GBBO’S Star Baker Candice Brown WIPES OFF trademark bold lipstick for fresh-faced look on tonight’s episode
CANDICE Brown will be giving her best Great British Bake Off pout this evening WITHOUT her signature bold lipstick.
Instead of slapping on a plummy shade or striking red, the aspiring cake queen goes for a subtle and simplistic nude colour on tonight's show.
Her fashion switch may be all the more noticeable to viewers because of the cheeky PE teacher's tendency to purse her lips throughout the episodes, particularly in reaction to judges Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry's comments.
She has previously lit up screens with her eye-catching cosmetics, sporting a kaleidoscope of colour with everything from hot pink to vampire red and a pillar box shade she dubbed "red for bread week."
Yet tonight her impressive two-tier celebration cake proves brighter than her make-up.
Telly fans will see her in full concentration as she ices the bright yellow sweet treat before delicately piping on rose detail.
It remains to be seen whether ditching her lucky style charm will see her performance plummet in the BBC show.
Candice claimed her second star baker in the last show for Pastry Week.
Last week, her facial expression once again caused a frenzy online, with fans of the BBC star flocking to social media to discuss her now famous pout.
One person tweeted: “I’m sitting on the sofa pouting. It takes stamina. I have face ache. Candice must have face ache. Candice makes my face ache. ”
Another remarked: “Candice’s pout. Needs to stop. #GBBO.”
While someone else tweeted: “Standard Candice starting the show with a pout #startasyoumeantogoon #GBBO.”
The saucy contestant juggled baking with giving hosts Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins a run for their money in the innuendo stakes.
Talking about her Showstopper Bake sausage, black pudding and apple filo pastries, she tells the hosts “It’s good to get your hands in and give your sausages a good squeeze.”

Meanwhile Candice won't be the only one hogging screen time this evening.
New reports suggest that it’s all set to go down between Selasi Gbormittah andBenjamina Ebuehi tonight as they both end up making the same cake.
The popular pair are asked to come up with a citrus meringue pie with an unusual filling by judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood and presenters Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins.
However, things don’t go to plan when they realise they have the same idea.
While Selasi is usually known for his calm and cool exterior in the kitchen, things become heated between the pair as they decide to make a grapefruit pie.
Sue quizzes Bejamina about what happened, asking: “Who copied who? What’s Selasi been doing? Reading your emails?
“Do you think he is outside your house by the bins with night vision goggles?”
In response, Benjamina tells her: “It was my idea to do grapefruit. I think maybe he hacked into my laptop.”
That’s not the only copy-pie cat drama on tonight’s show, as both Jane Beedle and Candice Brown also decide to make the same dessert of a coconut and lime pie.
