Sara Cox wins Great Celebrity Bake Off Stand Up to Cancer’s Star Baker apron after impressing with her unique cake in the shape of fellow Radio 2 host Jeremy Vine

Sara Cox was awarded the Star Baker apron on The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer on Channel 4 on Sunday.

The Radio 2 host, 49, impressed judges Dame Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood after acing every challenge and receiving the second Hollywood handshake of the series.  

Sara and fellow contestants Adam Hills, Reverent Richard Coles and Joe Locke were tasked with biscuits in the Signature category, custard slices in the Technical bake and finally a Showstopper where they created cakes depicting their famous best friends. 

The DJ baked a toffee cake in the shape of colleague Jeremy Vine riding a penny farthing – to honour his love of bikes – which the judges branded ‘absolutely delicious’. 

Following her win Sarah said: ‘My kids won’t believe it, it all feels like a weird cheese dream!’.

And declared she would never take off her winning apron.

Meanwhile Prue explained: ‘[Sara] walked into the tent, she won the Signature, the Technical and the Showstopper. She’s a good baker’.

After presenting her Jeremy cake to the judges Paul said: ‘You’ve managed to create something very professional’. 

Only for Sara to quip: ‘First time in my career that I’ve created something professional.

Adam decided to use the showstopper challenge to make his own unique cake in the shape of his Last Leg co-presenter Alex Brooker’s prosthetic leg. 

Admitting to the judges: ‘Alex knows I’m making it, but what he doesn’t know is that I am doing it is because he is not my famous best friend but I thought a prosthetic leg would be easier to make than a head’. 

Despite impressing with the desserts decoration the judges struggled to cut it and declared the comedian had both over mixed and over baked his offering.

Heartstoppers star Joe meanwhile made a Victoria Sponge in honour of friend and ‘Broadway royalty’ Patty Lupone.
