The final challenge sent the tent into chaos, as the contestants were tasked with creating a chocolate collar cake in 30 degree heat.
Manon, who hails from France, chose to make a cake for the children she used to au pair, which featured fondant figurines of a young prince and princess.
Host Noel Fielding immediately compared the little boy to Sandi Toksvig, joking: "Sandi's had an accident!" after spotting the iced figure lying on the table.
When he asked Manon if the decorations were based on them, she quipped: "Yeah, well it's you fast asleep and Sandi is f***ed off because you’re late."
