Everybody’s talking about… #Great British Bake Off

Everyone’s favourite soggy-bottomed show is getting a spin off.

Jo Brand will host An Extra Slice when GBBO is back on our screen next month. It will air on BBC2 and will see former contestants and ‘celebrities’ gather to talk about the main show.

We’re not sure about this. Why mess with perfection?
