The internet personality, 31, appeared on the episode alongside presenter Roman Kemp, Sarah Beeny and Maxine Peake, where they were tasked with a number of challenges. One of them was to create romantic dates remembered in biscuit form – and it’s fair to say that her gingerbread Chicken Shop was rather memorable.

What has Amelia Dimoldenberg said about The Great Celebrity Bake Off?
Ahead of her stint on the show, Amelia revealed she hasn’t baked for years. ‘I can kind of follow a recipe, but I haven’t baked since I was a teenager,’ she said.
‘As a teenager, and at primary school, after school, to cure my boredom, I would lock myself in the kitchen and bake, and wouldn’t let anyone else in the kitchen. Nobody was allowed in until I’d finished making my cupcakes or my Victoria Sponge. Or I made an upside-down fruitcake once. But I’ve not baked since I was basically a child. So can I bake? Debatable.’
