Noel Fielding on Bake Off
Noel has been a co-host on The Great British Bake Off since 2017. As well as providing support to contestants in the tent he also has the very important job, alongside the show's other co-host, of announcing who the winner of Bake Off is. Originally he presented the show alongside Sandi Toksvig, but after three years she decided to step down and actor and comedian, Matt Lucas, took over. Together, the pair have been well received by the public who bring a sense of lightness to, what can be, a very tense tent! The 2020 finalist, Laura Adlington, even told the Metro Noel’s like “a big kid” and was always getting told off in the tent.
“He used to play a game where he’d steal the pictures of the bakers and he’d swap them around just for a laugh,” Laura shared.
“The producers would then have to watch the footage back to see whose was whose so the judges couldn’t give us the wrong feedback. He’s so funny, he’s like a big kid really.”
