But Clara couldn’t resist trying to rise to the occasion, as a long time fan of the show as she explained: “I’m a huge fan of the show. It’s so good-natured, and so comforting. It’s sort of like your favourite old comfy jumper. I’ve got so much respect for every single person who appears on this show now. You know, when you’re at home, and you’re shouting at the telly ‘No, do this. Don’t do that. Do it quicker.’ But when you’ve been in here, you know it’s a very, very different experience.
Clara recalled: “That was quite intense! I hope to redeem myself to anyone who saw me try to make a sweet dish from scratch. I was the first one out. I was out the door!” But when it comes to being named Star Baker, Clara isn’t worrying too much. Because she’s taking part to support a vital cause, the beneficiary charity Stand Up To Cancer.
