The Channel 4 spin-off An Extra Slice, filmed at White City in West London, encourages fans to send in their own ”tasty offerings”.

But comic Jo, 62, said: “Don’t eat the cakes the students have made — it is the only rule that we adhere to.

“They’ve either got dope in them or they have been p***** in.”

When Bake Off was on BBC2 in 2013, a contestant used hemp, made from cannabis plants, in flour.

Former judge Mary Berry, 84, said: “I know nothing about hemp. Is it a grass?”

Host Sue Perkins, 49, said: “How would I describe hemp to you, Mary? Let’s just say this is the legal side of hemp. So there’s an illegal side and a legal side.”

She added: “The leaf is naughty cigarettes, Mary.”

Rapper and notorious weed smoker Snoop Dogg, 47, previously revealed he is a fan of the show, now hosted by Sandi Toksvig and Noel Fielding.

He hinted he made cannabis cakes when he said: “I guess you could say my speciality was brownies — just maybe not the kind Mary Berry is used to.”
