CHUFF PASTRY

Russell Brand shocked Bake Off watchers with a dedication to his wife's intimate areas made entirely from cookies
A CRUDE biscuit dish made by Russell Brand was a mass turn-off for The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer.

It featured representations of sperm and placenta, four figures in a birthing pool — and Brand, 43, looking on in the role of the “wise old man”.
But the Tuesday night audience plummeted from 3.7million to 3.1million. Viewer Michele Paul tweeted: “Russell Brand should be banned from saying ‘vagina’ forever. His past as a sexist creep is not redeemed by paternity. Ugh.”
The creation went down better with judges, who made him star baker ahead of actor John Lithgow, comic Jon Richardson and Paralympian Hannah Cockroft.
Paul Hollywood exclaimed: “I’ve never heard of a biscuit quite like it.”

She called it “a celebration of womanhood”.
