‘Stay Alert. Protect the Cake. Save Loaves.’
The Great British Bake Off returned for its 11th series with a bang on Tuesday night, as Matt Lucas impersonated a bumbling Boris Johnson addressing the nation.
The episode was delayed by 15 minutes due to Boris Johnson’s pre-recorded message being broadcast at 8pm, which appeared to anger some eager Bake Off fans.
But they were compensated with a hilarious sketch, mocking the prime minister.
Aside from Lucas’ uncanny impression of Johnson, Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood all featured in the sketch too, playing the roles of the advisors either side of Lucas as Johnson, with Noel Fielding asking a question via video link. The question? How to pronounce scone.
Enjoy the sketch by watching the below video.
