
Ben & Jerrys.
Are you a Bake Off fan?
Yes.
Who do you want to impress the most? Paul or Prue?
Prue. She's the real deal.
Who's your biggest competition?
Tovey.
Have you had any baking disasters?
No and I don't intend to start in the tent.
What's your strength in your baking?
Belief in myself.
Are you more likely to get a Hollywood Handshake or a Soggy Bottom?
Hollywood Handshake. Multiple.
Why are you supporting Stand Up to Cancer?
Because we will all be affected by cancer in life and encouraging people to bake is cool.
Have you practised your bakes?
Not really.
Are you competitive? Do you want to be star baker?
Nope. I'm just chasing my own PB.
How do you feel about the technical challenge? Are you good under pressure?
I'll be fine as long as it's easy. I'm great under pressure.
Are you a traditionalist or do you like experimenting with food?.
Experiment, always.
If you were a baked good, what would you be?
Jam-filled donut. Soft on the outside. Softer on the inside.
