Lisa Faulkner won’t compete on GBBO

Lisa Faulkner will never compete on ‘Great British Bake Off’.
The 44-year-old actress may have walked away with the winning crown for ‘Celebrity MasterChef’ in 2010 but she’s adamant she’ll never be persuaded to join the line-up of the baking programme – fronted by Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry – because she doesn’t think she’s got what it takes.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, she said: "I love to bake and my third book, ‘Tea & Cake’ had a lot of baking in it, but the guys on that show are incredible and would run rings around me – so I think I’ll leave that to those guys – when you look at someone like John Whaite or Nadiya Hussain, what they do is amazing – tempering chocolate etc – that’s a whole other level. I enjoy baking for the school fete!"
However, although she’s not keen on getting her hands dirty in a celebrity baking show, Lisa wasn’t afraid to throw herself into the Sky Kids Café launch, inspired by shows from the new Sky Kids app, in London on Tuesday evening (31.05.16).
The blonde beauty curated the menu for the event as guests – such as Lydia Bright, Sam Faiers, Kym Marsh and Kellie Bright – tucked into her bite-sized canapes; Mr Krab’s Fish Fingers and Queenie Quiche’s with a side of Daphne’s hummus dip followed by Patrick’s Shortbread Stars.
